1. Michael is making me crazy! I want to guess ABC, but he seems to be trying to change my mind to NBC... or CBS.... Or the CW (which is Clearly Wrong). Since he's standing over my shoulder,I can't cheat and look it up.....
2. I was going to say Kate Smith, but he says it's a guy... (a tip for the rest of you!)

I couldn't stand the suspense - I had to know what president was born on the 4th of July. And I think I may have liked him... his dry Yankee wit and his frugality with words became legendary. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, recounted that a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him she had bet she could get at least three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her he quietly retorted, "You lose."
