Somebody said, "You have to remember: The president is SIX!1"

and

Alice said, &quot TR) wanted to be the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and the baby at every baptism."

Toward the end of his tenure, TR is ruminating how greatness in presidents depends on their having had a war or great crisis, that nobody would know LINCOLN without the Civil War. And the narrator reads, &quot TR) had not had a war, had not had a great crisis. Some people thought HE WAS THE CRISIS!" Haha.
