    • Quotes

      Randolph Ludwin: Now, I guess I don't have to tell any of you. But if you managed to survive in the cut-throat world of hi-tech, you're a fortunate man. And if you helped saved the lives of the young men and women on the front line, you are blessed. But if you managed to do both, then, by golly, you are one lucky bastard. Pardon my French - do we still say that?
