MAKE NO SMALL PLANS

   I took another look (using the newly digitized Chicago Tribune) at "make
no small plans" or "make no little plans," allegedly said by Chicago's
legendary architect Daniel Burnham.  There's nothing early that I can see.  I also
looked for "think big."

   "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood. . . . Aim
high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical fiagram once recorded
will never die. . . . Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty."
(II., 147.)

RICH IS BETTER

RICH IS BETTER--2,110 Google hits, 1,170 Google Groups hits

   "I've been poor and I've been rich.  Rich is better."
   This line is frequently attributed to both Joe E. Lewis and Sophie Tucker.
 I thought the Chicago Tribune would have something.  It didn't, but this is
pretty good.

   At the Tavern Mrs. George S. Kaufman urges a noted theatrical figure to
accept the movie offers being tendered him.  "Listen, and take my advice," she
urges.  "Don't overlook the money part of it.  I've been poor and I've been
rich.  Rich is better!"

   Another "Bronx cheer," through Chicago.  See ADS-L archives for this and
the following term.
   I worked only 8:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. today in a room with no air in the
Bronx...Thanks for not pointing out the typing mistakes in the last post.

made the announcement that he had signed articles to meet Jack Dempsey in New
