Ford Madox Ford died today – 68 years ago

English novelist & poet Ford Madox Ford was born as Ford Hermann Hueffer on December 17, 1873 in Merton, Surrey, England. He said, “Only two classes of books are of universal appeal. The very best and the very worst." {1} [Wonder which one he thought he wrote?]... Mr. Ford died in 1939 in Deauville, France.

U.S. senator (South Carolina) Strom Thurmond was born on December 5, 1906 in Edgefield, South Carolina. He said, “Mr. Gore, I knew Harry Truman, ... I ran against Harry Truman. And Mr. Gore, you are no Harry Truman.” {2} [Hmmmm. I think I've heard something like that before.]... Mr. Thurmond died in 2003 in Edgefield, South Carolina.
