The truck was really fast, we just couldn't get a long enough green flag run there toward the end to get a good run on Todd and Skinner. But we were fast.

To be on the safe and humane side, let every relative and friend ... remember the golden rule, which has never been suspended with respect to the insane. Go to see them, treat them sanely, write to them, keep them informed about the home circle let not your devotion flag, nor accept any repulse.

What the American people must never forget - is that when Fascism comes to America it will come wrapped in American flag
