"The white race cannot survive without dairy products."--Herbert Hoover
Supreme Court David Davis and his beard. Evidently the Waite court favored this sort of beard, as Chief Justice Morrison Waite had virtually the precise style.
Appointed by Lincoln in 1862, he served until 1877. He resigned that year and served a term as Senator from Illinois, from 1877 to 1883.
