Affixed to the backstop of the St. Anthony Little League Stadium in Utica, NY was a small and not terribly pretty sign that simply said: "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." This was where I played Little League in the late fifties, a simpler time.

Ike was President and Speaker Sam Rayburn and Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson controlled Congress. One was a Republican, the others were Democrats. But that didn't seem to matter. They were our leaders and we believed them. They were not ideologues but somehow we got balanced budgets, enough money for social programs, the first Civil Rights Act in nearly 100 years, the desegregation of public schools, and a successful space program.
