Fuchida joined the aircraft carrier Akagi in 1939 as a flight commander where he was now an experienced pilot with over 3,000 hours of flight experience. He was the commander of the Japanese attack force during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He then stayed on as the air officer of the Akagi's attack force and personally led air raids against American and other allied bases in New Guinea, Australia, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Fuchida was sidelined during the naval battle of Midway on June 4, 1942 after an sudden attack of appendicitis, where he was wounded when be broke both of his ankles after he fell from a ladder during the fire fighting after the Akagi was hit by U.S. bombers. After spending most of 1942 in a naval hospital, he returned to active duty and was active as a staff air officer and squadron leader until the end of the war in 1945.

I got something!
-It locked! -Yeah. Hold it, hold it.
I still fail to understand.
The Astro Division is autonomous. The man was assigned to us.
-McNeely complicated it. -Fletcher!
I can't say you people have covered yourselves with glory so far.
If she hadn't started shouting, we wouldn't have had to rough her up.
Rough her up?
Is that a euphemism for "assassination"?
She had street informants, and she'd made the connection...
...between our project and the trouble in the streets.
She was going public, on the record.
Who are these other guys?
-They can't hear me. -Shut up anyway!
-This pilot-- -Murphy. Frank Murphy.
Is that under control? I don't want attention.
Blue Thunder might be seen as a threat.
-Drop the hammer on him. -What do you think?
I think, Mr. Holmes, that I should take him out.
You mean kill him?
When?
As soon as possible.
Jesus Christ, Frank!
The boy loves me! You got this on tape?
Every word of it.
Good.

Hideaway (1937)


In the rural community of Uhlerville, bumbling Frankie Peterson enjoys his reputation as the laziest man in town, while his hard-working wife Emma encourages their daughter Joan to avoid marrying a local boy and find work in New York City. After Joan fights with her father and her boyfriend, forester Bill Parker, over her future, three men--John Knox, Eddie Baxter and Al Miller--show up at the Petersons' ramshackled home and ask for lodging. Unknown to Frankie, Knox is actually fugitive bank robber Mike Clark, a former New York bootlegger whose house Frankie claimed after the gangster had abandoned it years before. Anxious to please his paying guests, who are hiding not only from the police but from fellow gangster Norris as well, Frankie throws a welcoming party in their honor and negotiates to have the house painted.

Bart Gets an Elephant

Original airdate in N.A.: 31-Mar-94


Marge chides Homer for wasting time.

Marge: Stop remembering TV and get back to work!

Homer: What's the point of all this cleaning? Are we so vain?!

-- Apparently, yes, "Bart Gets an Elephant"

In her room, Lisa vacuums under the bed. She hears music from outside. Looks as though the Little White Girls have decided to do a tour while they play. Even better, President Clinton follows them, jamming on his saxophone. Moe drives by, scolding, "Hey, Clinton! Get back to work!", to which Bill retorts, "Make me!"

Clinton ends news conference abruptly following challenge

Associated Press

TUE 06/15/1993 HOUSTON CHRONICLE

WASHINGTON -- President Clinton cut short a news conference Monday with his new Supreme Court nominee after expressing exasperation with the first question, which was about his decision-making process.

The question -- unanswered -- was asked by ABC's Brit Hume after Clinton announced his selection of federal appellate Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Hume asked: "The withdrawal of the Guinier nomination, sir, and your apparent focus on Judge Breyer, and your turn, late it seems, to Judge Ginsburg, may have created an impression, perhaps unfair, of a certain zig-zag quality in the decision-making process here. I wonder, sir, if you could kind of walk us through it, perhaps disabuse us of any notion we might have along those lines."

Clinton's testy answer: "I have long since given up the thought that I could disabuse some of you turning any substantive decision into anything but political process. How you could ask a question like that after the statement she just made is beyond me."

There was applause from some members of the Rose Garden audience, which included members of Judge Ginsburg's family, some friends and members of Congress.

Clinton turned and walked away from the podium, refusing to take additional questions, even though many hands were raised.
