And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The prettiest piston-engined airliner ever. Not the greatest plane to fly in from Travis AFB, CA to Anderson AFB, Guam, via Hickam AFB, Midway, and Wake Island. They just couldn't get up above all the weather. It was much worse if you were only three years old. Perhaps not as bad as for the sailor detailed to help Mom with twins barely old to fly. Perhaps.
The TWA Hotel at JFK has a Connie next to it that is now set up as a bar. The hotel is very nicely done and is worth a visit.
