 Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries. New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.

John Wayne was bigger than life. In an age of few heroes, he was the genuine article. But he was more than a hero; he was a symbol of many of the qualities that made America great - the ruggedness, the tough independence, the sense of personal conviction and courage - on and off the screen - that reflected the best of our national character.

We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities - not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself.
