I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.
Gerald R. Ford
Theirs is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on, or someone must write The End to it. I have concluded that only I can do that. And if I can, I must.
Gerald R. Ford
The spirit of seeking understanding through personal contact with people of other nations and other cultures deserves the respect and support of all.
