And Really, The Basis, I Think, Of

The President's Very Shrewd

I Didn't Come East Of The Mississippi For The First Time In My Life Until I Was 26 Years Of Age, But I Knew. I Read Magazines, I Listened To Radio, I Watched Television. I Knew There Was Something Out There, And I Wanted A Part Of It.

My Mother Did All She Could To Control Me, But At Age 14 She Sent Me To A Military School.

If You Have A Setback, And You're Not Doing Well And Then You Overcome It Somehow, It Always Sticks With You. You Know It Could Happen Again.

And Really, The Basis, I Think, Of Achieving Some Success In What I Want To Do Today Comes From My Mother's Push To Get Me To Read And To Make Something Of Myself From The Standpoint Of An Education.
