If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.”

But Cristes loore and his apostles twelve
He taughte, but first he folwed it hymselve.”
