    "History will be kind to me, for I shall write it".
    --Winston Churchill

    "Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
    --Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC

    During Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign he was asked if there were any secrets he would want to learn if he were president. His reply was:

    "All I want to know is who killed JFK and what's up with the UFOs."

    He was reminded of this during his first term. His answer then was:

    "I found out that if I ask those kinds of questions, I might wind up like JFK."
