SOME PRESIDENTS WORTH QUOTING FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES 7/3/2017

GEORGE WASHINGTON " The freedom of speech may be taken away... and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep. to the slaughter."


RONALD REAGAN " there is no more essential ingredient than a free independent press to our continued success in what the founding fathers called our noble experiment in self-government."


JOHN F. KENNEDY " There is a terrific disadvantage  not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily, to an administration even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove."


It would serve America well is Mr. Trump brushed up on his U.S. history!
