Dan turned 90 years old today. Hard to believe, he still seems so youthful to me. A National Treasure, to be sure!
Many more, dear sir!

(11,564 posts)I knew of him, of course, but he exploded into my consciousness during a press conference with Nixon, right around when Watergate was turning serious. Nixon called on him for his question, and there was a bit of a stir among the rest of the gallery.
RMN: "Well, that's quite a stir. Are you thinking of running for office, Dan?"
DR: "No, Mr. President. Are you?"
Perfection. It's stuck with me for almost 40 years.
