[Steely Tom]

You know, as I grow older I become more and more convinced that there is really only one, transcendent question, one mystery, that more than any other thing we could possibly contemplate holds the secret to answering every other question in the universe, and that question is: What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

[Verginius Rufus]

It increasingly looks as if Dan Rather will go to his grave without revealing the answer to the question of "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

So without knowing the ultimate secret to answering every question in the universe, we will have to settle for the old-time cowboy's reply when asked about the mysteries of life: Younger women. Faster horses. Older whiskey. More money.
