Race Weekends

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or weekends:

    Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men—and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
