Melvin Belli
Melvin Mouron Belli (29 July 1907, Sonora, California – 9 July 1996, ) was a prominent American lawyer known as "The King of Torts" and by detractors as 'Melvin Bellicose'. He had many celebrity clients, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Errol Flynn, Chuck Berry, Muhammad Ali, Sirhan Sirhan, Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker, Martha Mitchell, Lana Turner, Tony Curtis, and Mae West.
Belli appeared in numerous films and television shows, frequently as himself, and was played by Brian Cox in the 2007 film Zodiac (Belli received a letter from the Zodiac Killer in 1969).
In perhaps his best-known role, other than as himself, Belli appeared in a 1968 Star Trek episode, "And the Children Shall Lead". In it he played Gorgan, an evil being who corrupted a group of children. (The children turned on him after the bridge monitor at Spock's station showed pictures of their parents' graves.)

Ring a Ring o' Roses
"Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring Around the Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground game. It first appeared in print in 1881; but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s.
The first printing of the rhyme was in Kate Greenaway’s 1881 edition of Mother Goose:
Ring-a-ring-a-roses,
A pocket full of posies;
ashes! ashes!
we all fall down.

Armageddon
:22:54
[ Dan ] So when the Rogue
comet hit the asteroid belt,
it sent shrapnel right for us.
:22:58
For the next 15 days,
the Earth's in a shooting gallery.
:23:01
Even if the asteroid itself
hits the water, it's still hitting land.
:23:05
It'll flash boil millions
of gallons of seawater and slam
into the ocean bedrock.
:23:10
Now, if it's a Pacific Ocean impact--
which we think it will be--
:23:13
it'll create a tidal wave
three miles high,
:23:16
travelling at 1,000 miles an hour
covering California
and washing up in Denver.
:23:20
Japan's gone.
Australia's wiped out.
:23:24
Half the world's population
will be incinerated by the heat blast.
:23:27
The rest'll freeze to death
from nuclear winter.
:23:29
[ Whispering ]
That's unbelievable.
:23:32
Well, actually,
this is as real as it gets.
:23:38
Well, it's coming right now.
:23:41
Right for us at 22,000 miles an hour.
:23:44
Not a soul on Earth can hide from it.
:24:02
I take it you're not
alerting everyone like this.
:24:04
Nobody knows.
:24:07
For the next ten days, there are
only nine telescopes in the world...
:24:10
that can spot the asteroid,
and we control eight of 'em.
:24:13
The president's classified
this information top secret.
:24:16
If news like this got out,
:24:17
there'd be an overnight breakdown
of basic social services worldwide.
:24:21
Rioting, mass religious hysteria,
total chaos, you can imagine.
:24:26
Basically the worst parts of the Bible.

Apollo 7
Launch: October 11, 1968
Landing: October 22, 1968
Apollo 7 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program to be launched. It was an eleven-day earth-orbital mission
Apollo 7 was a confidence-builder. After the January 1967 Apollo launch pad fire, the Apollo command module had been extensively redesigned. Schirra, who would be the only astronaut to fly Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions, commanded this Earth-orbital shakedown of the command and service modules. Since it was not carrying a lunar module, Apollo 7 could be launched with the Saturn IB booster rather than the much larger and more powerful Saturn V. Schirra wanted to give Apollo 7 the callsign "Phoenix" (the mythical bird rising from its own ashes) in memory of the loss of the Apollo 1 crew, but NASA management was against the idea.
The Apollo hardware and all mission operations worked without any significant problems, and the Service Propulsion System (SPS), the all-important engine that would place Apollo in and out of lunar orbit, made eight nearly perfect firings.

Remarks at the Inaugural Balls
January 20th, 1981
Capital Hilton Hotel (8:40 p.m.)
Hello, veterans and your ladies, and thank you for allowing Nancy and me to interrupt your evening here for just a few minutes. [Laughter] Well, it is for only a few minutes, because I understand, on the logistics they've gotten for our schedule tonight, that if we get in and out of each one of the parties in 10 minutes, it will only take us 4 1/2 hours. [Laughter] But this is number one, and in more ways than one.
I've been told that you are honoring here tonight, as well any of us should, our Congressional Medal of Honor winners. And when I think of them, I remember a story I read once, and it was actually a novel, written by James Warner Bella, who used to write those great cavalry-Indian pictures that John Ford and John Wayne would do. [Laughter] He was called the Kipling of America for writing of that great era in American history.
But I remembered in this one story he had troops, a cavalry detachment out, a war party, and so forth. And the commanding officer fell mortally wounded, and he called the next in command over, who was to take over. And the lines I've never forgotten. He said to him as he was dying, "There may be only one time, one moment in your life when you will be called upon to do the nasty thing that has to be done, when you are the only one that can serve your country in that moment." He said, "Do it or the taste will be forever ashes in your mouth."
The men you honor tonight have no taste of ashes in their mouths. And [it is] because there were men and there are men today in this land of ours who are willing to do that thing that only they are in a position to do that we're able to meet as we meet tonight, we're able to have a day in which we continue 200 years of an orderly exchange of leadership and reigns of authority in our Government without military overthrow or force or violence, that we're able to still breathe free. And God help us, that must always remain.

Hey, Mr. Webb.
Can I ask you something?
:04:54
Sure thing. Shoot, Timmy.
:04:56
Danny.
:04:58
When you were my age,
did you ever have trouble...
:05:00
...deciding what you wanted
to do with your life?
:05:04
No, I've never had that problem.
Why?
:05:08
Forget it. I didn't think
you'd understand.
