George H. W. Bush
Time and again in this century, the political map of the world was transformed. And ineach instance a new world order came about through the advent of a new tyrant or the outbreak of a bloody global war, or its end.
George H. W. Bush
Ozone Man, Ozone. He's crazy, way out, far out, man.
