All Intensive Purposes

Gen. Mark Clark, former commander of U.S. forces in Italy during World War II and Korea during the Korean War, on being noticed in public:

It was a beautiful day in New York and as I walked along Fifth Avenue I realized somebody had been right behind me for blocks and I was curious, when finally the red light stopped my march, I was relieved to see a little old lady come up along side of me and smile and say ‘pardon my intruding on your privacy but I've admired you for many years.’ And I said ‘well thank you very much.... you make my day perfect and so on.’ The green light came and as I started to cross she said ‘and God bless you Senator Kefauver'."
