Famous quotes containing the words bob and/or shaw:

    It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman’s porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.
    Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)

    There is the eternal war between those who are in the world for what they can get out of it and those who are in the world to make it a better place for everybody to live in.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
