I am giving Joe Jr. an example of huge moral courage, letting him learn anew the significance of the motto, or the Forecast coat-of-arms. We stood together in my library my hand on little Joe's shoulder; and I pointed to the famous Forecast crest--crossed shovels, a sitting bull couchant on a field gules argent, with the scutcheon emblazoned "Nimmermehr Alibi" And I said, "My son, remember this and live up to it as I have done."
Of course there was that little blonde from Cleveland who induced me to forecast Ohio to beat Princeton, but I don't mention that. Nor do I reveal the reasons of state that led me to pick Brown over Dartmouth- though they would surprise you.
