I visited the Smithsonian Institution today. Do you know it was made possible by James Smithson who left about a half million dollars to America to set up an institute for the ongoing education of mankind?
Well he did. He was an Englishman--even though he was born in France and buried in Italy--his remains now rest in the Castle of the Smithsonian. I have said for years that the Smithsonian is greatest free show on earth--forget the free--It is the greatest show on earth. Everybody on earth should pay it a visit.
