“The imbecilic behavior of the elected representatives of the<\/p>\n
people has made many ordinary mortals wish that there were<\/p>\n
at least educational standards for candidates.<\/p>\n
To have in Congress men who almost never know what they<\/p>\n
are talking about is unfortunate, not to say suicidal.<\/p>\n
But the experience we have had knowingly or not,\u00a0 with many<\/p>\n
of the products of Harvard, Yale, Annapolis and Princeton<\/p>\n
leads to the conviction that perhaps, beyond\u00a0 high school,<\/p>\n
education is not so important an asset as common sense,<\/p>\n
intelligence, integrity, and a self sacrificing spirit”.<\/p>\n
