Summary

This quote by William Claude Dukenfield, known as W.C. Fields, expresses the sentiment that in Hollywood, women are stereotypically portrayed as flawless and perfect ("peaches"). However, the quote suggests that this constant perfection can become monotonous and sometimes a person may desire something different or less predictable - symbolized by an "apple". It touches on the idea that there is beauty in diversity and imperfections, challenging the notion of the idealized Hollywood image.

Dr. Franklin was for retaining the clause on impeachment, as favorable to the executive. History furnishes one example only of a first magistrate being formally brought to public justice. Every body cried out against this as unconstitutional. What was the practice before this, in cases where the chief magistrate rendered himself obnoxious? Why, recourse was had to assassination, in which he was not only deprived of his life, but of the opportunity of vindicating his character. It would be the best way, therefore, to provide in the Constitution for the regular punishment of the executive, where his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal, where he should be unjustly accused.
