Funny story about Taft. As you may know, he was quite portly, weighing about 300 pounds. After he left the presidency and before he was appointed to SCOTUS, he was appointed to a chair in the law school at good old Yale (where I got my MBA a couple of blocks up Prospect Street). He quipped, "Instead of a chair of law, I should be given a sofa of law." LOL!
