"The Twilight Zone" (1959)


Narrator: You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

EAGLES LYRICS

"Life In The Fast Lane"


He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race

Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
to fight about it

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worse

She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine
ring. We've been up and down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway,
messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

There's a pair of A-6s
going to Subic tomorrow.

:22:20
I want you take one
with the doc.

:22:23
I'll put Grafton and maybe
Boxman in the other one.

:22:27
As soon as you get
Jake off the deck,

:22:29
you fly him dizzy,
get him drunk,

:22:31
anything to wind him down
before he goes up in flames.

:22:34
Yeah...

:22:37
All that guy needs is a...

:22:41
strike on the match.

:22:44
All right, now listen, Doc.

:22:46
Don't touch anything.

:22:47
Keep your hands in your lap.

:22:47
Absolutely.

:22:48
The only exception
is if you have to eject.

:22:50
Eject?

:22:51
Now, you got a yellow
and black handle

:22:52
here and one here--
you pull it.

:22:53
The command will be
"eject, eject, eject."

:22:55
Three times, you got it?

:22:56
Yes, "eject, eject, eject."

:22:57
Do I say roger or...
just do it or what?

:23:00
You even say "huh," you'll
be talking to yourself...

:23:03
'cause I'll be gone.

I find myself thinking about this time a long time ago. I may have been in the 4th grade at the time, I don't remember. One of us, maybe me, accidentally made up the fold-out sofa bed with the dog still in it. She stayed in there all day. I came home from school and sat down on the sofa wondering where she was. Then I started hearing her faintly crying out, but I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. This other neighbor kid was sitting on the couch too, we had to have been crushing her. Eventually I realized she was inside the couch and let her out. She jumped out and ran to the water bowl. I can certainly understand how that dog must have felt.

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Remarks at a White House Ceremony Commemorating the Bicentennial Year of Air and Space Flight

February 7, 1983

Welcome to the White House. Today we're gathered to acknowledge the bicentennial of air and space travel. It all started 200 years ago at La Muette, France, with man's first flight in a hot air balloon. Ten years later, President George Washington, along with four future presidents—Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe—witnessed the first successful free flight in America.

Now, even though I had a birthday yesterday, I was not present— [laughter] —at that occasion.

But just how far we've come was brought home to me and to the American people last Fourth of July, when we witnessed the return of the space shuttle, the Columbia, in the California desert. And it still baffles my imagination. They told us to come up on the platform there where we were to witness the landing of that craft and all, and then told us that it was on its approach pattern for the landing just out over Honolulu, and we were at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Today we stand on the edge of a world in which opportunities are limited only by our own imagination. Our leadership in the air and space technology, a leadership we're determined to maintain, has already provided the American people with a rich bounty that has strengthened our economy and bettered our lives.


When it comes to the conquest of space, certainly we have competition from friends and adversaries. Well, we welcome it. I firmly believe that space enterprise will bring mankind closer together, even as we compete. We also benefit from cooperation.

On my recent visit to Latin America, I invited Brazil to join us in the use of a space shuttle, an invitation that included the training of a Brazilian who will accompany their payloads on the shuttle. And when I met with Prime Minister Nakasone a few weeks ago, I extended a similar invitation to the Japanese. Our friends and allies in Europe are already working with us. In a few months, a German astronaut, sponsored by the European Space Agency, will fly on the shuttle in a joint U.S.-European space lab mission. In the future, I would hope that joint space ventures will draw all freedom-loving people closer together.

The space shuttle program is a vital part of this effort. To ensure the full potential, I've recently decided that we'll keep the shuttle production lines intact, in order to continue the operation of the shuttle fleet in the most robust manner possible. By doing this, we also preserve the option of building the fifth shuttle to capitalize on the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead.


You know, I have to tell you a little personal experience here. I was Governor of California back in the riotous days of the sixties. And I couldn't go to a college football game. There'd be a riot instead. [Laughter] Anyone in authority was in the same position. But I remember one day when a group of the leaders of that came from the campuses of the University of California to Sacramento. They had demanded a meeting with me. Well, I was delighted because, as I say, I couldn't go and meet with them.

So, they came in and, as was the custom of the day of that particular group of young people, they were barefoot, and torn T-shirts, and slouched in their chairs. And finally one of them who was the spokesman said to me, "Governor, it's impossible for you to understand us." And I tried to pass it off. I said, "Well, we know more about being young than we do about being old." And he said, "No, your generation cannot understand their own sons and daughters." He said, "You didn't grow up in an era of space travel, of jet travel, of cybernetics, computers figuring in seconds what it used to take men years to figure out." And he went on like that. And usually you only think of the answer after you're gone, but the Lord was good to me. And he talked long enough that I finally interrupted him, and I said, "Wait a minute. It's true what you said. We didn't grow' up, my generation, with those things. We invented them." [Laughter and applause]

Thank you.

Now, I understand I'm supposed to go over there after I say some hellos up here I want to say. But don't think I'm going to get in that thing. I'm from the horse cavalry. [Laughter]

Note: The President spoke at 1:15 p.m. in the East Room to a group of leading figures in aviation, government, diplomacy, the military, and business. There was a large model of the space shuttle Columbia off to the side of the podium, and following his remarks, the President, escorted by Apollo 7 astronaut Michael Collins, inspected the model.

Following the President's remarks, Senator Charles McC. Mathias, Jr., chairman of the bicentennial committee, presented Walter J. Boyne, Acting Director of the National Air and Space Museum, with the Air and Space Bicentennial symbol which flew in space with the Columbia shuttle mission in November 1982. The logo, signed by all four astronauts, was the subject of the first televised commercial from space when mission commander Vance Brand displayed it for television and briefly told the bicentennial story. The logo will be part of the Museum's space collection.
