(John) Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, was nicknamed "Silent Cal." According to legend, his wife once made him a bet that she could get him to say more than 3 words in one hour. The only 2 words he said were "you lose." But legends aside, the truth about Calvin Coolidge is much more nuanced. While it is true he was taciturn and not the sort who enjoyed making small talk with strangers, he actually spoke quite a bit and was a very effective politician. He also embraced the new medium of radio, giving speeches on the air, and even joking about his nasal on-air voice.
