—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration.... The United States does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.””
