Eugene McCarthy
Nixon is the kind of guy who, if you were drowning twenty feet from shore, would throw you a fifteen-foot rope.
McCarthy quotes
Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important.
McCarthy
"Broken things are powerful."
Things about to break are stronger still.
The last shot from the brittle bow is truest.
