Had kind of a fun letter this morning. In today’s Impromptus, I talk about the Empire State Building, and that led our letter-writer to talk about the Statue of Liberty — and then to say this:

“Was reading a beer coaster with Samuel Adams advertising on the top and a quotation on the bottom side: ‘If we suffer tamely an attack on our liberties, we welcome it, and include others in our doom.’ It is attributed to Samuel Adams. Did he say it, to your knowledge?”

I don’t know, but I like it. The things you can learn from a beer coaster.
