What did Nixon really say in Spokane?

As we all know, President Richard Nixon was here in Spokane on this date in 1974 to open the world's fair.

But can you remember what he said down by the river? One of the following is from his Spokane address. See if you can spot it.

A) "I am not a crook." B) "I could have been a contender." C) "Top of the world, Ma." D) "We are not just talking about the environment of Spokane or the state of Washington or of the United States but of this whole globe on which we live." E) "What have you heard about me, Shane?" F) "So this is where the treetops glisten and children listen?"
