Diane Hayden: When I was detained in '31 for marching in an InVitro rights rally, the bars were still quaintly made out of iron. I guess no matter what material they are made from, there will always be bars.
McQueen: And loyalty tests.

Diane Hayden: These are strange days, Colonel. There are a lot of scared people. And I must admit, with good reason. And there are a lot of paranoid people with no good reason. They believe what they feel. To patronize them is a serious miscalculation. To ignore them, to hope that they will go away is... very dangerous.
US Marine Corps Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: So you stand up to them.
Diane Hayden: At the right time. And you can't let them know you're doing it.
US Marine Corps Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: I won't take the test.
Diane Hayden: Of course not. No one should have to. And when I'm elected, no one will. But to get elected -
US Marine Corps Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: If you make a fuss about releasing me or the Tanks on planet you risk losing something you want.
Diane Hayden: Something *we* want.
US Marine Corps Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: I notice you're on the other side of the bars.

Just read the file, Mr Anderson. I can do without the cabaret.
- You don't like me much, do you, boss? - Sure I like you.
I just don't share your sense of humour.
Sometimes that's all you got left.
- How long you been in the Bureau? - Three years.
- Right outta college, huh? - No. From the Justice Department.
Kennedy boy. Now I see.
No. I don't think you do see.
Let's get this thing straight.
I haven't had a pimple in years. I shave every morning.
I even go to the bathroom by myself. So you can quit this "boss" stuff.
I'm in charge because I've been through this before.
- Birmingham? Montgomery? - Oxford. I was with Meredith at Old Miss.
Oh. You got hit in the head with a brick, so they gave you a promotion.
No. Shot in the shoulder.
- Well, at least you lived. That's important. - Meredith lived. That's what's important.

In June, the first launch of an advanced Pegasus XL from the L-1011 Stargazer carrier plane ended in failure; the cause has been identified as aerodynamic problems due to faulty hydro simulations (no wind tunnel testing was done).

"*Stargazer* is a specially modified Lockheed Martin L-1011 TriStar jumbo jet that's based at Meadows Field in Bakersfield," stated Jim Spellman, executive director for the National Space Society's Western Spaceport Chapter in Kern, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo county.
"It was named by OSC team members in honor of the first 'starship' commanded by fictional character Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the *Star Trek: The Next Generation* television series," Spellman added. The aircraft serves as the "first stage" by carrying the Pegasus XL rocket up to its 40,000 foot release point over the Pacific Ocean near Vandenberg AFB in Santa Barbara county.
"Upon release from *Stargazer* and a five-second freefall, the Pegasus XL's solid propellant rocket ignites

General of the Armies
General of the Armies and General of the Armies of the United States are the highest possible ranks in the United States Army.
After World War II, which saw the introduction of U.S. "5-star" officers who outranked Washington, both Congress and the President revisited the issue of Washington's rank. To maintain George Washington's proper position as the first Commanding General of the United States Army, he was appointed, posthumously, to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 January 19, 1976, approved by President Gerald R. Ford on October 11, 1976. The law established the grade as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present,"clearly making it superior to General of the Army. The Department of the Army Order 31-3, issued on March 13, 1978 had an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976. The rank ensures that no United States military officer outranks George Washington
