Microsoft May Go Shopping -- Multimedia Said To Be On List
By Paul Andrews
Microsoft may be doing a little shopping soon, and some speculate it might drop some of its $1.4 billion nest egg in Hollywood.
The Redmond software giant reported earlier in the week that it has a $1.4 billion cash balance on the books. In a meeting with securities analysts yesterday, Chairman Bill Gates acknowledged that the company is investigating "cash-intensive" new technologies.
Gates would not be more specific, but speculation is that Microsoft's interests include stepping up its involvement with multimedia. That could include software applications related to satellite transmission of movies, or purchasing movie rights to use in databases or electronic distribution. Gates met recently with Hollywood power broker Michael Ovitz of Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles.
Gates yesterday showed analysts a computerized movie guide called Cinemania that Microsoft is developing for CD-ROM, or compact disc drives on computers. The database has information on 19,000 movies, including biographies of 3,000 stars and a list of all Academy Award winners.
Calling up a data screen for "The Maltese Falcon," Gates showed a still picture of Humphrey Bogart with the star saying the famous line, "This is the stuff that dreams are made of," over the computer's speaker.
It also summed up Gates' vision of Windows for the office and home.

Exclusive - The FAA: regulating business on the moon
Reuters By Irene Klotz
14 hours ago [ Retrieved 7 PM Tuesday 03 February 2015 Pacific Time USA ]
By Irene Klotz
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - The United States government has taken a new, though preliminary, step to encourage commercial development of the moon.
According to documents obtained by Reuters, U.S. companies can stake claims to lunar territory through an existing licensing process for space launches.
The Federal Aviation Administration, in a previously undisclosed late-December letter to Bigelow Aerospace, said the agency intends to “leverage the FAA’s existing launch licensing authority to encourage private sector investments in space systems by ensuring that commercial activities can be conducted on a non-interference basis.”
In other words, experts said, Bigelow could set up one of its proposed inflatable habitats on the moon, and expect to have exclusive rights to that territory - as well as related areas that might be tapped for mining, exploration and other activities.
However, the FAA letter noted a concern flagged by the U.S. State Department that “the national regulatory framework, in its present form, is ill-equipped to enable the U.S. government to fulfill its obligations” under a 1967 United Nations treaty, which, in part, governs activities on the moon.
The United Nations Outer Space treaty, in part, requires countries to authorize and supervise activities of non-government entities that are operating in space, including the moon. It also bans nuclear weapons in space, prohibits national claims to celestial bodies and stipulates that space exploration and development should benefit all countries.
“We didn’t give (Bigelow Aerospace) a license to land on the moon. We’re talking about a payload review that would potentially be part of a future launch license request. But it served a purpose of documenting a serious proposal for a U.S. company to engage in this activity that has high-level policy implications,” said the FAA letter’s author, George Nield, associate administrator for the FAA’s Office of Commercial Transportation.
“We recognize the private sector’s need to protect its assets and personnel on the moon or on other celestial bodies," the FAA wrote in the December letter to Bigelow Aerospace. The company, based in Nevada, is developing the inflatable space habitats. Bigelow requested the policy statement from the FAA, which oversees commercial space transportation in the U.S.
The letter was coordinated with U.S. departments of State, Defense, Commerce, as well as NASA and other agencies involved in space operations. It expands the FAA’s scope from launch licensing to U.S. companies’ planned activities on the moon, a region currently governed only by the nearly 50-year old UN space treaty.
But the letter also points to more legal and diplomatic work that will have to be done to govern potential commercial development of the moon or other extraterrestrial bodies.
“It’s very much a wild west kind of mentality and approach right now,” said John Thornton, chief executive of private owned Astrobotic, a startup lunar transportation and services firm competing in a $30 million Google-backed moon exploration XPrize contest.
Among the pending issues is lunar property and mineral rights, a topic that was discussed and tabled in the 1970s in a sister UN proposal called the Moon Treaty. It was signed by just nine countries, including France, but not the United States.
"It is important to remember that many space-faring nations have national companies that engage in commercial space activities. They will definitely want to be part of the rule making process," said Joanne Gabrynowicz, a professor of space law at University of Mississippi .
Bigelow Aerospace is expected to begin testing a space habitat aboard the International Space Station this year. The company intends to then operate free-flying orbital outposts for paying customers, including government agencies, research organizations, businesses and even tourists. That would be followed by a series of bases on the moon beginning around 2025, a project estimated to cost about $12 billion.
Company founder Robert Bigelow said he intends to invest $300 million of his own funds, about $2.5 billion in hardware and services from Bigelow Aerospace and raise the rest from private investors.
The FAA’s decision “doesn’t mean that there’s ownership of the moon," Bigelow told Reuters. "It just means that somebody else isn’t licensed to land on top of you or land on top of where exploration and prospecting activities are going on, which may be quite a distance from the lunar station.”
Other companies could soon be testing rights to own what they bring back from the moon. Moon Express, another aspiring lunar transportation company, and also an XPrize contender, intends to return moon dust or rocks on its third mission.
“The company does not see anything, including the Outer Space Treaty, as being a barrier to our initial operations on the moon," said Moon Express co-founder and president Bob Richards. That includes "the right to bring stuff off the moon and call it ours.”

Microsoft May Go Shopping -- Multimedia Said To Be On List
By Paul Andrews
Microsoft may be doing a little shopping soon, and some speculate it might drop some of its $1.4 billion nest egg in Hollywood.
The Redmond software giant reported earlier in the week that it has a $1.4 billion cash balance on the books. In a meeting with securities analysts yesterday, Chairman Bill Gates
Gates said Microsoft expects 35 percent or more of its revenues in 1993 to come from new products and upgrades of present software, including the about-to-be-released Microsoft Golf simulation game.
He said he frequently has lunch with media executives who tell him, " `You are so under-leveraged.' I have to admit it hasn't bothered me yet," Gates joked.
Noting that Microsoft's past "bets" on MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh development and other leading-edge technologies have paid off handsomely, Gates said: "We're pretty clever about finding places to spend money to make bets. The digital world will create lots of new opportunities."
It was a tale of two software cities as Seattle-based Aldus and Microsoft of Redmond told their financial stories to leading securities analysts yesterday.
For Aldus, the personal-computer industry's ninth-largest company, it was the worst of times as it announced plans to reduce it work force in Seattle through attrition. Earlier in the week, it reported its first quarterly loss ever, $900,000, or 6 cents a share, based on revenues of $38.9 million.
Just a year ago, the company reported net income of $7.6 million, or 49 cents a share, on revenues of $44.3 million.
But it was the best of times for Microsoft, which reported its best quarter ever, with profits of $210 million, or 71 cents a share, on revenues of $815 million. As chief financial officer Frank Gaudette put it, the numbers assured Microsoft of its 17th consecutive year of growth: 50 percent in revenue to $2.8 billion, 53 percent in profits to $708 million.
"I'll even go out on a limb and predict that fiscal year 1993 will be our 18th year of growth," the typically conservative Gaudette told the analysts.
But the theme of the day in Redmond was long-term investing - how it has paid off in the past for Microsoft and what the company is doing to capitalize on the "digital world" of the future.

Comdex To Star The Champ And Local Young Lions Of New Media -- Northwest Exposure
By Paul Andrews
Las Vegas will again host the invincible young champ and over-the-hill prizefighter next week. Unlike the Moorer-Foreman bout of a few days ago, though, few are taking odds that a rejuvenated IBM will be stealing any personal-computing titles from the reigning gladiator, Microsoft.
The two kingpins of silicon have been trading headlines like left jabs in recent days in an attempt to grab market mindshare heading into Monday's start at Comdex, the fall computer-industry bash where 2,000 exhibitors will strut their weeklong stuff with 7,000-plus new products covering more than 2 million square feet.
While the two warriors slug it out in the media, a bunch of young lions, many from the Northwest, will be showing the future of computing at Comdex. It's called the New Media, and includes speech, sound, animation, 3-D and video in experimental combinations expected to supplant TV programming as the next century's communications revolution.
But first, the main card:
Just five years ago, Microsoft and IBM raised their arms in solidarity at Comdex and pledged to work together in developing the next-generation computer operating system software called OS/2. That deal lasted only months after the two had a falling out. Microsoft pushed ahead with Windows, and IBM assumed control over OS/2. Microsoft captured 80 percent of the 100 million or so desktop computers in use today with its DOS-Windows operating system combination, while IBM, with 6 million users, has all but gone down for the count with OS/2.
A few weeks ago, it looked like IBM would ride into the city that never sleeps on a roll. The latest version of OS/2, called Warp, was being introduced. There was talk of a buyout of Apple Computer, then announcement of a deal making the PowerPC chip (co-developed with Apple and Motorola) the foundation of a shared computer platform where both companies' software would work interchangeably. While IBM led with its right, Microsoft bobbed and weaved, staying out of the way and uncharacteristically subdued.
Then came the counterattack. First, discussion about Microsoft's proposed purchase of Intuit and its Quicken program centered on Microsoft's potential hegemony over the financial software field. Then word that Marvel, Microsoft's much-touted and widely feared online service, would be demonstrated at Comdex, by none other than Chairman Bill Gates. Bam, bam: Gates announced a new chief operating officer, and an electronic-banking deal with Visa.
Despite all the posturing, the truth is that much pre-convention noise is based on ephemeral alliances and shaky deal-making, as the 1989 IBM-Microsoft announcement showed.
Warp's glitzy New York City rollout could not dissuade reviewers from uncovering bugs severe enough to delay shipment, and skeptics wonder if two companies as different culturally as IBM and Apple could agree on which direction the sun sets. Meanwhile, Marvel is still in early development, and the next version of Windows (dubbed Windows 95) is not expected till the middle of next year, months late.
Still, when in Caesar's Palace, do as the Romans do. Grand theater is the style befitting Vegas.
More intriguing than the Battle Royale may be the undercard, where New Media startups and upstarts will be showing their wares. Many, assuming that if they build it the customers will come, have technologically pioneering products but an undefined market base. If the developers, many of them ex-Microsoft managers, aren't direct descendants of the Microsoft psychology, they have adapted it: Create a product, nurture it and anticipate the market will emerge.
"It really is true that whether you're in Dallas as a telecommunications hub or Boston as a telephony hub or Hollywood as an entertainment hub, a lot of these companies view the Northwest as the mecca of New Media," said Sonja Carson, a Seattle-based recruiter. "And it's because of Microsoft."
Other regions may have technological strengths, but they lack a strong software component. "Even more than Silicon Valley, they think the software is here," Carson said.
Among the deals driving interest here are:
-- Microsoft's interactive TV project with cable giant Tele-Communications Inc. and a big supporting cast.
-- Time Warner's partnership with Seattle's Hyperbole Studios, which develops movies on CD-ROM.
-- A Random House liaison with Woodinville-based Humongous Entertainment, which does animated children's educational titles.
-- A Disney deal with Pacific Interactive to produce a CD-ROM title based on Disney's cartoon characters.
"Everybody comes up here to scout for talent and interesting new stuff," said Sheila Richardson, head of the Digital Media Alliance in Bellevue. "We're seeing the Northwest as the Hollywood of New Media beginning to happen."
At Comdex, Headbone Interactive, a Capitol Hill startup, will be showing its forthcoming "AlphaBonk Farm" children's learning game on CD. Headbone assembled the noisy cartoonlike program using original farm characters and entirely local talent for creative direction and voice-overs.
Susan Lammers, who worked with Gates' home electronic-art company, Continuum, helped form the company, which used kids themselves as testers.
A couple of other multimedia specialists - Splash Studios in Redmond, founded by ex-Microsoft managers Patrick Ford and Jack Turk, and Pacific Interactive, the Seattle branch of a Santa Monica, Calif., firm - will be making Comdex rounds. Both are doing children's educational or "edu-tainment" titles, the former with Hollywood scriptwriters and former Aldus and Pinnacle Post engineers. Pacific Interactive is drawing on Disney characters.
Medio Multimedia, a pioneering Redmond company formed by two former Microsoft managers, will show three new CD-ROM titles - "Vietnam," a documentary similar to its award-winning "JFK Assassination" last year; "Safari," an interactive tour of East Africa; and "Extreme Sports," a compilation of 20 daredevil pasttimes.
Behind the scenes, Seattle's expanding Watts-Silverstein, a creative events and presentations agency, will produce the Wednesday morning keynote address by Andrew Grove, head of chip-maker Intel Corp., Sunnyvale, Calif.
Watts-Silverstein has previously worked with Grove, Gates and other industry chieftains on product rollouts and creative productions, but is looking to capitalize

Billionaire Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates beat a $47 traffic ticket by bringing a lawyer to court to contest the charge. Gates was cited for an illegal turn last August in Seattle. He contended that a stop sign at the intersection was illegally placed. The magistrate dismissed the charge last week because city prosecutors failed to respond to the defendant's request for information about the stop sign. Gates' lawyer, William Shaw, refused to discuss his hourly rate. "That's confidential," he said.

Hey, It's $47!
Hey, it's $47! Billionaire Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates beat a $47 traffic ticket by bringing a lawyer to court to contest the charge.
Gates was cited for an illegal turn last August. He and lawyer William Shaw were in Seattle Municipal Court Thursday contending a stop sign at the intersection was illegally placed. The magistrate dismissed the charge because city prosecutors failed to respond to the defendant's request for information about the stop sign.
Ted Inkley, head of the Seattle city attorney's criminal division, said his staff was too busy handling its annual workload of 60,000 cases to seriously consider Gates' request for information.
"Mr. Gates went through the city's fingers," he said.

House of Representatives
Articles of Impeachment Adopted by the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary
July 27, 1974
RESOLVED, That Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanours, and that the following articles of impeachment to be exhibited to the Senate:
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THE NAME OF ITSELF AND OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AGAINST RICHARD M. NIXON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF ITS IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HIM FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANOURS.
ARTICLE I
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his consitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that:
On June 17, 1972, and prior thereto, agents of the Committee for the Re-election of the President committed unlawful entry of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, District of Columbia, for the purpose of securing political intelligence. Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities.
The means used to implement this course of conduct or plan included one or more of the following:
Making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;
Withholding relevant and material evidence or information from lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;
Approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counselling witnesses with respect to the giving of false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States and false or misleading testimony in duly instituted judicial and congressional proceedings;
Interfering or endeavouring to interfere with the conduct of investigations by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and Congressional Committees;
Approving, condoning, and acquiescing in, the surreptitious payment of substantial sums of money for the purpose of obtaining the silence or influencing the testimony of witnesses, potential witnesses or individuals who participated in such unlawful entry and other illegal activities;
Endeavouring to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency, an agency of the United States;
Disseminating information received from officers of the Department of Justice of the United States to subjects of investigations conducted by lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States, for the purpose of aiding and assisting such subjects in their attempts to avoid criminal liability;
Making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States into believing that a thorough and complete investigation had been conducted with respect to allegations of misconduct on the part of personnel of the executive branch of the United States and personnel of the Committee for the Re-election of the President, and that there was no involvement of such personnel in such misconduct: or
Endeavouring to cause prospective defendants, and individuals duly tried and convicted, to expect favoured treatment and consideration in return for their silence or false testimony, or rewarding individuals for their silence or false testimony.
In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
ARTICLE II
Using the powers of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has repeatedly engaged in conduct violating the constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries, or contravening the laws governing agencies of the executive branch and the purposed of these agencies.
This conduct has included one or more of the following:
He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposed not authorized by law, and to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be intitiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.
He misused the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, and other executive personnel, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, by directing or authorizing such agencies or personnel to conduct or continue electronic surveillance or other investigations for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; he did direct, authorize, or permit the use of information obtained thereby for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; and he did direct the concealment of certain records made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of electronic surveillance.
He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, authorized and permitted to be maintained a secret investigative unit within the office of the President, financed in part with money derived from campaign contributions, which unlawfully utilized the resources of the Central Intelligence Agency, engaged in covert and unlawful activities, and attempted to prejudice the constitutional right of an accused to a fair trial.
He has failed to take care that the laws were faithfully executed by failing to act when he knew or had reason to know that his close subordinates endeavoured to impede and frustrate lawful inquiries by duly constituted executive, judicial and legislative entities concerning the unlawful entry into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and the cover-up thereof, and concerning other unlawful activities including those relating to the confirmation of Richard Kleindienst as Attorney General of the United States, the electronic surveillance of private citizens, the break-in into the offices of Dr. Lewis Fielding, and the campaign financing practices of the Committee to Re-elect the President.
In disregard of the rule of law, he knowingly misused the executive power by interfering with agencies of the executive branch, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Criminal Division, and the Office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, of the Department of Justice, and the Central Intelligence Agency, in violation of his duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
ARTICLE III
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, contrary to his oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on April 11, 1974, May 15, 1974, May 30, 1974, and June 24, 1974, and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas. The subpoenaed papers and things were deemed necessary by the Committee in order to resolve by direct evidence fundamental, factual questions relating to Presidential direction, knowledge or approval of actions demonstrated by other evidence to be substantial grounds for impeachment of the President. In refusing to produce these papers and things Richard M. Nixon, substituting his judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry, interposed the powers of the Presidency against the the lawful subpoenas of the House of Representatives, thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives.
In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

Washington Post
Judiciary Committee Approves Article to Impeach President Nixon, 27 to 11
6 Republicans Join Democrats to Pass Obstruction Charge
By Richard Lyons and William Chapman
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, July 28, 1974; Page A01
The House Judiciary Committee took the momentous step last night of recommending that the president of the United States be impeached and removed from office.
The first such impeachment recommendation in more than a century, it charges President Nixon with unlawful activities that formed a "course of conduct or plan" to obstruct the investigation of the Watergate break-in and to cover up other unlawful activities.
The vote was 27 to 11, with 6 of the committee's 17 Republicans joining all 21 Democrats in voting to send the article to the House.
At least one other article accusing the President of abuse of power is expected to be approved Monday when the committee resumes.
But approval of a single article is all that is required to send the issue to the House. And approval of a single article by a majority of the House is enough to impeach the President and send the case to trial in the Senate, which could remove Mr. Nixon from office by a two-thirds vote.
The bipartisan support for the article adopted last night makes impeachment by the House seem more than likely. The majority included three conservative Southern Democrats and three conservative Republicans.
In San Clemente, Calif., White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said after the vote that Mr. Nixon remains confident that the House will recognize he has not committed an impeachable offense.
But Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said he will meet Monday with Minority Leader Hugh Scott to launch formal Senate preparations for an impeachment trial.
"The line of demarcation has been reached," he said.
Most members of the Judiciary Committee cast their votes in low, solemn tones and afterward spoke almost in awe of what they had done.
"It's a grave and sobering decision," said Rep. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.), who had managed the debate on Article I for the impeachment forces as an author of a substitute article.
"I don't feel very good about it," said Rep. Tom Railsback (R-Ill.), one of the key Republicans who voted against the President.
Some Republican opponents of impeachment were angry. "It's not only a bad day for the presidency, it's a bad day for American justice," said Rep. Delbert Latta (R-Ohio). He complained that the article of impeachment did not contain enough specific allegations.
"We have weakened the hand of the President and the 220 million people he represents," said Rep. Joseph Maraziti (R-N.J.), one of Mr. Nixon's most persistent supporters.
Other anti-impeachment Republicans vowed to fight the impeachment article when it comes to the House floor. "It's only Round One," said Rep. David W. Dennis (R-Ind.). "There'll be a good scramble in the House."
Even those whose impeachment votes were never in doubt voiced no sense of triumph. "I don't want to talk to anybody," Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-Tex.) said. "It's a terrible thing to happen to anybody," said Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.). "I'm not happy," said Chairman Peter W. Rodino (D-N.J.).
Just before the historic vote, Rep. Walter Flowers (D-Ala.) revealed for the first time he had decided to vote for impeachment. He said that after weeks of searching the facts and the Constitution "it is clear to me what I must do." He said some of his constituents would feel hurt by his vote against the president but he assured them that, "I probably have enough pain for both them and me."
Rep. Hamilton Fish (R-N.Y.) also disclosed he would vote for impeachment. He said he reached that point "with deep reluctance," but added. "The evidence is clear."
It took two votes -- one to substitute the amended Sarbanes version for the original resolution and then one to approve the impeachment article. The vote ended at 7:05 p.m.
The article specified nine categories of unlawful activities that were allegedly part of the cover-up.
"In all this," the article concluded, "Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
"Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office."
During the four days of general debate and amending of the article, the principal witness was the absent President himself. Time after time, committee members picked up transcripts of taped presidential conversations to read back the President's words.
And even more often they would note a gap in the evidence caused by the President's refusal to comply with committee subpoenas that he turn over more tapes.
The articles of impeachment will go to the House headed by a resolution, which in its present draft form reads:
"Resolved, that Richard M. Nixon, president of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles be exhibited to the Senate: . . ."
The impeachment inquiry, which began seven months ago, was provoked principally by Watergate but other issues covered by a proposed Article II charging abuse of power cause more concern among some members.
Some Republicans are most concerned about allegations that Mr. Nixon misused such sensitive agencies as the Internal Revenue Service and the Central Intelligence Agency for political purposes.
Others are most concerned about Mr. Nixon's defiance of committee subpoenas, which is now included in Article II as a contempt of Congress count, but may be broken out into a separate article. An attempt may be made to offer a fourth article on tax evasion, but it is not expected to be approved.
The obstruction of justice article approved last night accuses Mr. Nixon of making false statements to investigators, withholding relevant evidence, approving or counseling perjury, interfering with the Justice Department's investigation, approving payment of hush money to Watergate defendants, passing on information about the investigation to his aides who were suspects, making false statements to the American people about White House involvement in Watergate and causing defendants to believe they might receive clemency for the silence.
The Democratic majority and a few Republicans spent the afternoon on national television reciting instance after instance in which they said Mr. Nixon and his former top aides withheld information on the cover-up and tried to interfere with various investigations.
The committee yesterday rejected a half dozen amendments that would have deleted most of the nine paragraphs in Article I alleging obstruction of justice.
It was a pro forma debate, insisted upon by Rep. Flowers who said the committee had an obligation to build a record describing the specific offenses committed by Mr. Nixon and his aides.
One major amendment was passed. It charged that Mr. Nixon had personally and through aides engaged in a "course of conduct" designed to obstruct investigation of the cover-up. That language replaced a charge, considered more difficult to prove, that Mr. Nixon had formulated a specific "policy" to obstruct justice.
Another amendment added "congressional committees" to the list of organizations whose investigations Mr. Nixon was alleged to have interfered with.
The sharp debate on evidence yesterday was in contrast to the rambling arguments that characterized Friday's committee deliberations.
The Republican minority Friday demanded more specific facts in the charges lodged against Mr. Nixon in Article I. Unprepared, the Democrats and a few Republicans tried to contend the impeachment article didn't need specific citations of evidence to back it up.
But yesterday the Democrats were prepared in depth to give specific reasons Mr. Nixon should be impeached for obstructing justice in the Watergate cover-up. Different members had been assigned the task of defending each numbered paragraph in the charge and obviously were delighted to pour out the evidence before a national television audience.
Rep. Charles Sandman (R-N.J.), the Republican who had sought Friday to strike each paragraph one by one, backed down quickly yesterday, acknowledged he lacked the votes to win, and said the committee should go ahead and vote on the whole article.
But Flowers insisted that the committee had to build a record of evidence and demanded a debate and vote on each of Sandman's amendments.
The first amendment Flowers offered yesterday was to eliminate a paragraph charging that the cover-up plan included "withholding relevant and material evidence of information (on the break-in) from lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States."
Rep. William Cohen (R-Maine) promptly began rattling off evidence to show that Mr. Nixon and his top aides had withheld such information.
Cohen said that shortly after the June 17, 1972, break-in Mr. Nixon and his aide, John D. Ehrlichman, knew that men from the Committee for the Re-election of the President were involved. "These facts were withheld from the Attorney General and other investigators," he said.
There was also physical evidence in the White House -- a memo from H.R. Haldeman, chief of staff, a phone book containing E. Howard Hunt's name, and a copy of a political intelligence plan -- that was destroyed or altered, Cohen said.
He also recalled that former Attorney General John N. Mitchell told Mr. Nixon he was sorry he hadn't supervised more closely re-election committee employees who were involved and that Mr. Nixon had noted that information in one of his Dictabelt recollections.
Cohen also said that on March 13, 1973, Mr. Nixon was told that a White House aide, Gordon Strachman, had committed perjury, but he failed to report that information to investigators.
Reps. Dennis and Wiggins led the counter-attach, arguing that Cohen's list of evidence implicates Mr. Nixon's aides but not the President himself in withholding information.
Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Haldeman all had something to cover up, but the President didn't, Dennis said. He said the President didn't know anything about details of the cover-up until told of it on March 21, 1973, by his counsel, John W. Dean III.
Wiggins contended that even the famous March 21 conversation with Dean didn't implicate the President. He argued that, in context, the conversation showed Mr. Nixon anxious to have the policy of withholding," Wiggins said.
But Mr. Nixon had learned on March 13 of Strachan's perjury, countered Rep. John Seiberling (D-Ohio). "Did the President rise up in righteous indignation?" asked Seiberling. "He did nothing."
The move to strike the paragraph on withholding evidence was defeated on an overwhelming voice vote.
The only major substantive change in Article I voted yesterday was designed to make it more palatable in the Senate if Mr. Nixon should be brought to trial there.
Originally the article charged that Mr. Nixon "made it his policy" to obstruct the investigation of Watergate and to protect those responsible.
An amendment introduced by Railsback charged instead that the President engaged "in a course of conduct or plan designed" to impede and obstruct the investigation.
Railsback said he had difficulty believing that Mr. Nixon at any specific time formulated a policy of obstruction, but he said the record shows a "course of conduct" amounting to obstruction.
Dennis observed that Railsback's amendment cited a "plan" of obstruction and asked: "What's the difference between a policy and a plan?"
Railsback acknowledged he also had trouble judging the difference, but said that committee counsel believed that the word "policy" had the connotation of an "orchestrated" effort to obstruct.
"I believe that certain events occurred to which Mr. Nixon didn't respond or responded to in an improper way," Railsback added.
Did Railsback mean Mr. Nixon intentionally acted in such a way as to delay or impede the investigation? Wiggins wanted to know. Railsback said he meant that Mr. Nixon acted knowingly for the purpose of delaying and impeding it.
Rep. Wayne Owens (D-Utah) said he was satisfied that obstruction was a deliberate policy of the President but said that the new language would "make proof in the Senate easier."
Railsback's amendment was approved on a voice vote.
The only other substantive amendment was one by Rep. George E. Danielson (D-Calif.). It accused Mr. Nixon of interfering or trying to interfere with investigations by congressional committees. The original article had said he interfered with investigations by the Justice Department; the FBI, and the Watergate Special Prosecution Force.
Danielson charged that Mr. Nixon tried to interfere with the investigations planned or launched by the House Banking and Currency Committee, the Senate Watergate Committee, and the House Judiciary Committee.
Wiggins countered that there never was a Banking and Currency Committee investigation for Mr. Nixon to interfere with. The only evidence he tried to interfere with the Senate Watergate committee, Wiggins said, consisted of his considering withholding witnesses through claims of executive privilege, claims that were finally relinquished.
Danielson claimed Mr. Nixon interfered with the Judiciary Committee by withholding tapes and documents. Wiggins said the President was merely making a "good faith claim" to executive privilege by withholding these pieces of evidence.
Danielson's amendment was adopted 24 to 14, with supporters and opponents of impeachment winding up on both sides of the issue.
Two minor amendments offered by Rep. Lawrence Hogan (R-Md.) were approved on voice votes. One changed "illegal" entry to "unlawful" entry. Another related to a charge that the obstruction involved the making of false statements to investigators; Hogan's language added the phrase "or causing to be made."
After a mid-afternoon recess, Flowers agreed to limit debate to 20 minutes on each of his amendments to strike sections. And he passed over some without amendment. His amendments were beaten back by votes of better than 2 to 1. Flowers himself voted "Present," rather than no, to show he wasn't really trying to knock out the numbered charges, but rather to produce specific incidents of improper conduct.
Opposing an amendment to strike a section stating that the President condoned or counseled perjury. Rep. M. Caldwell Butler (R-Va.) read rapidly from the transcript of Dean's March 21, 1973, meeting with the President.
Butler noted that Dean told the President that Jeb Stuart Magruder and Herbert Porter, at the re-election committee, had committed perjury before the Watergate grand jury and that the President expressed no opposition to it. He also read from a March 27 transcript where the President's top aide, Haldeman, asked Mr. Nixon whether Dean "should stay with the old lie" and the President replied, "What would you advise him to do?"
Wiggins defending the President, said Mr. Nixon had learned of Magruder's and Porter's perjury after the fact and so had not "counseled" it. The section also contained the words "approving, condoning, acquiescing in . . ." Wiggins said "two reasonable possibilities" must be resolved in favor of the president.
Flower's pro forma effort to strike a section charging the President with attempting to interfere with the Justice Department and FBI Watergate investigation was strongly opposed by Hogan, a former FBI agent.
Hogan recited events starting June 23, 1973, when the President directed Haldeman and Ehrlichman to meet with top CIA officials and instruct them to relay to the FBI White House concern that the FBI Watergate investigation in Mexico might expose CIA activities there. The CIA reported back that there was no jeopardy to the CIA.
But the President's counsel, Dean, persisted in trying to keep the FBI out of Mexico, Hogan said. The reason, he said, was that the investigation would have traced money found on the Watergate burglars through a laundering process in Mexico and back to the re-election committee. After this, acting FBI Director Patrick Gray told Mr. Nixon his aides were trying to "mortally wound" him, but the President didn't even ask what he meant, Hogan said.
Wiggins responded that the President naturally had concern about possible CIA involvement in the Watergate break-in because of the CIA background of several of the burglars.
Wiggins said the President's concern was that covert CIA operations not be exposed, not that the trail of the money be covered.
And when Mr. Nixon talked with Gray, said Wiggins, he properly responded that Gray should "continue your investigation."
The President's critics try unreasonably to make something of a "perceptible pause" before Mr. Nixon replied to Gray's "mortally wound" remark, said Wiggins.
House Majority Leader Thomas p. O'Neill (D-Mass.) has repeatedly predicted that if the committee recommended impeachment, the House would vote to impeach the President by a margin of 50 votes or more.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are more liberal than House Democrats as a whole, and committee Republicans are more conservative than the House Republicans generally.
But Southern Democrats on the committee -- James R. Mann of South Carolina, Flowers of Alabama and Thornton of Arkansas -- are highly respected by their colleagues and should help make a vote for impeachment respectable among their Southern colleagues except for a relatively small group of about 25 conservatives who appear to have adopted an attitude of "never."
Similarly, committee Republicans like conservative Hogan, respected Southerner Butler, and Midwestern moderate Railsback, should be persuasive with various groups of Republicans in the House.
After the Judiciary Committee completes its work, it must write a report explaining to the House in detail why it has recommended impeachment. The committee will then go to the House Rules Committee a week later to get a resolution fixing ground rules for debate on the floor.
The House is expected to debate the articles about two weeks under the rule, permitting amendments as the committee procedure did, and vote about Aug. 24.
If the case goes to the Senate, the trial is expected to last about two months, preceded by a delay to permit the President's lawyers to prepare his defense.

Richard Nixon
XXXVII President of the United States: 1969 - 1974
231 - Remarks on Presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charles LeRoy Lowman.
July 27, 1974
Ladies and gentlemen:
We are gathered here today for the purpose of presenting the Medal of Freedom to Dr. Charles Lowman. I shall read a citation in just a moment, but it is very difficult on such an occasion like this not to mention the distinguished career of this very distinguished Californian and distinguished American without going into a little more length than the citation itself.
First, he is 94 years of age and in magnificent health, as you can see. Second, in his 94 years, he has been eminently successful as a doctor, but he has devoted most of his time in that 94 years helping other people, free of charge. He is particularly known for his work in orthopedics and, in that field, especially known for his work with young people.
There are thousands and thousands of children, for example, today in California and in other parts of this Nation who are walking who otherwise would be crippled except for Dr. Lowman. There are thousands and thousands of adults who are standing straighter, feeling better, who do not suffer from the various ailments involved in this kind of medicine because of Dr. Lowman's hard work and also his real genius.
He is, as we know, a distinguished man in his field. He will be remembered by his colleagues for what he has written, for what he has said, for what he has done, for his great technical skill. But he will be remembered by those he has helped and, I think, by his fellow Americans by the millions, because he has a great heart. He is a very fine human being, generous with his time, concerned about those less fortunate than he is, and it is this kind of man who deserves the Medal of Freedom, the highest recognition that our Government can give to an individual who is not in the Armed Forces of the United States.
I will now read the citation, and we will present the Medal of Freedom:
[At this point, the President read the citation, the text of which follows:
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AWARDS THIS PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM TO
CHARLES LEROY LOWMAN, M.D.
A pioneer in medicine, a physician of surpassing skill, and a great humanitarian, Dr. Charles LeRoy Lowman has devoted his life to the service of his fellow man. His good works have enriched the lives of thousands of patients, but none more so than the generations of handicapped children who have been treated at the hospital that he founded in Los Angeles early in this century. The world will long be indebted to this distinguished and noble American.]
Note: The President spoke at 11:07 a.m. at the Western White House, San Clemente, Calif.
On the same day, the White House released biographical data on Dr. Lowman and a fact sheet on the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Dr. Lowman responded to the President's remarks as follows:
Mr. President:
I can't thank you enough. This is probably the crowning achievement of my life, and we shall always remember it. I can't help but feel that in honoring me, you are realizing the background at the Orthopedic Hospital, and all the hundreds who have been my helpers are the ones who are responsible for much of the results of what we have attained today.
We started in with about $500 and 509 patients, and we moved into an old stable at the Orthopedic Hospital, and we stayed in that stable and held a clinic up until 1929. And we registered, to start with, 509 patients, and I checked the other day and there are pretty close to 207,000 in the Orthopedic Hospital, to say nothing of all the private cases that I have had.
Of course, at my age, I am getting many cases that are 40 and 50 years of follow-ups, which you have to live quite a while to get the types of people I have had.
The most important thing that I call the payoff is the fact that these people--who many of them are adults that I took care of when they were babies and made them walk again, clubfooted children, and then when I realize what they are accomplishing--they are not on the welfare rolls, and they are holding down good jobs and having families and one thing and another, and that is what I call the payoff.
No amount of money can ever give you the satisfaction that that does.
I want to thank you again very much.

'About eight or nine in the morning I came to the same seat of yellow metal from which I had viewed the world upon the evening of my arrival. I thought of my hasty conclusions upon that evening and could not refrain from laughing bitterly at my confidence. Here was the same beautiful scene, the same abundant foliage, the same splendid palaces and magnificent ruins, the same silver river running between its fertile banks. The gay robes of the beautiful people moved hither and thither among the trees. Some were bathing in exactly the place where I had saved Weena, and that suddenly gave me a keen stab of pain. And like blots upon the landscape rose the cupolas above the ways to the Under-world. I understood now what all the beauty of the Over-world people covered. Very pleasant was their day, as pleasant as the day of the cattle in the field. Like the cattle, they knew of no enemies and provided against no needs. And their end was the same.
'I grieved to think how brief the dream of the human intellect had been. It had committed suicide. It had set itself steadfastly towards comfort and ease, a balanced society with security and permanency as its watchword, it had attained its hopes—to come to this at last. Once, life and property must have reached almost absolute safety. The rich had been assured of his wealth and comfort, the toiler assured of his life and work. No doubt in that perfect world there had been no unemployed problem, no social question left unsolved. And a great quiet had followed.
'It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change. Only those animals partake of intelligence that have to meet a huge variety of needs and dangers.
'So, as I see it, the Upper-world man had drifted towards his feeble prettiness, and the Under-world to mere mechanical industry. But that perfect state had lacked one thing even for mechanical perfection—absolute permanency. Apparently as time went on, the feeding of the Under-world, however it was effected, had become disjointed. Mother Necessity, who had been staved off for a few thousand years, came back again, and she began below. The Under-world being in contact with machinery, which, however perfect, still needs some little thought outside habit, had probably retained perforce rather more initiative, if less of every other human character, than the Upper. And when other meat failed them, they turned to what old habit had hitherto forbidden. So I say I saw it in my last view of the world of Eight Hundred and Two Thousand Seven Hundred and One. It may be as wrong an explanation as mortal wit could invent. It is how the thing shaped itself to me, and as that I give it to you.
'After the fatigues, excitements, and terrors of the past days, and in spite of my grief, this seat and the tranquil view and the warm sunlight were very pleasant. I was very tired and sleepy, and soon my theorizing passed into dozing. Catching myself at that, I took my own hint, and spreading myself out upon the turf I had a long and refreshing sleep.
'I awoke a little before sunsetting. I now felt safe against being caught napping by the Morlocks, and, stretching myself, I came on down the hill towards the White Sphinx. I had my crowbar in one hand, and the other hand played with the matches in my pocket.
'And now came a most unexpected thing. As I approached the pedestal of the sphinx I found the bronze valves were open. They had slid down into grooves.
'At that I stopped short before them, hesitating to enter.
'Within was a small apartment, and on a raised place in the corner of this was the Time Machine. I had the small levers in my pocket. So here, after all my elaborate preparations for the siege of the White Sphinx, was a meek surrender. I threw my iron bar away, almost sorry not to use it.
'A sudden thought came into my head as I stooped towards the portal. For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks. Suppressing a strong inclination to laugh, I stepped through the bronze frame and up to the Time Machine. I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned. I have suspected since that the Morlocks had even partially taken it to pieces while trying in their dim way to grasp its purpose.
'Now as I stood and examined it, finding a pleasure in the mere touch of the contrivance, the thing I had expected happened. The bronze panels suddenly slid up and struck the frame with a clang. I was in the dark—trapped. So the Morlocks thought. At that I chuckled gleefully.
'I could already hear their murmuring laughter as they came towards me. Very calmly I tried to strike the match. I had only to fix on the levers and depart then like a ghost. But I had overlooked one little thing. The matches were of that abominable kind that light only on the box.
'You may imagine how all my calm vanished. The little brutes were close upon me. One touched me. I made a sweeping blow in the dark at them with the levers, and began to scramble into the saddle of the machine. Then came one hand upon me and then another. Then I had simply to fight against their persistent fingers for my levers, and at the same time feel for the studs over which these fitted. One, indeed, they almost got away from me. As it slipped from my hand, I had to butt in the dark with my head—I could hear the Morlock's skull ring—to recover it. It was a nearer thing than the fight in the forest, I think, this last scramble.
'But at last the lever was fitted and pulled over. The clinging hands slipped from me. The darkness presently fell from my eyes. I found myself in the same grey light and tumult I have already described.

Remarks at a Fund-raising Dinner for Senator Charles H. Percy in Chicago, Illinois
January 19, 1983
I thank you all very much, and, Chuck, thank you for your very kind words. And reverend clergy, Governor Thompson and the Senators who are here, our Representative, you ladies and gentlemen, I see a lot of old friends around this hall tonight and, well, some new ones also. I thank you for proving once again that Thomas Wolfe was wrong, at least about this State. It is good to come home again, especially when home is Illinois.
I'm a little hard pressed here with some of the things that have already been said. I thought that I might be reduced to taking a cue from Ted Stevens when he told us the temperature in Fairbanks and I might just have to recite, "When out of the night, which was 50 below, and into the din and the glare there stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks"— [laughter] —"all dirty and loaded for bear."

XXXIII President of the United States: 1945 - 1953
103 - Letter to Secretary Forrestal on the Atomic Weapons Tests at Eniwetok.
May 17, 1948
Dear Mr. Secretary:
The Atomic Energy Commission has reported to me on the results of the tests of atomic weapons at the Commission's Eniwetok Proving Ground. The Chairman and members of the Commission join me in congratulations to you on the work of Joint Task Force Seven which carried out the tests for the Commission.
The successful completion of this mission is an outstanding example of cooperation between the Agencies responsible for the military defense of the nation and those responsible for the scientific and technical development of an important means of defense.
Please convey to the Commander of Join Task Force Seven and to all of the member of the National Military Establishment who contributed to the success of the undertaking my commendation for a job well done.
I know you share my feelings of gratification at the accomplishments of the Commission's Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, as indicated by the results of the test program. I have asked the Commission to convey my commendation to all the civilian personnel involved both in the development work leading up to these tests and in the actual conduct of the proof test program.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. TRUMAN
[The Honorable, the Secretary of Defense, Washington, D.C.]
Note: A White House release of May 17, summarizing the Commission's report, stated that the tests of three atomic weapons of improved design were successful in all respects, and that the results indicated very substantial progress. The release added that the President gave general approval of Commission plans to initiate further nuclear development based upon information gained from the tests.

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Remarks at a Fund-raising Dinner for Senator Charles H. Percy in Chicago, Illinois
January 19, 1983
We, the members of this pivotal generation , must remember the words of a wise philosopher who once said, "However memory brings back this moment to your minds, let it be able to say to you, 'That was a great moment. It was the beginning of a new era.'"
Let us each be able to say, "I responded to the call however I could. I studied, I loved, I labored unsparingly and hopefully to be worthy of my generation."
Yes, America's been sorely tried; but if we pull together, we can draw on a deep reservoir of courage and strength. We Americans have never been quitters, and we're not about to quit now. As Franklin Roosevelt once said, "We have plowed the furrow and planted the good seed. The hard beginning is over."
It was faith in God and in ourselves that made this country great; the greatest country on Earth, indeed. And together we'll make America great again, all of us together.
God bless you, and thank you all.
Note: The President spoke at 8:47 p.m. in the International Ballroom at the Conrad Hilton Hotel.

The Most Popular Game in History Almost Didn’t Pass ‘Go’
Jennifer Latson
Nov. 5, 2014
Nov. 5, 1935: Parker Brothers begins marketing the game Monopoly
When Parker Brothers rolled the dice on “the real estate game,” it did so reluctantly. The game seemed too long, too complicated, and too niche: who, after all, would get excited about buying imaginary realty in Atlantic City?
The brainchild of an out-of-work heating contractor named Charles Darrow, according to the New York Times, the game that became Monopoly wildly outperformed Parker Brothers’ modest expectations, becoming the most popular game in history. Although they initially rejected Darrow’s offer to sell it to them, the powers that be at Parker Brothers changed their minds after the independently manufactured game began flying off the shelves of a Philadelphia department store, though the company still believed the game was a fad that would soon fade. They began marketing it as Monopoly on this day, Nov. 5, in 1935.
Monopoly sales soon made Darrow so rich that he abandoned the heating trade for a hothouse hobby: growing orchids. According to Hasbro, which acquired Parker Brothers in 1991, more than 275 million Monopoly games — including more than 6 billion green houses and 2.25 billion red hotels — have been sold since 1935.

McVeigh Case Lawyers Argue for Death, Life
June 13, 1997 RICHARD A. SERRANO TIMES STAFF WRITER
DENVER — Four lawyers faced a Denver jury Thursday morning and each of them urged the 12 Coloradans to decide whether Oklahoma City bomber Timothy J. McVeigh should be legally executed or die the death of an old man in prison.
Prosecutor Beth Wilkinson turned toward McVeigh and in a voice cracking but loud enough for the jury to hear said: "Look into the eyes of a coward and tell him you will have courage. . . . Tell him he is no patriot. He is a traitor and deserves to die."
The defense lawyers then said that if McVeigh were executed, it may never be known if others were involved in the bombing. And if there were others who are not known, the defense hinted, then they are free to kill again.
Prosecutors Wilkinson and Hartzler scoffed at such suggestions. They said that the real issue is making McVeigh pay

Lyndon B. Johnson
XXXVI President of the United States: 1963 - 1969
141 - Remarks at the Dedication of the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of History and Technology.
January 22, 1964
Mr. Carmichael, our beloved Chief Justice, members of the Board of Regents, ladies and gentlemen:
The gathering of knowledge is the supreme achievement of man.
Four hundred years ago, Francis Bacon could immodestly declare: "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." Bacon would find this new Museum of History and Technology of the Smithsonian Institution to his taste, and to his aims.
For I believe this new museum will do that which causes us all to celebrate: it will excite a thirst for knowledge--and to promote it for all the people.
My earliest predecessor, George Washington, in a letter to the officers of the American Philosophical Society, founded in Philadelphia by Franklin, wrote these
words:
"If I have a wish ungratified, it is that the arts and sciences may continue to flourish with increasing lustre."
It was also Washington who said, in his Farewell Address:
"Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it should be enlightened."
So it pleases me a great deal tonight to come here to perform the role of dedicator in this building of knowledge which is the inheritor of all that has gone before.
Here, for all to see and for all to absorb, will be exhibited the pageant of history of a youthful nation that is today as it was when Jefferson described it: "In the full tide of successful experiment."
I would hope that there will come to this building the children of the Nation. For here is recorded, as William Faulkner expressed it, the agony and the sweat of the human spirit, the victory of the freedom and the genius of our country. Here, young children see, with their own eyes, yes, even touch with their own hands, the ripe fruit of America's historical harvest.
Whitney's cotton gin, Singer's sewing machine, McCormick's reaper, Edison's phonograph, Bell's telephone--they are all here, a part of this treasure-house of our inheritance.
The more we understand the meaning of the past, the more we appreciate the winning of the future.
I hope that every schoolchild who visits this Capital, every foreign visitor who comes to this First City, and every doubter who hesitates before the onrush of tomorrow will, some way, spend some time in this great museum. In truth, this new museum could become an open window through which could look the children of Asia and Western Europe and South America and the Soviet Union.
What greater thrust toward peace is there than the invitation to young people of the world, particularly those behind the Iron Curtain, to come visit us and to see this museum of history ?
Why not open our historical doors and let the visitors see what kind of people we really are--and what sort of people we really come from?
They would instantly realize that we were not always the affluent nation and the powerful nation and the fortunate nation. From the exhibits in this museum they would learn that the demagogues' dingy slogans around the world have no real basis in fact.
Our ancestors moved across the prairies, working to build something where nothing existed before. Yes, this museum would show to the skeptics and the doubters that what we have today was wrenched out of the earth and the sweat of pioneers who, in the face of a thousand disappointments, refused to ever abandon the American dream.
We would show the visitors from the newly emerging nations that their labors are not in vain--for the future belongs to those who work for it. Let them go back to their home secure in the knowledge that from coarse and barren beginnings come the fulfillments of hope. They will have seen the evidence here.
If this museum did nothing more than illuminate our heritage so that others could see a little better our legacy, however so small the glimpse, it would fulfill a most noble purpose.
I am so glad to be here with you tonight.
I am always glad to be where America is.
Note: The President spoke at the Museum of History and Technology building in Washington at 9 p.m. In his opening words he referred to Leonard Carmichael, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren, Chancellor.

By any means necessary is a translation of a phrase used by the French intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre in his play Dirty Hands. It entered the popular civil rights culture through a speech given by Malcolm X at the Organization of Afro-American Unity Founding Rally on June 28, 1964. It is generally considered to leave open all available tactics for the desired ends, including violence

Wedding Vows For Gates' Dad?
By Jean Godden
Times Staff Columnist
Still in the realm of speculation are the rumors - so far unconfirmed - that there are more wedding bells ahead for the Gates family. Sources say Seattle Art Museum director Mimi Gardner Neill will wed attorney Bill Gates Jr., father of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates III, in the next few weeks. The date that's been whispered around: Sept. 7.
Are the rumors true? Can't say for sure. At the moment, Neill is fly-fishing in Mongolia with a group that includes art collector Jane Davis and Neill's friend Karen Bocz.

The Stand - The Complete & Uncut Edition
Chapter 48
“What they call you, boy?”
“The Trashcan Man.”
“The whut?” For one horrible moment the dead doll’s eyes rested on Trashcan’s face. “You jokin me, boy? Ain’t nobody jokes The Kid. An you better believe that happy crappy.”
“I do believe it,” Trashcan said earnestly, “but that’s what they call me. Because I used to light fires in people’s trashcans and mailboxes and stuff. I set old lady Semple’s pension check on fire. I got sent to the reformatory for it. I also burned down the Methodist Church in Powtanville, Indiana.”
“Didja? ” The Kid asked, delighted. “Boy, you sound as crazy as a rat in a shithouse. That’s okay. I like crazy people. I’m crazy myself. Tripped right outta my fuckin gourd. Trashcan Man, huh? I like that. We make a pair. The fucking Kid and the fucking Trashcan Man. Shake, Trash.”
The Kid offered his hand and Trash shook it as quick as he could so that The Kid could put both hands back on the wheel. They whizzed around a bend and there was a Bekins semi nearly blocking the whole highway and Trashcan put his hands over his face, prepared to make an immediate transition to the astral plane. The Kid never turned a hair. The deuce coupe skittered along the left side of the highway like a waterbug and they skinned by the cab of the truck with a coat of paint to spare.
“Close,” Trashcan said when he felt he could speak without a quaver in his voice.
“Hey, boy,” The Kid said flatly. Then one of his doll’s eyes closed in a solemn wink. “Don’t tell me—I’ll tell you. How’s that beer? Pretty fuckin gnarly, ain’t it? Hits the spot after ridin that kiddy-bike, don’t it?”
“It sure does,” Trashcan Man said, and took another big swallow of warm Coors. He was insane, but not yet insane enough to disagree with The Kid while he was driving. Nowhere near.
“Well, no sense beatin around the motherfuckin bush,” The Kid said, reaching back over the seat to get his own can of suds. “I guess we’re goin to the same place.”
“I guess so,” Trash said cautiously.
“Gonna jine up,” The Kid said. “Goin west. Gonna get in on the motherfuckin ground floor. You believe that happy crappy?”
“I guess so.”
“You been gettin dreams about that boogeyman in the black flight-suit, ain’tcha?”
“You mean the priest.”
“I always mean what I say an say what I mean,” The Kid said flatly. “Don’t tell me, ya fuckin bug, I’ll tell you. It’s a black flight-suit, and the guy’s got goggles. Like in a John Wayne movie about Big Two. Goggles so big you can’t see his motherfuckin face. Spooky old cock-knocker, ain’t he?”
“Yeah,” Trashcan said, and sipped his warm beer. His head was beginning to buzz.
The Kid hunched over the orange steering wheel and began to imitate a fighter pilot—one who had done his stuff in Big Two, presumably—in a dogfight. The deuce coupe rollercoastered alarmingly from one side of the road to the other as he imitated loops and dives and barrel rolls.
“Neeeeyaaaahhhh… eheheheheheh… budda-budda-budda… take that, ya fuckin kraut… Cap’n! Bandits at twelve o’clock!… Turn the air-cooled cannon on em, ya fuckin dipstick… takka… takka… takka-takka-takka! We got em, sir! All clear… HowOOOGAH! Stand down, fellers! HowOOOOOOOGAH! ”
His face gained no expression as he went through this fantasy; not a single well-oiled hair fell from grace as he jerked the car back into its lane and pounded on up the road. Trashcan Man’s heart thudded heavily in his chest. A light sheen of sweat had oiled his body. He drank his beer. He had to make wee-wee.
“But he don’t scare me,” The Kid said, as if the former topic of conversation had never lapsed. “Fuck no. He’s a hard baby, but The Kid has handled hard babies before. I shut em up and then I shut em down, just like The Boss says. You believe that happy crappy?”
“Sure,” Trash said.
“You dig The Boss?”
“Sure,” Trash said. He hadn’t the slightest idea who The Boss was or had been.
“Fuckin better dig The Boss. Listen, you know what I’m gonna do?”
“Go west?” Trashcan Man hazarded. It seemed safe.
The Kid looked impatient. “After I get there, I mean. After. You know what I’m gonna do after?”
“No. What?”
“I’m gonna lay low for a while. Check out the situation. Can you dig that happy crappy?”
“Sure,” Trash said.
“Fuckin A. Don’t tell me, I’ll fuckin tell you. Just check it out. Check out the big man. Then…”
The Kid fell silent, brooding over the top of his orange steering wheel.
“Then what?” Trashcan asked hesitantly.
“Gonna shut him down. Send him around dead man’s curve. Put him out to pasture on the motherfuckin Cadillac Ranch. You believe it?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“I’m gonna take over,” The Kid said confidently. “Gonna strip his gears and leave him at the Cadillac Ranch. You stick with me, Trashman or whatever the fuck ya call yaself.

John F. Kennedy
XXXV President of the United States: 1961 - 1963
345 - Remarks Upon Presenting the Distinguished Service Medal to Gen. Emmett O'Donnell.
September 6, 1963
I JUST want to express a warm welcome to all of you at the White House. We are very glad to have some members of the Congress here. I wish they would come up forward--Senators Smathers, Dominick, Barry, Ken. Won't you gentlemen come up and join us? We are all friends.
Mr. Secretary.
[At this point Secretary of the Air Force Eugene M. Zuckert read the citation. The President then resumed speaking. ]
I want to express, I am sure, the sentiments of us all in welcoming the General to the White House and also in presenting him on behalf of the United States with this decoration.
While it is given for his recent distinguished service in the Pacific to the United States, the reason for this ceremony is that we wish to honor one of the most distinguished careers in the history of the United States Air Force. General O'Donnell is widely and affectionately known in the Air Force and throughout all of the Armed Forces of our country--a distinguished record in World War II, at the beginning of the war in the Philippines, later in Java, later throughout the entire Pacific. He led the first B-29 raid on Tokyo. He led our first air groups into action in the Korean war and had an outstanding record during that struggle.
The Pacific has been his home, and the air over the Pacific has been, in a sense, his domain. We are very glad to welcome him here and we wish him every success in the future, and regardless of where he goes and what he may do, he will still be part of the United States Air Force. I am sure that he will carry with him the realization that the country is most indebted to him.
General, we are glad to have you here, and we thank you.
Note: The President spoke from the steps outside his office near the Flower Garden at 11 a.m. In his opening remarks he referred to U.S. Senators George A. Smathers of Florida, Peter H. Dominick of Colorado, Barry Goldwater of Arizona, and Kenneth Keating of New York.
General O'Donnell served as Commander in Chief, Pacific Air Forces, from August 1, 1959, to July 31, 1963.
