I have only a vague memory of my grandfather as I was only a child when
he died but I will show all my family's famous name is safe in my
keeping.
I do the same thing every day. I eat three meals, sleep six hours and
read dusty old books the rest of the time. My life is about as devoid
of anything funny as the great desert is of grass.
I have often thought that the life of the President is like that of the
policeman in the opera, not a happy one.
After the heavy blow of the death of my wife, I do not think that I
could have stood re-election.
