"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"?Like the chariot race and the bearded prophet Moses, Heston will be best remembered for several indelible cinematic moments: playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with Orson Welles in the oil fields in ?Touch of Evil?, his rant at the end of ?Planet of the Apes? when he sees the destruction of the Statue of Liberty, his discovery that ?Soylent Green is people!? in the sci-fi hit ?Soylent Green? and the dead Spanish hero on his steed in ?El Cid?.? And as Wally Conger points out, Heston was named John Carter at birth."
