| "Language is the most human & therefore most recent of our mental skills -- the one we share with no other ape. Language seems to come into the brain like an invading Goth, taking the place of other skills, & testosterone appears to resist this... it is indisputable fact that at the age of 5, when they 1st arrive at school, the average boy has a very different brain from the average girl." --- Matt Ridley 1994 _The Red Queen_ pg 257 |

| "In the presidential campaign the previous year [1932] he [Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)] had vied with [Herbert Hoover] in proclaiming his devotion to 'sound money', which presumably meant the gold standard; OTOH, in January, 2 months after his election, he had said to a journalist that if the depression continued 'we may be forced to an inflation of our currency', which sounded like just the opposite. His intimates were all but unanimous in their agreement that he combined virtual illiteracy in monetary affairs with unshakable confidence in the superiority of his own off-hand notions about it to the accepted wisdom of the experts; that he treated the subject of money as a casual, rather amusing game that alternately bored and fascinated him; and that the game tended to bring out his strain of sophomoric humor." --- John Brooks 1969 _Once in Golconda: A True Drama of Wall Street_ pg151 |
