The House of Peers, throughout the war, did nothing in particular, and did it very well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Home wasn't so much a house as people, family.
Blank House was exactly a nice empty sheet where nothing was accountable because you were so naughty that you were in Blank House.
Our house was destroyed in 1943, and I moved the family to a cottage I owned before the war in the Bavarian Alps. This cottage was meant for a very few people, and at the end of the war, there were about 13 people in this very small house.
I was given no special information by the White House, or by anybody else, for that matter.
The Iraq war was not necessary.
The Constitution has not greatly bothered any wartime President.
After having dispatched a meal, I went ashore, and found no habitation save a single house, and that without an occupant; we had no doubt that the people had fled in terror at our approach, as the house was completely furnished.
All the papers contained nothing but fantastic stories about the war. However, for several months we had been accustomed to war talk. We had so often packed our service trunks that the whole thing had become tedious.
There's nothing glamorous about war at all.
The biggest problem was the politicians knew nothing about fighting a war.
