Two, it's not at all shocking, but a familiar part of my life and memory.

“The two-thirds rule of the Senate, which can be changed only by constitutional amendment, will no doubt continue for a long time to come.

“I had many, many, many death threats. I couldn't open letters for a long time, because they all had to be opened by either the FBI or somebody. I couldn't open letters. I had to be escorted. In fact, just recently I went to a funeral, Calvin Wardlaw, who was the detective -- the policeman -- with me for two years, passed away just recently. He and I got to be bosom buddies really, but that was the hardest part. I wasn't able to enjoy -- you know.” KnowsYearsLongTwoFactsAbleEnjoyLong TimeLettersThreatHardestTwo YearsFuneralBuddyPolicemenDetectivesBosomsFbiPassed Away Author:Hank Aaron
