Getting your approval is more of a political advantage, but not a legal requirement, |
He gave so much of his time. He made three or four trips out here, a week at a time from January to March. He was extremely popular wherever we put him. |
I am not interested in petty gossip; I am not interested in who sells the most records and the politicizing of economics that makes that possible. I am not interested in a body politic of the largely uninformed who attempt to politically designate certain people as deserving of wider recognition. |
