The Magnificent Seven
“I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here. Maybe I’ll have another five years. Maybe with the advances in oncology, they’ll find new treatments for my cancer that will extend my life. Maybe I’ll be gone before you hear this. My predicament is, well, rather unpredictable.”
— Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), in the audio recording of his new book, The Restless Wave.
