Think of a dawn, just one mile from the White House. Well, what's so wonderful about that? It's closer than Al Smith ever got. Well, that's a great time. Ah, there's certainly is a great sound, Don. Every place you go, you meet senators, congressmen, diplomats, statesmen, jello salesmen. I knew that, yes.
