“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
“When a girls under 21, shes protected by law. When shes over 65, shes protected by nature. Anywhere in betweenshes fair game.”
—Stanley Shapiro (19251990)

—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
