“Julie and I had met several times and played together as eight year olds in January 1957, at the time of the second Eisenhower-Nixon inauguration. On Inauguration Day, a photograph was taken of us on the reviewing stand with Granddad, Vice President Nixon, my seven-year-old sister, Anne, and Julie's ten-year-old sister, Tricia. Julie, who had lost control of her sled the week before and crashed into a tree, had a skinned nose and dramatic black eye. At one point when the cameramen gathered to take pictures, Granddad had turned to her and whispered, "Look this way and they won't see your black eye." In the resulting photograph, I am staring intently at Julie and she is looking at me.”

“I devoutly hope that we will never again have to see such scenes as these. I think and hope, pray that humanity will learn more than we ... learned up to that time. But these people [allied soldiers during D-Day in Normandy] gave us a chance, and they bought time for us, so that we can do better than we have done before.”
