*---- Quote of the Week ----*  

For more than a century, ideological extremists at either  
end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-  
publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for  
the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American  
political and economic institutions.  

Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working  
against the best interests of the United States, character-  
izing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of  
conspiring with others around the world to build a more  
integrated global political and economic structure - one  
world, if you will.  

If that's the charge, I stand guilty and I am proud of it.  
--David Rockefeller, from his autobiography "Memoirs"

 

HISTORY ANSWER:
