Can you imagine what might have happened had things turned out differently ? JOINT CHIEFS: "Mr. President, I'm afraid we have good news and bad news." FDR:  "Give me the bad news first." JOINT CHIEFS:  "We've suffered major reversals in Europe and the Pacific theaters.  Hitler and Tojo are on the march.  We're probably going to lose this war." FDR: "Oh My God !!!...Unreal.....quick, give me the GOOD news !!!" JOINT CHIEFS: "We have recovered Izzy Switt's 1933 Double Eagle.  SOB will never get another one from the Philly mint."[/QUOTE]
