> "We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." OK, I will admit that I cheated on this one: This quote is the justification that Decca records gave for rejecting the Beatles in 1962.

Theodore H. "Teddy" Roosevelt Jr. (b.1858 d.1919) in 1906, 26th President of the United States 1901-1909, Republican, veteran of the Spanish-American War who established the National Parks system, explored the Amazon Basin, and was the uncle of (then) future first-lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Now it's my turn--who said: "The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."

Yeah, he said at the time that it would be his "last press conference" but it was in 1962, after he had his ass handed to him in the California governor's race by Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown. Supposedly, Nixon had been up all night after losing the election and was still half drunk. Andrew
