...more resounding than ever. At Baltimore's Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem in 1814, President Ford said that in America's third century, "quality and permanence should be the measurements of our lives" and "mass production, mass education, mass population must not smother individual expression."
