One day this past week, a long time friend/teaching colleague tossed out the idea of peoples' favorite 'fat actor.' I could not decide between Andy Devine, the famous western 'sidekick' and Burl Ives who played 'Big Daddy' in 'Cat On a Hot Tin Roof,' in which Ives gave a riveting and passionate speech about 'mendacity.'
This brings me to my thought about 'speech' in and of itself. Again, I have difficulty deciding on my all-time favorite speech...perhaps Dr. King's, 'I Have a Dream...maybe Abe Lincoln's 'Gettysburg Address' and then it could be a dying Lou Gehrig's Yankee Stadium 'Farewell'
