know much about the intermediate
processes. We know it is a great
country, with lots of good people in
it, and destined to a great future, but
what ups and downs it may have we

presidential business again, despite

held the presidency from the day Will

the White House for the last seven or
eight years.
But so long as the colonel lives
there is hope.
He admits it himself Berkshire
