## Quotes

* Ladies and gentlemen, in a few days we're going to go to the polls. And when you step into the polls you're going to have a very basic choice. If you want a liberal government, in favor of gay marriages and gun control and locking up state lands, then the Democrats have a candidate for you. If on the other hand you want a governor who is pro-family, opposed to gun control and in favor of opening up our state lands for recreation and hunting and mining and fishing and logging, someone who will reform CSED, someone who will impose a conservative agenda on the state, and swing the pendulum away from the liberals and back to the conservatives. Then I'd appreciate your support. Thank you very much.

* The rule of dollar democracy by our financiers and industrialists at home has been translated into a regime of dollar diplomacy abroad and in our vast colonial possessions. American democracy now truly rests upon a monarchy of gold and an aristocracy of finance.

## Quotes

Quotes from "AT LUNCH WITH: Malachy McCourt — How a Rogue Turns Himself Into a Saint; The Blarney Fails to Hide an Emotional Directness":
* Cute in Ireland meant cunning and devious … And I'm not sure that I'm not.
* I left school at age 13. I was illiterate with no role models. The great psychobabble today is the dysfunctional family. Well, I've never met one that was functional. In Limerick, a family that was dysfunctional was one who could afford to drink but didn't.
* I had the taste of the alcohol since I was 11 … It allowed me to be clever, charming and to behave outrageously. Acting also allowed me not to be me. So I could indulge every fantasy in this paradise of America.
* On his brother Frank: He's an amazing man … When he was 12, one of our schoolmasters said: "My boy, you are a literary genius. My strong suggestion is to go to America. They will appreciate you there." Over the years I've read what he's written that never got published, and I always said it still holds. He is a literary genius. Also the most nonjudgmental decent guy. He forgives.

## Quotes

* This way, gentlemen, if you please. Come right on board the Declaration. I am the man from Oregon, with dispatches to the President of these United States, that you all read about in this morning's paper.

# Robert Daniel Murphy

Robert Daniel Murphy (October 28, 1894 – January 9, 1978) was an American diplomat. He served as the first United States Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs when the position was established during the Eisenhower administration.

## Quotes

* Just a word about the current trend. Apparently there is on the part of some of our officers no particular eagerness to occupy Berlin first. It is not at all impossible that our forces may linger along the Elbe "consolidating" their position. This will be true in the event there is substantial German resistance. One theory seems to be that what is left of Berlin may be tenaciously defended house by house and brick by brick. I have suggested the modest opinion that there should be a certain political advantage in the capture of Berlin even though the military advantage may be insignificant.

### Diplomat among Warriors

    Diplomat among Warriors (New York: Doubleday & Co., Inc., 1964)
* From the day when General Mark Clark flew into Algiers, bringing as an assistant, not a professional soldier but the motion picture producer Darryl Zanuck, my chief preoccupation in Africa concerned Americans. Being on duty in Algiers after November 8, 1942, seemed like the old days in Paris before the war, when both visiting and resident Americans expected our embassy to give them top priority over all other responsibilities.
** Ch. 11: Everybody Gets into Eisenhower's Act
** See Operation Torch
* In Britain the head of each department is a political appointee, but the no. 2 man is a career officer and it is he who provides continuity in policy between changing administrations... The British... evolved [this system] because they had worldwide commitments, and now that Americans are confronted with similar responsibilities, the United States Government no doubt will also place more reliance on our "men who stay no matter what happens in elections."

** See Permanent secretary (UK)
* The seed planted by our first diplomat, Benjamin Franklin, is growing into the finest diplomatic instrument in the world. In linguistics, in technical knowledge, in contacts with peoples and problems of different parts of the world, in quality of reporting and negotiating, and in promotion of the national interest, our Foreign Service now rates with the best.... A new generation, competent and resourceful, is overcoming prejudice and doubt. From its own vigorous ranks it will produce its leaders and it will receive the understanding and appreciation of the American public. What is past is prologue.

## Quotes about Muse

* Darden won a handsome primary victory on August 5, 1941 against two antimachine candidates.

## Quotes

* But how far this court, in whom the judiciary powers may in some sort be said to be concentrated, shall have power to declare the nullity of a law passed in its forms by the legislative power, without exercising the power of that branch, contrary to the plain terms of that constitution, is indeed a deep, important, and I will add, a tremendous question, the decision of which might involve consequences to which gentlemen may not have extended their ideas. I am happy in being of opinion there is no occasion to consider it upon this occasion; and still more happy in the hope that the wisdom and prudence of the legislature will prevent the disagreeable necessity of ever deciding it, by suggesting the propriety of making the principles of the Constitution the great rule to direct the spirit of their laws.

# Obituary (band)

Obituary is an American death metal band forming in 1984.

## Quotes about Obituary

* Obituary [...] were less musically adept than Morbid Angel or Death, so they downplayed whirlwind tempos for chugging, grimy half-time rhythms that sounded like they were oozing from a sewage treatment plant.
** Jon Wiederhorn of Loudwire
* If death metal first came to life during the mid- to late '80s courtesy of bands like Florida's Death [...] Obituary, brought it to fruition in 1989 with Slowly We Rot. [...] These innovations don't seem so revolutionary now, given the innumerable death metal bands that arose during the '90s and beyond [...] But in 1989, Obituary were blazing a new trail, along with other Florida peers like Morbid Angel and, a bit later, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse.
** Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic
* Tampa’s own Obituary managed to stand out among the early Floridian death metal bands by way of a very simple, but effective songwriting strategy. Namely, while most of their contemporaries were still indebted to thrash and raging away at blazing speeds, Obituary embraced the slower tempos typical of doom metal, and fused it all together behind some of the era’s heaviest guitar tones. 1990’s gore-infested sophomore album, ‘Cause of Death,’ arguably provides the ultimate expression of this template, which also saw vocalist John Tardy vomiting senseless gurgles into his microphone, as often as not, instead of bothering to write lyrics few would comprehend anyway.
** Eduardo Rivadavia of Loudwire
* While most death metal bands focused on being fast and angry, Obituary took their sweet time crafting eerie, humidity-drenched riffs that kept sweaty heads banging.
** Chris Krovatin of Kerrang!
* Despite the fact that Tardy's widdlesome style contrasted with West's direct and brutal approach, Obituary's bludgeoning attack remained undiminished.
** Phil Alexander of Kerrang!, as quoted from the liner notes of Cause of Death

# Wes Montgomery

John Leslie "Wes" Montgomery (March 6, 1923 – June 15, 1968) was an American jazz guitarist. Montgomery was known for his unusual technique of plucking the strings with the side of his thumb and for his extensive use of octaves, which gave him a distinctive sound.
Montgomery often worked with his brothers Buddy (Charles F.) and Monk (William H.), as well as organist Melvin Rhyne. His recordings up to 1965 were oriented toward hard bop, soul jazz, and post bop, but around 1965 he began recording more pop-oriented instrumental albums that found mainstream success. His later guitar style influenced jazz fusion and smooth jazz.

## Quotes about Wes Montgomery

* With his phenomenal ear, Wes quickly grew beyond his influences and developed a style all his own. His knack for melody, groundbreaking use of octaves in a soloing context and intricate chord solos—as demonstrated in his devastating interpretations of standards like “Round Midnight” and “Days of Wine and Roses”—broadened the range of guitar, pushing the instrument into unchartered territory.
