I was 15 years old.

Though I had absolutely no interest in it at the time, I clearly remember looking over the still photos posted outside our local movie theater (now a Korean mini-mall).

Especially recall studying that famous family portrait from Connie's wedding. I knew this film was big...really big. My mother had read the book about a year before & had been pretty excited about it. But still, I wondered a little bit what all the fuss was about. What could be so serious about a movie that had such a lovely wedding in it ... ????

Ahhhh, youth!!

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
