Government

Intelligence

"I think 'no comment' is a splendid expression. I am using it again and again."
Talking
"Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart."
