    I just watched "The Gallant Hours." Near the end of the film, James Cagney's character, Admiral Halsey, says, "I recall a fella end of a long life who said he learned only three things. He said, 'I believe it's better to tell the truth than to lie; I believe it's better to know than to be ignorant; I believe it's better to be free than to be a slave.'"
