PICARD: How long have you been here?
KIRK: I don't know. I was aboard the Enterprise-B in the deflector control room... ...Stir these, will you?
(Kirk thrusts a hot frying pan into Picard's hands)
PICARD: Ow!
KIRK: The bulkhead in front of me disappeared. ...Then I found myself out here just now chopping wood, ...right before you walked up. Thanks.
PICARD: Look, ...history records that you died saving the Enterprise-B from an energy ribbon eighty years ago.
KIRK: You say this is the twenty-fourth century.
Picard: Aha.
KIRK: And I'm dead?
PICARD: Not exactly. As I said, this is some kind of...
KIRK/PICARD: Temporal nexus.
KIRK: ...Yeah, I heard you.

MODEST MOUSE
"Never Ending Math Equation"
I'm the same as I was when I was 6 years old
And oh my God I feel so damn old
I don't really feel anything
On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below
And oh my God, they look so alone
Do they really feel anything?
Oh my God, I've gotta gotta gotta gotta move on
Where do you move when what you're moving from
Is yourself?
The universe works on a math equation
that never even ever really even ends in the end
Infinity spirals out creation
We're on the tip of its tongue, and it is saying
We ain't sure where you stand
You ain't machines and you ain't land
And the plants and the animals, they are linked
And the plants and the animals eat each other
Oh my God and oh my cat
I told my Dad what I need
Well I know what I have and want
But I don't know what I need
Well, he said he said he said he said
"Where we're going I'm dead."

Remarks at the Montana Centennial Celebration in Helena
1989-09-18
Thank you, Governor Stephens. Thank you very much -- you and Mrs. Stephens -- for greeting us at the airport. Lieutenant Governor Kolstad, congressional delegation, members of the State legislature, and the mayor of Helena: Let me say to everyone gathered here and to all the people of Montana that it is a great pleasure for me to be back in this great State. Happy Birthday -- 100!
And you're certainly celebrating this in style. I have to tell you that I was mightily impressed with that centennial cattle drive. It captured the hearts of America -- nearly 3,000 cattle, 60 miles in 6 days. Now, maybe I can get a few of those drovers to come back with me to Washington. There's a herd back on Capitol Hill that I'd like to move in my direction. [Laughter]
You know, this is my first visit to Montana since the campaign and since I started my new job. November 8th was a big day for me in 1988, and I know it's the big day for all Montanans in 1989. And this is my first visit.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HISTORY
Lawrence Berkeley National Labs
Lawrence Radiation Laboratory grew out of the invention of the cyclotron in 1929 by the late Ernest O. Lawrence. The cyclotron proved to be the most effective tool for generating high-energy beams of nuclear particles with which to explore the atomic nucleus.
A beam of particles was accelerated for the first time successfully in a cyclotron at Berkeley on January 2, 1931

The Founding of a Laboratory and Scientific Legacy
Bust of EOL
In the summer of 1928, Ernest Orlando Lawrence, a 27-year-old physics professor from Yale University, joined the faculty at UC Berkeley. He was the prized recruit of Robert Gordon Sproul, secretary to the UC Board of Regents and soon-to-be UC President, as part of a major effort to elevate UC’s physics department to the same lofty stature of its renowned chemistry department. After three years of working out of Room 329 in Le Conte Hall, where he invented the “cyclotron,” the circular particle accelerator that would eventually win him a Nobel Prize in physics, Lawrence needed a much larger space to accommodate his proposed 27-inch cyclotron. He also needed a much firmer floor. A key component of the 27-inch cyclotron was to be an 80-ton magnet, which Lawrence obtained from the Federal Telegraph Company. The magnet was originally built to power a transatlantic radio link in World War I but had since become surplus. Working with Leonard Fuller, a UC Berkeley electrical engineer who also happened to be a Federal Telegraph Company vice-president, Lawrence received the magnet as a donation. He was less successful getting free electrical power from PG&E.
The perfect new home for Lawrence’s expanding research program was a two-story, clapboard-sided wooden building, which stood adjacent to Le Conte Hall. It had been the site of the Civil Engineering Testing Laboratory (CETL) but was now empty. Constructed in 1902, the CETL featured a concrete floor strong enough to support the 80-ton magnet. On August 26, 1931, President Sproul awarded Lawrence full use of the CETL, which Lawrence promptly renamed the "Radiation Laboratory," soon known simply as “The Rad Lab,” the precursor to today’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For his invention of the cyclotron, Lawrence won the 1939 Nobel Prize in physics. Because of the war in Europe, the ceremony was held in Berkeley, rather than in Stockholm. One year later, construction began on Lawrence’s 184-inch cyclotron. Far too large to be located on the UC Berkeley campus, this machine was built in the hills overlooking the campus, the location of Berkeley Lab today.
Portal to a New Science
The front entrance door to the Civil Engineering Testing Laboratory that became Ernest Lawrence’s Rad Lab in 1931. According to legend, when the old building was being torn down in 1959, Melvin Calvin, the future Nobel laureate chemist, salvaged the door for posterity.
The Early Cyclotrons
Modern physics is based on the ability of scientists to venture inside the atom and explore the elementary particles of force and matter. This requires energy that physicists obtain through particle accelerators. Ernest O. Lawrence opened the door to modern physics with the invention of the cyclotron, which featured a unique circular design that made possible the production of high energies in a machine relatively compact in size. A cyclotron is composed of two semicircular electrodes encased in a closed vacuum chamber and sandwiched between the poles of a circular electromagnet. An electric field fills the gap between the electrodes. Particles moving across this gap are given an electrical push forward. The magnet bends the path of the particles so that they travel in a circle. This means that the particles keep crossing through the same accelerating gap over and over again, gaining speed and energy with each crossing. Lawrence’s first crude cyclotron was constructed in the spring of 1930, a pie-shaped concoction of glass, sealing wax, and bronze. The first working model was built later that fall. It measured five-inches in diameter and on January 2, 1931, it was successfully used to boost hydrogen ions (protons) to an energy of 80,000 electron volts.
How Does A Cyclotron Work?
The term “cyclotron” was originally laboratory slang for “magnetic resonance accelerator.” A cyclotron is composed of two semicircular electrodes called “dees” because they are shaped like the letter “D.” These dees are encased inside a vacuum chamber that is exposed to a powerful external magnetic field. The application of a voltage to the two dees creates an electric field in the gap between them. When ions (charged particles) are introduced into the center of the vacuum chamber, the magnetic field causes them to begin to move in a circular path. As the ions cross the gap between the dees and they are given an energy kick that causes them to accelerate. The ions cross this accelerating gap twice during each orbit. Because the strength of magnetic field never changes, the orbit of the ions widens each time they gain energy. The accelerating ions continue to spiral from the cyclotron chamber’s center until they reach their peak energy at the chamber’s outer edge. At that point, the energized ions are drawn out of the chamber by an oppositely charged extractor and formed into a target-bombarding beam.

381 - Statement About the Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography
October 24, 1970
SEVERAL weeks ago, the National Commission on Obscenity and Pornography-appointed in a previous administration-presented its findings.
I have evaluated that report and categorically reject its morally bankrupt conclusions and major recommendations.
So long as I am in the White House, there will be no relaxation of the national effort to control and eliminate smut from our national life.

Remarks at the South Dakota Centennial Celebration in Sioux Falls
1989-09-18
Good morning, Sioux Falls, and happy birthday, South Dakota! Don't worry, I'm not going to try to sing it. And thanks to the young men of the McCrossan Boys Ranch for the ride in here.
It is a pleasure to be back with you in South Dakota, home of some of nature's most wonderful creations: the American buffalo, the antelope, the prairie dog, the jack rabbit. The only missing thing today -- the Silver Fox. And Barbara is not with us, unfortunately.
