Richard Nixon approached Ted Sorenson after J.F.K’s
inaugural address with these words:
“Ted, I listened to Jack Kennedy’s inaugural yesterday and I
have to admit there were some words that he said that I wish I had said.”
Sorenson, touched by Nixon’s comment, said, “I guess you
mean the comment about, ‘Ask not what you country can do for you…’.”
“No, not that one, the one about “I solemnly swear…’.”
–Richard Nixon
Moral? Perhaps if you want something bad enough....
