Mr. President, you ought to know that this nation is more a Tale of Two Cities than it is just a shining city on a hill. ... Maybe—maybe, Mr. President, if you stopped in at a shelter in Chicago and spoke to the homeless there; maybe, Mr. President, if you asked a woman who had been denied the help she needed to feed her children because you said you needed the money for a tax break for a millionaire or for a missile we couldn’t afford to use. - Mario Cuomo, 1984.
