I'm fascinated by the concept of what I call 'clusters of creativity': the Brontes, the Waughs, families with several geniuses. I'm one of four; competition among siblings has to be a factor.

My father had left school at 18, without enough money to go to college - and, with four sons after the war, said he could still not afford to do so.

Since his inauguration in 2009, President Obama has upheld FDR's vision of America as a nation that keeps its word - a nation still committed to uphold the 'four freedoms' that President Roosevelt set down in the great Atlantic Charter of August 1941.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, in my judgment, will go down in history as one of the four 'great' presidents since the U.S. reluctantly became an empire in World War II; Richard Nixon as the nearest to a sociopath by the time he was compelled to resign.

Dustin has what I call the X-factor. If he doesn't go out there with great stuff – and I don't think he went out there as sharp as he had been – but he's going to compete and give you everything he's got. What a great job he did to keep us in the ballgame.

Several families have brought in their dead.
