There was widespread regret that no
flaShlight picture was taken Of that
vast throng, TO he kept as a reminder
of how Albut tuerQue can entertain a

Statesman vs.. Politician.
Defining the difference between a
statesman and a politician he said:
"a statesman is one who lies awake
nights thinking and planning to do
something for everybody, while pol

Jefferson advocated universal edu-
