A Scott Berg After ‘Lindbergh,’ my publisher asked whom I wanted to write about next. I said, ‘There’s one idea I’ve been carrying in my hip pocket for 35 years. It’s Woodrow Wilson.’ – A Scott Berg Carrying Quotes Hip Quotes Idea Quotes Lindbergh Quotes Pocket Quotes Publisher Quotes Wilson Quotes Woodrow Quotes Write Quotes I’m so blessed to have such enlightened parents.
