And, in 1937 there was me. True, I have not achieved greatness, but neither I have sought it. No great ambition to lead nations, be a rock or sports star. But I have achieved a great measure of happines and there is much to be said for that.
Moreover, I can and will produce my birth certificate if anyone asks. That's more than Obama will do!
