Good afternoon. Seems like we have the same enemies just a little farther east today.

the public rallied behind the slogan, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!"

Unfortunately for the story, the first use of this slogan had nothing to do with the Barbary pirates. It had to do with bribery demands by officials of the French Directory in the famous XYZ affair.

LOL. That's why you don't see that quote in the original Post. It seems Richard Leiby didn't do the research for his story very well.

This is all great stuff.

I went on board the Connie in Boston in 1969 and again last fall. She was a lot bigger in 1969. She must have shrunk or something.
