Plus I liked Gerald Ford very much. Crazy of me? Maybe, but I think not. He seemed like a very nice man, I felt safe, and he welcomed George Harrison to the White House at his son's request. We need those WIN! buttons and stickers right now!
But President Ford goofed during a debate with Jimmy about Soviet domination in eastern Europe, and he endangered fellow golfers with wayward drives. But so have I; so sue me.
President Carter was the only president I ever saw in person. I was first in line at a red light when his motorcade passed by in downtown Hartford, CT. My brush with history.
Re: Lincoln. What does "generally considered possibly" to be our greatest president mean? And what dressing goes best with word salad?
Thanks. I love your Writers Almanac.
(It means Washington was our greatest President…)
Loved this on two people who changed the world. That they were born on the same day gives me pause. Thank you.
I don't want to mention any names, but I think our greatest presidents have the initials Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
