Silent Cal Some presidents of the United States are known for the oratory skills, but Calvin Coolidge was known for his silence. Stay Cool with Coolidge was his re-election slogan, but also his demeanor. This Moment in History looks at the 30th presidents silence when it comes to a bet that may or may not have happened, but sure does make for a great story illustrating this president that was such the antithesis of the decade he presisded over, the Roaring 20's.

Hopefully it is a reminder to not take everything we see or hear as the truth, and that we use our minds to think it through.
