...Nixon's real hero, whom he quoted on that last day in the White House, was Teddy Roosevelt. We should be grateful that the peacemaking statesman in Nixon triumphed over the ghost of TR, who said: "No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumph of war." Presidents are as complex as the rest...
...vocal and verbal acuity in top form. This song, like the one with Sinatra, was considerably revised - ad-libbed, if you like - from Cole Porter's text.

If your drive is anything else, it's not worth it to you-it's not worth it to anyone that would ever hear you. That has to be your focus. Everything else will follow if that is your main motivation...
