And we're getting there very quickly.”

We would need a public health campaign of massive proportions if there really were over a fifty percent rate of infant mortality.”

Fortunately for me, when I was toying with that idea, John Landgraf, who's the head of FX but also a very smart executive, came up with the idea of the ashes in the maracas.
