I was one of the first people to learn that Jackie was going to marry Aristotle Onassis.

Jackie Kennedy was magnificent in the days and weeks immediately following her husband's assassination. She was especially wonderful to me.

President Kennedy was a voracious reader and was forever coming up with fascinating bits of information.

A lot of people criticize the primaries, but I think they are absolutely essential to the education of the President of the United States.

American people simply will not countenance being lied to by their own President.

The death of JFK to the resignation of Richard Nixon marked a great turning point in American life.

On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself.

America Held Hostage won 24 Emmys for ABC News, but someone forgot to include my name on the list of people responsible for the show.

He's the president of the United States. He's got to work 14 to 16 hours a day, run foreign and domestic policy. If he's got time for mistresses after all that, what the hell difference does it make?

Whole generations have forgotten history.

An isolationist America is no bloody use to anyone.

My focus is that firearms are handled safely and that we can continue to enjoy them here in North America.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

It's a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It's America's genre.

It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.

If we can just take a few companies, and use those as models, as examples, to show the rest of corporate America how they can become more competitive, that's what I'd like to do and that's what I hope to do.

The surest way to return to the people's business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and won't leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

Gary Smith, when I came to America, taught me a great deal about racing.
