  "Patton's drive came to a halt simply due to a lack of fuel -- at a time when the weather, the road conditions, and the state of enemy resistance were all conducive to further advance. The fires of Auschwitz and Buchenwald would burn on, as the fastest-moving Allied army now simply halted in the face of non-existent opposition." --- Victor Davis Hanson 1999 _The Soul of Battle: From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How 3 Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny_ pg333

  "Isn't that what any business man is, a gardener. He works on flinty soil to make it productive with the labor of his own hands. He waters it with the sweat of his own brow. He makes a thing of value for his family & for the community. Yes, indeed, Chauncey. A productive business man is a laborer in the vineyard." --- Benjamin Turnbull Rand (Jack Warden?) 1979 in "Being There" screen-play by Jerzy Kosinski
