"I cannot imagine better representatives of what we like to think our country stands for than the four men who have taken part in flights."

"He conducted a long and difficult fight for his country's independence, involving the most sensitive interests."

"So we want you to know that we are glad to see you again."

"If your organization did not oppose Social Security before its enactment--only afterwards--I will be glad to point out this unique distinction at my next press conference."
