“When a party can't think of anything else they always fall back on Lower Taxes. It has a magic sound to a voter, just like Fairyland is spoken of and dreamed of by all children. But no child has ever seen it; neither has any voter ever lived to see the day when his taxes were lowered. Presidents have been promising lower taxes since Washington crossed the Delaware by hand in a row boat. But our taxes have gotten bigger and their boats have gotten larger until now the President crosses the Delaware in his private yacht.” ThinkingChildrenHas BeensHandsFallSoundPresidentPartyMagicTaxesCrossesBiggerBoatVotersFall BackYachtDelawareRow Boats Book:Will Rogers' Weekly Articles: The Harding Source: Will Rogers' Weekly Articles: The Harding

My dad brought over a large family of Shatners when he was very young. Scraped together the money, got 11 brothers and sisters a passage on the boat. There's a lot of Shatners in Montreal.” Has BeensTogetherYoungMotherBornCitiesBrotherDadMy DadBoatBordersGermanyImmigrantsPassagesBrothers And SistersCould Have BeenPolandMontrealAustriaLarge Family Author:William Shatner

“In the [first] fifteen years [of field work] I can remember just ten times when I had really narrow escapes from death. Two were from drowning in typhoons, one was when our boat was charged by a wounded whale; once my wife and I were nearly eaten by wild dogs, once we were in great danger from fanatical lama priests; two were close calls when I fell over cliffs, once I was nearly caught by a huge python, and twice I might have been killed by bandits.” YearsFirstsHas BeensI CanTwoMightRememberWifeDogDangerFieldsHugeTenCaughtMy WifeBoatPriestsFifteenWoundedMight Have BeenDrowningCliffsWhalesFifteen YearsLamaPythonBanditsTyphoonsWild DogsClose Calls Author:Roy Chapman Andrews
