...Lillian Gish (my favorite) ; Greta Garbo, the charming Janet Gaynor. Any overacting is quite out of the question! ... Do not be in a hurry to get rich. Do not be influenced by those who ring in your ears promises of hundreds of thousands. Be kind. Americans do not like evil and capricious people...
...other hand to have on the bench a coach who is a fine example to his men is by no means an evil. He can impress them more deeply by showing himself capable under pressure. Undoubtedly the game has been managed too much by the coach. Indeed, to instruct the pitcher or catcher to look toward the bench before every pitched ball is perhaps going too far.

Famed men of the day are shown in typical guises, Editor James Gordon Bennett as a woolly, aggressive cur, President Buchanan as an Irish plug-ugly, President William Henry Harrison with his cider barrel. Many a caricaturist saw Lincoln as the embodiment of evil, a crooked juggler, a murderer (in England), a bad boy with "American manners," an afrite (evil genie). Few drew him as he is done today, compassionate, Christlike. The book amply demonstrates that the draftsmanship of the time, while amusing, was almost ghastly in its ineptitude...
