Mike: Good morning. Anderson for President. Voice: Yeah. This is Curt Wilkie from the "Globe." Mike: Yes, Mr. Wilkie. May I help you? Voice: Yeah, I'm trying to wrap up here, and I was wondering if the candidate had any last-minute platitudes before today's primary. Mike: I'm afraid not, sir. Mr. Anderson only talks in specifics. But I could get you an epigram if you want. Voice: Epigram? What am I going to do with an epigram? I was told he'd have a platitude. Mike: I'm sorry, sir. This is a campaign of ideas. Voice: "This is a campaign of ideas." Okay, that's good enough.
