Description: "Teaching Latin to someone like me in high school was somewhat like trying to teach a pig to dance. It's a waste of the teacher's time and it irritates the pig." "My daddy always said that a man who walks around with a smile on his face all the time can't possibly know what's going on." "I heard Senator Sam Irvin of Watergate fame say something that stayed with me: 'If you can paint a really good picture of a cow, you don't have to write the word "cow" under it.'" Fred Thompson. In these reflections, as hilarious as they are honest and warm, Fred touches on the influences -- family, hometown neighbors and teachers, team sports, jobs, romances and personal crises -- that molded his character, his politics and the way he looks at life today.
