He said the Harvard Audis think i talk into folksy language, but i know i reached them. Speak softly and carry a big stick. It summed up his entire administration. He then gave Maxwell House a slogan good until the very next stop. He was able with his relationship, but he was so interesting. He had a mida shave. When the barbarous shaving hand he is answering their questions and they say the barber has to keep up with him as hes moving around. He understood the press was an important channel for him to reach the public and so he would read their articles ahead of time. Investigative reporters would be able to criticize him.
