Shakespeare may have coined elbowroom in his 1597 play “King John.” The dying king in the final act is carried out into the orchard, situated on the castle grounds; breathing the fresh air, King John says, “Ah ... now my soul hath elbow room.” | Shakespeare may have coined elbowroom in his 1597 play “King John.” The dying king in the final act is carried out into the orchard, situated on the castle grounds; breathing the fresh air, King John says, “Ah ... now my soul hath elbow room.” | ||

I have listened to communists and other groups that can only be called enemies, accuse us of the worst intentions, the most inhuman ways of doing things, as the most dangerous people on earth, to be stopped and destroyed at all costs... But nothing I have heard in or from those places around us compared with the experience I had in the Dallas home of an American, whose hate for this country's leaders, and the way our institutions worked, was the most vicious, venomous and dangerous I have known in my life. No communist ever heard, no enemy of this nation has ever done a better job of degrading or belittling this country.

His views were shared on November 22, 1963. | It was a very special performance by a pillar of the American community, who influences things in his community.
