"It's All in the Game" is a pop song whose most successful version was recorded by #TommyEdwards in 1958. #CarlSigman composed the lyrics in 1951 to a wordless 1911 composition titled "Melody in #AMajor", written by #CharlesGDawes, who was later #VicePresidentOfTheUnitedStates under #CalvinCoolidge. It is the only No. 1 single in the U.S. to have been co-written by a U.S. Vice President or a #NobelPeacePrize laureate (Dawes was both).

I present a quote from an article I wrote about an interesting passage from the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge: As I looked on him and realized that he personally represented the glory and dignity of the United States I wondered how it felt to bear so much responsibility and little thought I should ever know. Calvin Coolidge reflecting on seeing then-President Benjamin […]

[Note] Happy Presidents’ Day (2026)!

I celebrate Presidents Day 2026 with a Calvin Coolidge quote about Benjamin Harrison and a somewhat iconic photograph of the 47th President.
