The design director believes that quote has been over-used (is it possible to overuse a quote that good?) and would like another. Can anyone suggest a nice one sentence quote? It need not be from a Supreme Court opinion. Thanx. Mel Melvin I. Urofsky 218 Bristol Downs Drive Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877 Home phone: (301) 740-2921 My study: (301) 740-9145 urofsky@comcast.net
