Quote of the Day (Adlai Stevenson, on Flattery)
“I have sometimes said that flattery is all right,
Mr. President, if you don't inhale it.”—Opening sentence of American
politician Adlai Stevenson Jr.'s first appearance as the American Ambassador to
the UN, February 1, 1961, in Looking Outward: Years of Crisis at The United Nations (1963)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
