“The other day Aks and I went up to your ranch for a day's fishing. I cannot remember any day when we have had more fun on a stream. We had along with us three newspaper men and a few secret service people, many of whom had never seen a trout stream, so we did the thing up right by borrowing frying pans, bacon and corn meal from the wife of your rancher - and we cooked an outdoor meal for the crowd. It was really quite a day.” PeopleMenRememberThreeFunSportsSecretWifeCrowdsNewspapersMealsStreamsFishingCornBorrowingTroutFryingSecret ServiceRanchersFrying Pans Author:Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Thomas A. Edison was once reluctantly persuaded by his wife to attend one of the big social functions of the season in New York. At last the inventor managed to escape the crowd of people vying for his attention, and sat alone unnoticed in a corner. Edison kept looking at his watch with a resigned expression on his face. A friend edged near to him unnoticed and heard the inventor mutter to himself with a sigh, "If there were only a dog here!"” PeopleIfsBigsLastsFacesSocialAttentionWatchesWifeHeardDogNew YorkExpressionSeasonsFunctionCrowdsCornersSatSighInventorUnnoticedResigned Author:Edmund Fuller
