    Thirty-five years ago, when I was a college student, people wrote letters. The businessman who read, the lawyer who traveled; the dressmaker in evening school, my unhappy mother, our expectant neighbor: all conducted an often large and varied correspondence.

    Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)

    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
