“This country needs room to grow and expand. In all my own newspapers I read frightful tales of the shameful atrocities being perpetrated on our Democratic minorities in Maine and Vermont. My patience is almost at an end, and if provoked much further I will place both countries under American protection, even if I have to send in my tourists to start trouble so I'll have to send in a force to restore order.” IfsNeedsEndsCountryOrderForceGrowsMy OwnRoomsTroubleDemocraticProtectionNewspapersTalesMinoritiesTouristsShamefulAtrocitiesMaineProvokedVermont Author:Gracie Allen

“[T]his free and easy old-bachelor sort of life is quite full of fun and jollity. Pease and myself room together; and everything like order and neatness is banished from our presence as a nuisance--old letters and old boots and shoes, duds clean and duds dirty, books and newspapers, tooth-brushes, shoe-brushes, and clothes-brushes, all heaped together on chairs, settees, etc., in dusty and "most admired confusion."

“It's immoral to parent irresponsibly... And it doesn't help matters any when prime time tv, like "Murphy Brown", a character who is supposed to represent a successful career woman of today, mocks the importance of the father by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another "lifestyle choice."

Even though our cultural leaders in Hollywood, network TV, the national newspapers routinely jeer at [such values] I think most of us in this room know that some things are good, and other things are wrong.” ThinkingKnowsChildrenMatterCharacterHelpingTodayValuesChoicesFatherParentRoomsLeaderCareersPovertySuccessfulTvsCallingProgramHollywoodImportanceLifestyleNewspapersBrownPrimeImmoralMurphyCareer WomenSuccessful CareerPrime TimeLifestyle ChoicesMurphy Brown Author:Dan Quayle
