The Stand - The Complete & Uncut Edition
Chapter 17
The Sipe Springs situation wasn’t important because it wasn’t unique. They’d had their chance at unique in Arnette—well, maybe—and flubbed it. What was important was that the “situation” was finally going to see print on something besides yellow military flimsy; was, anyway, unless Starkey took steps. He hadn’t decided whether to do that or not. But when the tinny voice stopped talking, Starkey realized that he had made the decision after all. He had perhaps made it as long as twenty years ago.

If I was becoming The Microsoft Candidate, which to me felt more like being Borg'd just like Jean-Luc Picard, then everybody already knew these details about me. And my complaints are going to resonate with a lot of people in the company if Microsoft acknowledges that Kirk Tavener's actions were the worst form of sexual harassment possible and was essentially a form of extortion. I suspect management is doing that a lot at Microsoft and what Kirk Tavener did to me is just the tip of the iceburg.
Yesterday, I started thinking that maybe no one is going to just give me the explanation I have been waiting on. Instead, what I think is going to happen is someone is going to hand me a set of keys and say "Here you go. One shiny, pre-owned Microsoft. Have fun." I just wonder if Bill Gates is a smoker and if so, whether I will be able to get that smoky smell out of it before I take it for a drive.

Senna Threatens To Run Away With Grand Prix
March 10, 1991 By Robert Markus, Chicago Tribune.
PHOENIX — He doesn`t wear black, nor does he wear a perpetual scowl. But Ayrton Senna is every bit ``the Intimidator`` in Formula One racing that Dale Earnhardt is in Winston Cup.
It was not so much that Senna won the pole Saturday for Sunday`s U.S. Grand Prix that cast such an ominous pall over the other contenders for the world championship.
After all, it was the 53rd pole of the Brazilian`s meteoric career, 20 more than any other driver in history. But it came at the outset of a year when the rest of the field felt the domination of Senna`s McLaren-Honda team just might be ending.
And it came when McLaren`s new chassis and Honda V12 engine were virtually untested.
``The two cars our drivers drove yesterday had never turned a wheel before,`` said team manager Ron Dennis. ``There was not one glitch. What we`ve got, I think, is a car we can win the world championship with.
Senna is defending champion, though the course has been altered, making it shorter and faster. He always has done well in the U.S. Grand Prix, no matter where, winning four of the last five and never failing to win a race in which his car finished.
He has raced this weekend with a heavy cold, but that isn`t going to stop him, he vows.
The big question now is: If that won`t stop him, what-or who-will?

Senna-prost Feud Goes Beyond Race Track
March 09, 1991 By Robert Markus, Chicago Tribune.
PHOENIX — And so begins another year of living dangerously for two of the most bitter adversaries in modern sports history. Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis are the best of friends compared with race drivers Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.
``People are much less interested in seeing the technology and in all the talented people working on the car. What we are showing the people is not right. Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost are not the only two drivers in Formula One.``
But in five of the last six seasons, one of them has emerged as champion. The problem began, recalls Prost, in a small way when the two were teammates at McLaren in 1988. Even though Senna won his first world championship that year, Prost was a close second and ``I was quite happy. Any problems I had at that time were not with Ayrton but with the team. I remember I was testing in Brazil and Monza that year and I was going to test for three days. After one day, Senna came in and they gave him the car.``

U.S., Russian Spacecraft Go Separate Ways : Docking: Shuttle Atlantis ends historic 5-day linkup with space station. It leaves with three crewmen who have been in orbit since mid-March.
July 05, 1995 from Associated Press
HOUSTON — Astronauts and cosmonauts watched their ships part and fade into the blackness of space Tuesday in an orbital pirouette that ended five days of flying as a single craft.
"We're just shaking our heads at how quickly this has all gone by," said Charles Precourt, pilot of the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis. "It's as if it were a dream, that we didn't really live it

Iraq reconstruction funds missing
Almost $9bn (£4.7bn) of Iraqi oil revenue is missing from a fund set up to reconstruct the country.
The BBC's File On 4 programme has learnt that out of over $20bn raised in oil revenues during US-led rule, the use of $8.8bn is unaccounted for.
US government auditors criticise the Coalition Provisional Authority for failing to manage the money properly.
In one case, auditors say the key to a safe holding millions of dollars was kept in an open backpack in an office.

The Iraq War: How We Spent $800 Billion (and Counting)
March 18, 2013, 1:36 pm ET by Sarah Childress Evan Wexler and Bill Rockwood
The Iraq war cost twice as much as the war in Afghanistan, and more than 16 times as much as the Bush administration predicted. But what did we pay for?
In Iraq, the U.S. spent billions fighting, but also rebuilding after the invasion and years of sanctions left the country in shambles, a reconstruction project beset by poor oversight and waste, according to an inspector general report.
There have also been costs at home: caring for the estimated 1.5 million men and women who served in Iraq, and in particular, supporting the families of the 4,422 who died, and repairing the 31,926 who came back wounded.
And then there’s the money that was wasted. A government report to be released Wednesday estimates as much as $60 billion was squandered collectively on fraud and corruption in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Other costs can’t be fully tallied. Economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes estimated that the Iraq war could end up costing the U.S. as much as $3 trillion — a figure they’ve since said may be too low. Their calculation, which some have criticized for being too hypothetical, takes into account less tangible costs: resources the U.S. could have spent in Afghanistan without the distraction of a second invasion; the rising price of oil, which they attribute to the conflict; and the addition to the federal debt when the government cut taxes before going to war.
Other future expenses are all but certain to add to the bottom line. How much will we pay to care for the war’s veterans in the decades to come? The U.S. State Department spent $3 billion in 2012 on its post-war mission in the new Iraq — how much more will it spend in the years ahead? And how many political and security costs can’t yet be foreseen?

Plot Summary
After philosophy Professor Todhunter is told he has 6 months left to live, he is barred from teaching by his college so there won't be a scandal if he drops dead in class. Discussing a hypothetical man with 6 months to live with a group of friends, Todhunter asks each what he'd do in his last 6 months. One says he'd commit a "social murder" kill someone who is not a criminal but without whom society would be better off. The professor obsesses on the idea and actually comes across a situation involving two of his friends where he thinks it would be a good idea to act on his obsession.

He’ll have you on the carpet and he’ll chew your ass to a bloody rag, but you just stand there and yessir him and take it. We’ve salvaged what we can. It’s enough. I’m convinced it’s enough.”
“If so, this country ought to get down on its knees to you.”
“The throttle burned my hand, but I… I held it as long as I could, Len. I held it.” He spoke with quiet vehemence, but his eyes wandered back to the monitor, and for a moment his mouth quivered infirmly. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Well… we go back a country mile or three, Billy, don’t we?”
“You can say that again, soldier.

'Master of Their Skies'
In 1991, Marine pilot Russell Sanborn was a POW in Iraq. Beaten and starved then, he returned last year for combat and 'closure.'
April 20, 2004 Kevin Sack Times Staff Writer
CHERRY POINT, N.C. — Flying 20,000 feet over Baghdad last year, Marine Corps pilot Lt. Col. Russell A.C. Sanborn spotted the landmark he had been imagining for more than 12 years.
Using coordinates he had jotted on a scrap of paper and stored in a flight suit pocket, Sanborn guided his AV-8B Harrier attack jet over the Rashid prison in the heart of the smoldering city. With the help of a high-powered targeting scope, he was able to identify the contours of the compound on a screen in his cockpit.
"There is home, sweet home," he radioed to his wingman.
In the 1991 Persian Gulf War, as a newly promoted captain, Sanborn had been shot down in his single-seat plane over the Iraqi-occupied Kuwaiti desert. With the uncontrollable jet hurtling inverted toward the sand, he ejected safely but was quickly captured by Iraqi troops. For 26 days, he was held in a small, dank and unsanitary cell and tortured viciously by his captors.
After his liberation, his body withered from dysentery, his eardrums burst from the beatings, Sanborn could have retired to nurse his wounds and accept the gratitude of his country.
Instead, he returned to flying the Harrier -- statistically the military's most dangerous plane -- six weeks after he walked out of Rashid. He hasn't stopped since.
When U.S. troops were sent to Iraq last year, Sanborn went without hesitation. He had risen to become the second in command of his squadron, managing 16 planes and 250 Marines. His squadron is scheduled to return to Iraq early next year for a one-year rotation, with Sanborn as commanding officer. "Looks like I'll get a third try to get it right," he said.
Before Sanborn left for Iraq last year, his 10-year-old son, Jacob, one of five towheaded children he fathered between wars, offered parting advice: "Dad," he said, "this time, fly higher, fly faster."
Sanborn did just that and completed 19 missions without incident, primarily bombing Iraqi tanks and artillery positions. He did not fulfill his quiet wish to destroy the prison where he had been beaten and starved. But just streaking over the site, free from any Iraqi threat, provided a certain satisfaction.
"I was in charge again, flying at will over the country that imprisoned me and thumped me for 26 days," Sanborn, 41, said in an interview at the Marine Corps Air Station here, his first since the end of the air war. "Now I was the master of their skies, free to come and go as I pleased and return to my ship when I wanted. After that flight, I felt like I had some closure on the whole event."
That is an interesting observation for Sanborn, because he and those who know him say his imprisonment left remarkably few psychological scars -- a single nightmare, an occasional moment of reflection, but little more. It was only one month of his life, he said, ultimately no more traumatic than a few bad weeks at the office. He said he never once considered early retirement.
"This was just an unfortunate thing that happened to me," Sanborn said, "but, OK, it happened to me. I get paid to be in the military and fly jets in combat. Other people, their job is to shoot me down, and my job is to not let them shoot me down. But when something like that happens, it's not going to be the life-changing event that drives the rest of my life."

It was Feb. 9, 1991, on his 17th mission of the Gulf War, that Sanborn became one of 21 Americans taken prisoner during the conflict. Flying at only 10,000 feet as he climbed out of a bombing run, he never saw the heat-seeking missile that locked in on his plane's white-hot exhaust, a feature that made the Harrier unusually vulnerable to enemy fire.
As the missile slammed through a wing, warning lights flashed in Sanborn's cockpit and the plane began to spin. He pulled the ejection handle and shot through the shattering canopy, losing consciousness for a moment under an orange-and-white parachute that carried him safely to the ground.
It was late afternoon, and Sanborn hoped he might escape detection until nightfall. He tried without success to make radio contact, and chambered one of his 15 rounds in a 9-millimeter handgun. Within minutes, he spotted about a dozen Iraqi troops moving his way on foot, fanning out around him in an ever-tightening horseshoe.
"I knew that in about 15 minutes I was going to get captured," Sanborn said. "There was no place to run. I mean, it's wide-open desert. So I was just trying to work the radio, and they just literally walked right up to me." It would be four weeks before the Americans knew whether Sanborn had made it out of his plane alive.
Sanborn's captors, disheveled and jittery after three weeks of allied bombing, walked him to a primitive underground bunker. Soon after, a soldier ripped the nametag off Sanborn's flight suit and confronted him in broken English. "I'm the guy that shot you down," the man said, according to Sanborn. "I've got two of you now."
The beatings began that night. Blindfolded, with his hands tied and a blanket draped over his head, Sanborn was run through a gantlet of chanting, screeching Iraqis who kicked him and beat him with rifle butts, he said. They shoved him into a room and propped him on a bench.
"All of a sudden, they opened up the door and there was this crazy man, and I mean he wanted in bad after me," Sanborn said. "They were keeping him back. And finally one of the guys says, 'You killed this man's brother, so we're going to let him kill you.' And they just let him loose. He threw me off the bench and just started kicking and wailing."
Barely lucid, Sanborn would be beaten twice more that night. Two days later, he was moved to Rashid, where his cell was illuminated by a single bulb and equipped with a foam pad, a worn blanket and a bucket.
Sanborn said he was denied medical care and was not allowed to bathe or brush his teeth. He was served a thin gruel, and on one occasion a bowl of fatty water flavored with a bone. "I was vomiting and having diarrhea every night, just living in my own filth," he said. His weight dropped from 160 pounds to 145.
At night, speaking in a whisper, Sanborn griped to British prisoners who were living in slightly better conditions in a nearby cell. "You colonists are always complaining about something," one of them responded, "either the taxes or the food." It made him laugh.
Sanborn said his guards slapped him around regularly. But the most severe abuse came during a series of interrogations. "They wanted to know a lot about tactical stuff -- what can your airplane do, where are you based out of?" he said. "I'd say, 'I don't know.' They'd say, 'No, no, you're lying.' And then the big gorilla behind you would just cold-cock you."
In survival courses, Sanborn had been trained to devise strategies for frustrating his questioners. "You want the information to be disjointed, incoherent, useless, rabbit holes," he said. He knew there would be reprisals for unsatisfying answers, but he also learned that if he could absorb three beatings the Iraqis typically would tire of the game and toss him back in his cell.
When the war ended, Sanborn and other prisoners were handed over to the Red Cross and flown to a Navy hospital ship before being transported home aboard Air Force Two, the vice president's plane. "The first thing I asked for on that hospital ship was a teeth cleaning," Sanborn said. "My own breath was knocking me down."
Sanborn's parents discovered he was alive when they spotted his face during a CNN report about the freed prisoners. His wife, Linda, got the word from a Marine Corps assistance officer who showed up at the factory where she worked. As she took the long walk through the plant to meet the officer, she could feel the stares of co-workers who knew she was about to learn whether her husband was dead or alive.

April 20, 2004 Kevin Sack Times Staff Writer
As the executive officer of his squadron, there was never much question that Sanborn would go. "What kind of Marine," he asked, "would want to say, 'Hey, look, I've already had a bad experience and prefer not to do it again?' Marines don't get to pick and choose their missions."
Sanborn is one of 17 Gulf War POWs who charged in a 2002 lawsuit against the Iraqi government that they had been tortured in violation of the Geneva Convention. A federal district judge ruled last summer that the ex-POWs should receive nearly $1 billion in compensatory and punitive damages, taken from Iraqi assets frozen in U.S. accounts.
The Bush administration so far has blocked the payments, saying the money is needed to help rebuild Iraq. Sanborn said he understood the White House's position but was disappointed by it.
Sanborn said he worked hard to not make last year's war a personal one. It was, he told himself, about the U.S. government's interests in Iraq, not his own interest in evening the score. That said, he admits to taking particular pleasure in watching the footage of Saddam Hussein's capture and seeing that his living conditions were not far removed from those in Rashid.
Each of the last 13 years, Linda Sanborn has marked Feb. 9 by giving her husband a gift, something to bring joy to an unhappy anniversary. Russell Sanborn usually does not even notice the date until his wife reminds him. But virtually every day since he walked out of prison, he has remembered that life can change in a flash.
"The best thing it's done for me," he said, "is just that it's sharpened my focus on life and given me a great perspective that, hey, every day counts now."

REMARKS: OPERATION DESERT STORM
SYNOPSIS: The Harrier, or AV-8B, is a fighter-bomber notable for its ability to make vertical takeoffs by directing thrust from its engines downward. The peacetime favorite at airshows is used extensively by the U.S. Marines in Operation Desert Storm. Three Harrier units had been shipped to the Gulf by mid-February: VMA 231, VMA 331, and VMA 542. All three are from the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry Point, North Carolina.
Capt. Russell A.C. Sanborn is a Harrier pilot serving in the Persian Gulf. On February 9, 1991, his aircraft was shot down over southern Kuwait during a combat mission. Sanborn's identity was not released for 72 hours during which time search and rescue efforts were ongoing.
On March 6, 1991, Russell Sanborn was released in a group of 15 Americans by the Iraqis. The group apparently had been held at Basra in an intelligence complex. The U.S. had not released any further information on Sanborn since the time he was shot down.

Former POW to depart Afghanistan for senior post in US European command
5/16/2011 By Cpl. Samantha H. Arrington, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Fwd)
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan
A senior leader of Marines in southwestern Afghanistan has been selected for promotion to brigadier general, and will soon depart Camp Leatherneck for duties at the U.S. European Command.
Col. Russell A.C. Sanborn, the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) assistant wing commander, is slated to leave Afghanistan in mid-May for Stuttgart, Germany, to become the U.S European Command’s deputy operations officer.
“I didn’t know when I deployed out here that I would be leaving a couple months in. I’m excited to go, but it’s kind of bittersweet,” said Sanborn, a native of DeLand, Fla. “I love being in the fight out here because this is where the action is.”
The mission of the U.S. European Command is to plan, organize and oversee all U.S military exercises and operations in Europe.
“You might hear on the news that the United States is going to do an exercise in the Mediterranean with American and Italian ships,” said Sanborn. “EUCOM will organize that. We will work out tactics and procedures to figure out what capabilities the nations have to help the forces work together. We do the training so if we ever have to do it for real, we have the experience.”
Sanborn, an AV-8B Harrier pilot, was commissioned as an officer in the Marine Corps in May 1986, following his graduation from the University of Florida. Yet Sanborn said he didn’t plan on more than two decades of military service when his career began.
“I’ve been in 25 years, but I originally came in to do five,” said Sanborn. “That was my obligation to the Corps and that’s all I planned on doing. I love it though.
“I would love to get a map of the world and put a push pin in all of the different places I’ve spent the night,” said Sanborn. “When someone asks if I’ve been to Italy, Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan or Japan, I can say yes to all of those, and I love that.”
During his deployment to Afghanistan, Sanborn’s wife of more than two decades and five children remained in eastern North Carolina, but he said they will travel with him to Stuttgart for his tour there.
“They are always excited to move and make new friends and learn new things,” said Sanborn. “They know what it’s like to be the new kid, and they embrace it.”
Sanborn has accumulated more than 2,400 flight hours in the Harrier and deployed multiple times, including to the first Gulf War. On Feb. 9, 1991, while serving as a pilot in the Gulf War, Sanborn’s aircraft was shot down over southern Kuwait by a surface-to-air missile during a combat mission. He was captured and held as a prisoner of war until his release on March 6, 1991.His personal decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Strike Flight Award with Combat V, and the Combat Action Ribbon.
“I’m an operational kind of guy, and I love flying and being deployable,” said Sanborn. “Now I’m moving on to a non-deployable job. I won’t be flying as much anymore, and I won’t be around as many Marines. I’m going to miss it.”
With Sanborn preparing to depart Afghanistan, another AV-8B Harrier pilot, Col. Ben D. Hancock, is slated to replace him as the assistant wing commander. Hancock currently serves as the wing’s chief of staff.
“Col. Hancock is replacing me and I’m a big fan of his. I’ve known him since he was a captain,” said Sanborn, whose call sign is Bart. “We served together in Desert Storm back in 1991

Far From Battlefield, Marines Lose One-Third of Harrier Fleet
The corps, pursuing its long-held dream of a unique flying force, pays a heavy price: 45 of its elite officers killed.

PART I: "THE WIDOW-MAKER"
YUMA, Ariz. -- Though many had died flying the Harrier, Marine Corps pilot Peter E. Young never thought it would let him down.
He knew the attack jet well and was devoted to it. In the entire U.S. arsenal, only the compact, muscular-looking Harrier could lift straight up off a runway, hover like a hummingbird, then blast off in search of targets.
"Difficult but honest" is how Young described it.
But on a clear spring day in 1998, the Harrier would betray him. At 14,500 feet over the Southern California desert, the plane's engine quit. Young twice tried to restart it. No response.
"I'm losing control of this thing," Yount radioed to his wingman in a firm voice. "I've got zero hydraulics. I've got nothing. I'm getting out of this thing. Get out of my way!"
He veered the aircraft away from farmhouses and highways in the Imperial Valley below, then pulled the ejection handle. And there, at 7,500 feet, the Harrier failed him again.
As Young shot out of the cockpit, his seat rotated out of position. When his parachute unfurled above him, its harness straps smacked violently against his helmet, whipsawing his head. The 42-year-old lieutenant colonel and father of two young girls died instantly of a broken neck.
For the Marines, the ensuing rituals were painfully familiar. Notify the widow. Remove the wreckage. Investigate the causes.
They know this drill all too well because the Harrier is the most dangerous airplane flying in the U.S. military today.
The Marine Corps initially sold the Harrier to Congress and the Pentagon for its ability to launch from a clearing as small as a tennis court, or a damaged runway near a remote battlefield, and then roar to the rescue of troops in trouble.
In 31 years of flight, however, the Harrier's vaunted ability to take off vertically has never been used in combat -- only in training exercises, air shows and the 1994 film "True Lies," when Arnold Schwarzenegger commandeers a Harrier to save Miami from a terrorist attack.
Instead, the planes have used their powerful thrusters for short, rolling takeoffs from runways and Navy assault ships, mostly flying missions that could have been handled by safer, more conventional aircraft.
Many of the Harrier's ailments can be traced directly to its innovative vertical-thrust technology. But despite the investment of tax dollars, aircraft and pilots' lives, there is little evidence that the Harrier's noncombat deaths have been redeemed in any significant way on the battlefield.
"If the Harrier had been decisive many times in battle, we would all still regret horribly the tragedies of the pilots who have been killed, but at least you'd be able to say that the Harrier made a difference," said Philip E. Coyle, the Pentagon's chief weapons tester from 1994 to 2001.
"What makes this situation so difficult is that we just don't have that kind of battlefield record to support the accidental deaths."
In the Persian Gulf War in 1991, the hot thrust-producing nozzles in the heart of the fuselage -- the devices that allow the Harrier to rise and balance in the air -- made the plane a magnet for heat-seeking missiles. Its loss rate was more than double that of the war's other leading U.S. combat jets. Five Harriers were shot down and two pilots died.

December 15, 2002, Part 1
As the military's smallest branch, the Marines have long feared their air wing would be absorbed by the Navy or that the corps itself would be folded into the Army. In waging the political battle to remain a self-sufficient fighting force, they have sought over the years to make their combat role distinctive.
The Marine Corps' generals are painfully aware of the Harrier's shortcomings. Many can rattle off the names of pilots they have buried. But they say that accidents are the price of technological progress, and that the Harrier has proven its value in combat while paving the way for a superior successor.

Far From Battlefield, Marines Lose One-Third of Harrier Fleet
The corps, persuing its long-held dream of a unique flying force, pays a heavy price: 45 of its elite officers killed
December 15, 2002 Alan C. Miller and Kevin Sack Times Staff Writers
YUMA, Ariz. — Though many had died flying the Harrier, Marine Corps pilot Peter E. Yount never thought it would let him down.
He knew the attack jet well and was devoted to it. In the entire U.S. arsenal, only the compact, muscular-looking Harrier could lift straight up off a runway, hover like a hummingbird, then blast off in search of targets.
"Difficult but honest" is how Yount described it.
But on a clear spring day in 1998, the Harrier would betray him. At 14,500 feet over the Southern California desert, the plane's engine quit. Yount twice tried to restart it. No response.
"I'm losing control of this thing," Yount radioed to his wingman in a firm voice. "I've got zero hydraulics. I've got nothing. I'm getting out of this thing. Get out of my way!"

Far From Battlefield, Marines Lose One-Third of Harrier Fleet
The corps, persuing its long-held dream of a unique flying force, pays a heavy price: 45 of its elite officers killed
December 15, 2002 Alan C. Miller and Kevin Sack Times Staff Writers
The Marine Corps initially sold the Harrier to Congress and the Pentagon for its ability to launch from a clearing as small as a tennis court, or a damaged runway near a remote battlefield, and then roar to the rescue of troops in trouble.
In 31 years of flight, however, the Harrier's vaunted ability to take off vertically has never been used in combat -- only in training exercises, air shows and the 1994 film "True Lies," when Arnold Schwarzenegger commandeers a Harrier to save Miami from a terrorist attack.
Instead, the planes have used their powerful thrusters for short, rolling takeoffs from runways and Navy assault ships, mostly flying missions that could have been handled by safer, more conventional aircraft.
Many of the Harrier's ailments can be traced directly to its innovative vertical-thrust technology. But despite the investment of tax dollars, aircraft and pilots' lives, there is little evidence that the Harrier's noncombat deaths have been redeemed in any significant way on the battlefield.

Far From Battlefield, Marines Lose One-Third of Harrier Fleet
THE VERTICAL VISION
The corps, persuing its long-held dream of a unique flying force, pays a heavy price: 45 of its elite officers killed
December 15, 2002 Alan C. Miller and Kevin Sack Times Staff Writers
The Marines got their first jump jets in 1971. Over the ensuing 31 years, the corps received 397 Harriers, first from Hawker Siddeley Aviation Ltd. and British Aerospace Inc., and then from McDonnell Douglas Corp., lead contractor on the second version of the plane.
The Marines now have 154 Harriers. The plane is no longer in production but is scheduled to remain in service another 13 to 17 years.
Despite its early billing, the Harrier turned out to have a crippling flaw: It crashed at an alarming rate.
Other military planes have killed more pilots because there are more of them, and they log more hours in the air. But by the accepted standard of U.S. military aviation safety -- major accidents per 100,000 flight hours -- the Harrier has no peer among active planes today.
Major accidents are known in the military as Class A mishaps if they cause death, permanent injury or at least $1 million in losses (the dollar figure has increased over time).
The Class A mishap rate for the first model of the Harrier, the AV-8A, was astronomical -- 31.77 accidents per 100,000 hours. Notoriously unstable, it had a propensity for rolling over and slamming into the ground. Well over half were lost to accidents. One tragedy-scarred squadron dubbed the plane "the Widow-Maker."

Security Extra Tight for Shuttle Launch
January 15, 2003 From Reuters
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Security for Thursday's launch of the space shuttle Columbia, carrying the first Israeli astronaut, is so tight that even the Israelis say they have seen nothing like it.
When Columbia lifts off -- the exact time has yet to be announced for security reasons -- the Kennedy Space Center is expected to be as well defended as many nations, with warships, fighter jets and combat helicopters patrolling the air and sea in a 35-mile perimeter around the ocean-side launchpad.
Black-uniformed commandos guard the seven astronauts, who will see few people except space officials and their own families until liftoff.
Israeli air force Col. Ilan Ramon and six U.S. astronauts, led by shuttle commander Rick Husband, are to spend 16 days in orbit doing around-the-clock science aboard the orbiter.
High alert has become routine for shuttle missions and NASA said the forces marshaled for this launch are typical of those seen since the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
But for this liftoff, even nearby Cocoa Beach has come under highly visible security, with added police patrols, car searches and even police on horseback capable of chasing suspects across the sandy beaches.
"We were quite surprised about the very strict security," said Aby Har-Evan, director general of the Israeli Space Agency, on hand for the launch. "I cannot compare it with anything else. I know that in Israel we also have problems [but] we don't have security restrictions like here."
Har-Evan told reporters that when he left his hotel for dinner Monday he found himself followed by two policemen. "I am not used to this," he said. "It was very impressive."
A space shuttle fully loaded with fuel could explode with the impact of a small nuclear bomb, but security experts say that it is highly unlikely.
Even small single-engine aircraft that accidentally wander into the no-fly zone around the Cape are intercepted by F-15s.
But Dave Saleeba, head of NASA security and a former Secret Service official charged with guarding the president, said that security outside the Kennedy Space Center could be the Achilles' heel in the protection plan.
Anyone setting off a bomb in a hotel or on one of the bridges in the area could have the effect of ratcheting up security at the space center to such levels that the shuttle would have to be grounded.
NASA says the added security has been purely precautionary. Saleeba said that no credible threat against the shuttle has developed, but under the circumstances, "we're dealing with the belligerent drunks more seriously than we used to."

He veered the aircraft away from farmhouses and highways in the Imperial Valley below, then pulled the ejection handle. And there, at 7,500 feet, the Harrier failed him again.
As Yount shot out of the cockpit, his seat rotated out of position. When his parachute unfurled above him, its harness straps smacked violently against his helmet, whipsawing his head. The 42-year-old lieutenant colonel and father of two young girls died instantly of a broken neck.
For the Marines, the ensuing rituals were painfully familiar. Notify the widow. Remove the wreckage. Investigate the causes.

Space Images Appear to Back Theory
The Nation
January 31, 2003 From Reuters
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Video cameras aboard the space shuttle Columbia captured an image over Brazil that scientists said Thursday proved a scientific theory about how a major fire on Earth can alter global climate.
The picture shows a large plume of smoke rising from a fire in the rain forest on a cloudy day in the Amazon Basin. Israeli scientist Joachim Joseph said the picture demonstrated the scientific theory that smoke dissipates cloud cover in its vicinity, allowing more sunlight to enter.
"We just made one pass over the jungle and, lo and behold, we get textbook confirmation of a hypothesis," Joseph said.
The image is one of hundreds captured by Israeli cameras during the shuttle's 16-day science mission scheduled to end Saturday.
More than 80 experiments are nearing completion by a seven-member crew including Israel's first astronaut, air force Col. Ilan Ramon.
Joseph said the rain forest fire image will help a study by Brazil and NASA into the effect of major ground fires on the atmosphere.
"If this kind of thing happens, biomass burning all over the world -- and it is happening all the time all over lower latitudes -- if the clouds do that then this is a factor that has to be taken into account when you try to model climate and greenhouse effect on climate more accurately," Joseph said.
Joseph and other scientists with experiments on board the shuttle have declared the mission a success.

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.
Thought I'd see you one more time again.
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.

In the Persian Gulf War in 1991, the hot thrust-producing nozzles in the heart of the fuselage -- the devices that allow the Harrier to rise and balance in the air -- made the plane a magnet for heat-seeking missiles. Its loss rate was more than double that of the war's other leading U.S. combat jets. Five Harriers were shot down and two pilots died.

"It's the most vulnerable plane that's in service now," said Franklin C. "Chuck" Spinney, who evaluates tactical aircraft for the Pentagon. "You can't hit that thing without hitting something important."
In the last decade, the use of laser-guided ordnance from highflying bombers and unmanned drones has diminished the need for the Harrier's brand of close air support.

Delta Force Marine awarded Navy Cross for fight at CIA annex in Benghazi
Saturday, November 16, 2013
In a unique battlefield commendation, a Marine Corps member of Delta Force has been awarded the nation’s second-highest military honor for coming to the defense of Americans last year at a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya.
Delta Force, a counterterrorism unit in the secretive Joint Special Operations Command, has been thought of as a strictly Army outfit. But it does take on qualified commandos from other services.
The Washington Times has reported that two Delta Force members were among a seven-person rescue team sent from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli to Benghazi on the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Their mission: rescue diplomats, security personnel and CIA employees pinned down by terrorists about a mile from the U.S. diplomatic mission where Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and aide Sean Smith were killed by al Qaeda-directed militants.
The Times can now report that one of the Delta Force members was an Army soldier and the other a Marine.
The soldier was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, and the Marine received the Navy Cross for heroism.
The bestowal of the awards was done in secret. The medals rank just below the nation’s highest military award, the Medal of Honor.
The Navy provided a statement to The Times:
“Yes, a Navy Cross was approved, but due to security and privacy concerns no further information can be provided at this time. It is not unusual for certain awards not to be publicized, and details of the circumstances and actions that justified the award to be withheld. Per [Department of Defense] regulations, this information will not be released if it could potentially lead to a compromise of national security, or potentially create undue risk to the security and privacy of the awardee and his/her family.”
Special operations sources said they know of no other Marine earning such a high honor as a Delta Force member. Awards to Delta Force, which operates in the shadows and sometimes with great autonomy, are usually kept classified.

Far From Battlefield, Marines Lose One-Third of Harrier Fleet
The corps, persuing its long-held dream of a unique flying force, pays a heavy price: 45 of its elite officers killed
December 15, 2002 Alan C. Miller and Kevin Sack Times Staff Writers
If the Harrier's problems have lingered, some current and former Marine officials contend, it is because the Navy has once again let them down. As the financial overseer of the corps' aviation program, the Navy hasn't always provided enough money to maintain a plane flown only by the Marines, they say -- a charge Navy officials vigorously dispute.
Undaunted by past failures, the Marines have pressed on. Some survivors of Harrier pilots say that is as it should be, that their husbands and sons knew the risks but believed in the cause. Others are less forgiving, convinced that the corps has been more faithful to its vertical vision than to its pilots. They say the corps has taken unreasonable risks with the lives of their loved ones.
"They deserve the best chance we can give them if we're going to stick them out there to stretch the envelope," said Jim E. Dale, whose brother, 1st Lt. Kerry D. Dale, died in a 1988 Harrier crash after his flaps jammed. "They deserve honesty. They deserve integrity. They deserve the very principles from the corps that we think the corps stands for."
Many of the Harrier's victims left behind adoring wives and children too young to comprehend. Long after their deaths, their parents grasp for memories, adorning their sons' bedrooms with ceremonial swords, plastic airplane models and flags folded neatly into tri-corner boxes.

Far From Battlefield, Marines Lose One-Third of Harrier Fleet
THE VERTICAL VISION
The corps, persuing its long-held dream of a unique flying force, pays a heavy price: 45 of its elite officers killed
December 15, 2002 Alan C. Miller and Kevin Sack Times Staff Writers
Twelve years after Maj. Roland P. Wheeler died in a Harrier crash, his widow, Brandi, still drives her white Toyota Camry with his call sign -- "Wheels" -- stamped on her license plate. Even within the macho culture of military aviation, she said, Harrier pilots hold a certain swaggering cachet: "If you flew the Harrier, you walked on water and glowed in the dark."
After watching so many colleagues die, some pilots and their families have decided the risk is too great. Gary Pheasant left the Marine Corps in 1988, with 1,800 flight hours in the Harrier, when his wife decided she could no longer live with the dread.
"When I'd go fly," he said, "she'd make sure the house was clean. She figured the chaplain could be coming over at any moment."

Carjacked Kids Can't Be Found
Mother Draws Cops' Attention
Lie Test Inconclusive
October 30, 1994 By Knight-Ridder/Tribune.
UNION, S.C. — Authorities remain frustrated in the search for two children who apparently were abducted by a gunman in a carjacking.
Sheriff Howard Wells said Friday there were no suspects in the Tuesday night disappearance of Michael Smith, 3, and his brother, Alexander, 14 months.
Sightings of possible suspects near Union and in North Carolina produced nothing, and police continued to conduct searches and talk to family members looking for clues, Wells said.
He said nobody, including the parents of the children-David Smith, 24, and Susan Vaughan Smith, 23-had been ruled out as possible suspects. But Wells also said he had no suspects.

Flight of the Intruder
Their assignment, 45 years ago: Drop mines over Vietnam, something no jet had ever done.
By Rebecca Maksel
AirSpaceMag.com, February 24, 2012
What Dave Cable remembers most about that night was the torrential rain. On February 26, 1967, a flight of seven Grumman A-6A Intruders, led by Commander A.H. Barie of squadron VA-35, took off from the USS Enterprise. The A-6s were loaded with Mk 50 and Mk 52 mines, which would be dropped into the Song Ca and Son Giang rivers in North Vietnam in an attempt to stop the flow of supplies and men into South Vietnam.
According to U.S. military officials, as quoted by the Los Angeles Times on February 27, the non-floating mines were meant for sampans and junks, and posed “no danger to deep water maritime traffic.” Hanoi radio, on the other hand, called the mining of rivers “a new escalation of the war by U.S. imperialists.” Either way, it was the first time mines had been dropped from the air since World War II, and the first time mines were dropped from jet aircraft.
Eight A-6s had been scheduled to depart from the carrier, but one aborted on the flight deck; its replacement aborted in flight, and returned to the Marine Air Station at Da Nang, South Vietnam.
“I remember so distinctly our pre-flight," says Cable (above, right, with navigator/bombardier Stuart Johnson), who was a pilot with VA-35 that night. "The worst part of the flight from my standpoint was sitting on the flight deck, canopy open, in a downpour, soaking wet and cold. And we had to wait an extra amount of time because we had to get the system up and running, and get our inertial platform [navigation equipment] aligned.”

Lyndon B. Johnson
XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969
556 - Letter Accepting Resignation of Robert F. Kennedy as Attorney General.
September 3, 1964
Dear Bob:
It is with regret that I have received your resignation. You have played a very vital role in the conduct of public affairs.
Both President Kennedy and I sought your counsel on a wide range of matters going far beyond the usual concerns of the Department of Justice. For four years you have shared in deliberations on major matters of national security, and your contributions have been significant.
You must also share my special satisfaction at your conduct of the office of Attorney General. Under your administration the Department of Justice achieved new standards of excellence and has come to symbolize this government's insistence on the vigorous and impartial assurance of equal justice to all Americans. It has been an administration worthy in every way of the grand tradition of justice on which American liberty rests.
My regret at your leaving is tempered by satisfaction in the knowledge that you intend to continue your service to your country. You will soon be back in Washington where I can again call upon your judgment and counsel.
With best regards,
Sincerely,
LYNDON B. JOHNSON
[Honorable Robert F. Kennedy, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.]
Note: Mr. Kennedy served as Attorney General from January 21, 1961, through September 3, 1964. His letter of resignation, dated September 3, was released on the same day.

We're on the threshold of the most crucial day of our times. 3 million men out there, keyed up, just waiting for that big step-off. We aren't exactly alone.
