Tv Review : 'Lace Ii': 2nd Generation Schmaltz
May 04, 1985 HOWARD ROSENBERG Times Television Critic
You might call this a real family story.
Last year's "Lace" solved the identity of Lily's mother. In the two-part "Lace II" (9 p.m. Sunday and Monday on Channels 7, 3, 10 and 42), she seeks the identity of her father. If there is a "Lace III," we'll probably get to her grandparents.

Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Remarks and a Question-and-Answer Session With Students of John A. Holmes High School of Edenton, North Carolina
May 13, 1986
Now, that's all I had to say in terms of prepared remarks. What I really want to do is take your questions. And I understand that Rob Miller will be asking the first question. So, Rob, step up to the microphone, and we'll begin.
Q. Mr. President, my name is Rob Miller, and I expect to attend East Carolina University next fall. Before I start, I'd like to say that I wish you could run for a third term so I could vote for you next time. [Laughter]
The President. Well, thank you very much. They kind of fixed that with the 22d amendment. [Laughter]
Views on the Presidency
Q. My question is: What do you enjoy most about being President of the United States?
The President. Oh, there are so many things, and many things that you don't enjoy, also. I think the greatest is that every once in a while something comes to your attention—maybe it's something you read in the paper about some unfortunate person, or you get a letter that someone managed to get through about some problem that, evidently, there isn't any regular program to solve, and you find that you can solve it. And I know of one case of a baby that had to have a transplant, and we were able to arrange that. And then, just a short time ago, I had the pleasure of seeing that little girl who had been a baby at the time of the transplant, and she came here with her parents to the White House. But it's things like that where you find that being in this position enables you to reach out and touch and get something of that kind done. And you go home feeling 10 feet tall and very happy.

Bucking Horse Throws Reagan; Injuries Minor
July 05, 1989 JILL STEWART Times Staff Writer
Former President Ronald Reagan suffered minor injuries after tenaciously hanging onto, and finally being tossed from, a wildly bucking horse during an Independence Day hunting excursion at a friend's ranch in Mexico, a spokesman said Tuesday.
The 78-year-old Reagan, a riding enthusiast, sustained bruises and scrapes Tuesday morning and was examined by doctors at Raymond W. Bliss Army Community Hospital at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz. They pronounced him "in excellent condition," said spokesman Mark Weinberg in Los Angeles.
"X-rays taken today revealed no serious injuries," Weinberg said. He said Reagan, an experienced rider, was comfortable and in good spirits "and joked that the incident was 'my own private rodeo.' "
Ambassador to Vatican
Reagan was flown to the Ft. Huachuca Army facility by military helicopter from the Mexican state of Sonora, where he was hunting on a large private ranch owned by William Wilson, a wealthy Californian who served under Reagan as the first U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.
"The horse Reagan was riding bucked wildly several times on a rocky downhill slope and eventually stumbled," finally throwing Reagan, Weinberg said. He said Reagan is "an excellent rider and he held on quite a while."
Despite several sore spots, "he's feeling fine, yeah," Weinberg said.
Accompanied by his wife, Nancy, Reagan left the hospital Tuesday afternoon and walked quickly to a waiting Army helicopter, which returned the couple to the ranch where they have been vacationing since Saturday. The Reagans plan to celebrate Nancy Reagan's birthday there Thursday and return to California at the end of the week, Weinberg said.
Capt. Juan Lopez, a U.S. Army doctor who examined Reagan at the hospital, said Reagan declined to stay overnight, as physicians suggested, so the hospital's chief nurse, Lt. Col. Paul Farineau, accompanied the former President back to Mexico.
Lopez said he would visit the ranch today to do a follow-up examination of Reagan.
President Bush, told of Reagan's fall by the Secret Service just before he left for an afternoon of holiday boating near Kennebunkport, Me., released a statement saying that he was "obviously relieved that President Reagan's injuries are minor . . . ." Bush planned to contact Reagan "at an appropriate time," the statement said.
Earlier, Mrs. Reagan, who had awaited the outcome of Reagan's X-rays at Bliss Medical Center, was paid a visit by another well-wisher--June Scobee, widow of Challenger commander Francis R. (Dick) Scobee.
Weinberg said Scobee wished the Reagans well and told Mrs. Reagan how much she appreciated her support and kindness at the time of the 1986 space shuttle disaster that killed her husband and six other crew members.
Tuesday's tumble from a horse was the latest twist in Reagan's longtime passion for horses, which held a place of special prominence during his presidency.
Reagan first took up riding as a young sportscaster in Des Moines, Iowa, in the 1930s and maintained the hobby throughout his political career.
He once said of his love of riding: "There is nothing better for the insides of a man than the outside of a horse."
As President, he would often take an afternoon off to ride at the Marine base in Quantico, Va. He also often traveled to his ranch near Santa Barbara to ride horses and was photographed sitting astride one many times. As a Hollywood actor, he appeared in numerous Westerns, including "Santa Fe Trail," "The Last Outpost" and "Cattle Queen of Montana."
Aides have said that Reagan did much of his thinking about the problems a President might face in the days before his successful 1980 campaign while riding a horse at his ranch.
Lt. Gen. Thurmond D. Rodgers, the ranking officer at Ft. Huachuca, said Reagan told him Tuesday to "make sure people know that I was thrown from the horse. I did not fall."

I remember one time he came down the ladder and dropped onto the floor. Mogge called me over and I checked him out and went back to work. Apparently he had been working in the engine room and was on the verge of heat exhaustion. I had experienced conditions like that myself and could tell from his eyes that he was all right, although I have wondered later if I really should have called a corpsman to look at him. He turned out to be ok though. I remember he also performed the same helo crew role on the Wainwright as I did on the Taylor. He was standing there on deck that day in the Med when our SeaSprite crashed on the deck. Someone joked the Captain and the helo pilot were out there now exchanging insurance cards. There are some photos of the accident on the Wainwright Veteran website. This guy from Chile, I can't remember his name, was telling us about a meeting he had with the Captain, I think it was Chandler. In my memory, he was saying something about getting promoted and that he would be just like me.

Plot Summary for
Without Warning! (1952)
Carl Martin is a morose and deranged Los Angeles gardener, who,in retribution for the infidelity of his unfaithful wife, sets about to kill as many blonde's as he can. From the time the film opens, to the sound of a radio turned up full-blast over the still-warm corpse of a blonde, the audience knows the identity of the killer. The film depicts, with documentary realism as it was shot on location in and around Los Angeles, how the police, using laboratory techniques against the few clues they have, track down Martin. Their key clue is a spring from a pair of garden shears. The police move in just as Martin is about to add Jane Saunders, the daughter of a greenhouse owner, to his long list of victims.

Sleeper agent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sleeper agent is a spy who is placed in a target country or organization, not to undertake an immediate mission, but rather to act as a potential asset if activated
Examples
Otto Kuehn and family were installed in Hawaii by the German Abwehr, before World War II, to work for Japanese intelligence. Kuehn, and his family, aided the Japanese in the period before the Attack on Pearl Harbor. They seem to have been less than effective.
Kim Philby was recruited by the Soviets while at university and may have been a sleeper agent for some years until going to work for the British government. By the end of WWII, he was operating as the liaison between the British Secret Intelligence Service and several U.S. intelligence operations. He was an agent of influence by then, but had not been a sleeper agent for several years.
The so-called Illegals Program is an alleged network of sleeper spies planted in the U.S. by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

In the opening pages of the cruise book is a summary of activity for the ship in previous years and I am referencing the timeframe I was serving onboard. The Wainwright returned 9 July 1988 to Charleston from Persian Gulf deployment. We deployed from Charleston to the Persian Gulf on 11 January 1988. We left for the Mediterranean Sea deployment on 12 October 1989.
Page 67 of the cruise book image has a two-page spread of the USS Wainwright CG-28 Inport Schedule for that Med cruise that began 12 October 1989. There are other listings after Monaco but I have not transcribed them here because Monaco is where I remember leaving the ship to fly back to the United States. So according to that list the ship left Monaco on 04 March 1990. The ship arrived in Monaco on 26 February 1990. I do not recall the day I left the ship but I guess I left on the 28th.
Post update: Something seems wrong with that list. The first listing makes no sense because that is the day the ship deployed. I remember distinctly that Barcelona was our first port call and I remember that because I thought we were going to arrive on the 2nd of November. Not sure of the accuracy of the other listings. Monaco must be accurate, as best I recall, but I don't know.

Page 94 and page 95 of the cruise book indicate that helo crash was December 2, 1989.
There's a candid shot of me on page 106 of the cruise book. Can't really tell what I am doing. My sleeves are rolled up. I think I'm holding a screwdriver. I seem to be about to unbolt a deckplate. There seems to be some words painted on the deck but the photo is too small for me to read it. The caption on the photo reads: "FC2 BURGESS, THIS LOOKS SERIOUS?"
I am thinking about all this because I am trying to regain my mind, I would have been much different at that point. That was several months after July 1989.
Oh, the words on the deck seem to be "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE"
I am kneeling on the deck and holding a tool that isn't a screwdriver but another kind of tool and I cannot recall what that tool is called. Sort of like a Philips head but that isn't it. It's not a flathead. I don't recognize the location. There is some kind of electrical or electronic panel next to me that I don't recognize. I am posing in the photo just as I am holding that tool above the words that indicate the dangerous presence of high voltage. That photo seemed vaguely familiar when I first saw it but nothing else has come to mind.
What I have been thinking lately is that my brother's wife (Why are you wearing the white dress uniform of an enlisted US Navy sailor, Thomas?) told me to play dumb when I returned to the real world. I am wondering if I posed for that photograph for a specific reason, since, presumably, I couldn't talk to anybody about anything.
This is the first time I have ever seen this cruise book, as far as I know. I left the ship before the cruise ended and I don't recall ever getting an actual copy of the book.
William A. Weronko, Commander US Navy, was Executive Officer of USS Wainwright CG 28 since 6 June 1989.
Page 5 indicates that Captain Arthur W. Newlon reported as commanding officer of USS Wainwright CG-28 in April 1989. Page 5 also indicates he was born 7 November 1942.

President Arrives for Malta Summit : Superpowers: Bush lands on U.S. warship, prepares for meetings with Gorbachev this weekend.
December 01, 1989 From Associated Press
MARSAXLOKK BAY, Malta — President Bush urged Mikhail S. Gorbachev on the eve of their superpower summit today to help mold "a future free of both tyranny and fear."
"Our meeting here off Malta will last two days but the freedoms that we seek must last for generations," the President said in anticipation of his first summit session with the Soviet leader.
Bush was the first to arrive for the two days of shipboard summit talks. But his last-minute summit preparations were interrupted by an attempted coup in the Philippines, which he sought to snuff out by committing U.S. air support to forces loyal to President Corazon Aquino.
Gorbachev, who met Pope John Paul II in Rome today, arranged an evening arrival for the summit, taking place against a backdrop of stunning change in Eastern Europe that has swept hard-line regimes from power. The two men are also expected to discuss arms control, trade relations and conflicts such as Afghanistan and Nicaragua as well.
Gray clouds, cold weather and choppy seas set the scene for the talks being conducted on U.S. and Soviet warships anchored in the harbor off the coast of this Mediterranean island. Malta's entire 1,200-man military and most of its 1,000 police were out in force to protect the superpower leaders.
U.S. and Maltese patrol boats circled and frogmen checked the waters as Bush landed by helicopter on the American guided missile cruiser Belknap, his command post and the meeting site Sunday for the summit. The summit will open Saturday morning on the Soviet guided missile cruiser Slava.
During a brief visit to the American aircraft carrier Forrestal, Bush called Gorbachev "a dynamic new Soviet leader willing . . . to think anew."
"And we want him to succeed," the President said. "Because we do admire the people in the Soviet Union. And we know that ours is a historic opportunity to foster the peace." Bush expressed hope that "ours can be a future free of both tyranny and fear."
He presented the Forrestal's crew with a piece of the crumbling Berlin Wall as "a symbol of the peace we seek."
He watched a demonstration of warplanes being catapulted off the deck and screeching into the sky. A thunderous sonic boom from an F-14 caught him by surprise, and Bush's knees buckled and he ducked.

Pretty Woman
First guy I ever loved was a total nothing.
Second was worse.
My mom called me a bum magnet.
If there was a bum within a -mile radius, I was completely attracted to him.
That's how I ended up here. I followed bum number three.
Oh.
So here I was: no money, no friends, no bum.

I was imprisoned in a world...
...in which Ijust did not belong.
Are you sorry?
- Sorry? Sorry for what?
- That you have to stay?
Yes.
I could tell so much
to the people of my time.
I'd let them know...
...about the sorrow and happiness
that the future holds.
Maybe they could learn from it.
Or could they?

Men and women have shown themselves to be very clever at inventing things, right back to the time when they found out how much easier it was to move things about on wheels, up to the present time when rockets and computers make it possible for people to travel away from our world into the mystery of space.
But these technical skills are not enough by themselves. They can only come to the rescue of the planet if we also learn to live by the golden rule which Jesus Christ taught us - "love thy neighbour as thyself".
Many of you will have heard the story of the Good Samaritan, and of how Christ answered the question (from a clever lawyer who was trying to catch him out) "who is my neighbour?".
Jesus told of the traveller who was mugged and left injured on the roadside where several important people saw him, and passed by without stopping to help.
His neighbour was the man who did stop, cared for him, and made sure he was being well looked after before he resumed his own journey.

THE MALTA SUMMIT : Weather Forces Meeting Shift
December 02, 1989 from a Times Staff Writer
VALLETTA, Malta — Gale force winds with gusts to 42 knots forced the first meeting today between President Bush and Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev to be shifted to the Maxim Gorky, a Soviet cruise ship.
The first meeting was to get under way at 10 a.m. Malta time. Ceremonial activities were cancelled.
The next meeting between the two leaders was tentatively scheduled to be held at the Holiday Inn where most of the American staff is staying.

Quotes
Captain Yelland: This is the captain, I am speaking to every man aboard this ship. In the past few hours many things have happened; rumors of nuclear attacks and a third world war are totally untrue. We have no reason to believe that any aggression has been taken against our homes our families. I believe what we stumbled across is not man-made but a phenomena of nature, one that can't be explained. This phenomena is the storm in which the Nimitz went through less than 18 hours ago, the storm has had some effect on time as we know it, it created a portal, a door into another era. Today is December 7, 1941... I'm sure we are all aware of the significance of this date in this place in history. We are going to fight a battle that was lost before most of you were born. This time, with God's help, its going to be different... Good Luck.

"The Final Countdown"
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell ?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown...
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.

Following orders, Commander?
That's right, Senator.
Is Commander Owens in the air yet?
- No, sir. - Let me know the moment he's airborne.
Yes, sir.
Why didn't you go with them?
I wasn't invited.
Skipper, it's time to go.
Then let's go... to Pearl Harbor.
You shoot that in here, we're all going up.
Then you better do what I say. Take off. Now!
Don't let it go off!
- I lost it. I lost the helo! - What?
I tell you, I lost it. It just disappeared from the scope.
What the hell do you mean it just disappeared?
That's it, Captain.
One second it was on the scope, the next it was gone.
