When I started out, I was always asked how old Pee-wee was, but I never wanted to attach an age to him. If it worked as a man trying to act like a kid, or a kid trying to act like a man, that was okay...
...heads who loved and cared for their subjects more than for their family members, but alas such benevolence is rare these days. Indians can only dream of a leader like King Bhumibol who could steer the ship of state to a safe harbor rather than sailing into storms of selfish politicians and running aground on the rocky shore.
