Live your life. Your life.

Captain Rockwell Torrey. How's that for a movie character's name? John Wayne's character in 1965 had a lot to say, and one line, in particular, spoke volumes about World War II and life itself.
In this episode, you'll hear the line and the bigger point, a reality far greater than what's on a screen.
It's about the image we project, the often-contradictory truth of life, and the fact that when it comes down to it, we're all pretty ...
