Since it is a presidential election year, we thought it appropriate to bring you snippets of trivia from the book
Presidential Trivia by Richard Lederer. Here is the second:
"During his 1924 presidential campaign, reporters eagerly sought out Calvin Coolidge. 'Have you any statement about the
the campaign?' 'No,' answered Coolidge. 'Can you tell us something about the world situation?' 'No.'
'Any information about the world situation?' 'No.' As the disappointed reporters started to leave,
Coolidge said solemnly, 'Now, remember--don't quote me.'"
