    PRESIDENTIAL TRIVIA
    Woodrow Wilson made up this limerick to describe himself:
    "For beauty I am not a star
    There are others more handsome by far
    But my face I don't mind it
    For I am behind it
    It's the people in front that I jar."

    One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.



    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
