I Feel That As Much

I Think It's Best To Pick A Biographical Subject Who Lives To A Ripe Old Age. Older People Tend To Relax And Speak Their Minds. They're Dropping Some Of The Masks That They've Been Wearing. There's A Candor.

I Feel Very Strongly That History Is About Everything. It Isn't Just About Politics Or The Military Or Social Issues. If Art, Music, Engineering, Science, Medicine, Finance, The World Of Architecture And Technology - If Those Are Left Out, Then You're Not Getting A Full Sense Of The Human Condition. History Is Human And We Human Beings Are Involved In All Kinds Of Things And That's Part Of Our Humanity.

Take The Teacher Not The Course. Find Out Who The Great Professors Are - The Great Teachers - And Take Their Courses Because A Subject That You May Not Think You're Interested In May Turn Out To Be Infinitely Fascinating Because Of The Way It's Taught.

I Think It Is One Of The Most Extraordinary Elections, A Turning Point For Our Country And For The World. That Remarkable Young Man [barack Obama] Has Kept His Demeanor, Kept His Temperament And Has Shown A Power To Inspire. I See What Energy That He Has Inspired Among The Young. Well, It Inspires Us Old Goats Too.

We Still Dislike Hypocrites. It's A Very American Characteristic. We Still Like People Who Have Ideas And Who Are Willing To Stand Up For What They Believe In. We're Very Forgiving Of Failures And Very Willing To Give People A Second And Third Chance If They Mean To Do Better And Are Sorry For What They've Done.
