Granted, it was no match for Sol's Delicatessen, but how can you say no to fried chicken, roast beef sandwiches, apple pie and kosher dills. OK, I admit it, there was some hard stuff there too, but I hold my cider and vodka well, and besides, I didn't drive home for at least four hours...
Ford did that. "The original mistake was mine," he said. "I did not express myself clearly; I admit it." The President also promised to sign a veterans' bill, sought by Polish Americans for 30 years, that would grant medical benefits to Poles and Czechs now living in America who fought under the Allied command in World Wars I and II.

Even Jean Lipman, his friend of 40 years who assembled the show, is forced to reluctantly admit that "inevitably there are a great many below top quality, and it is unfortunate that these have been exhibited and sold." As for Calder's dabbling in the world of business promotions, such as the aircraft he painted up for Braniff Airlines, the less said the better - even though it takes talent...
