XLIII President of the United States: 2001 - 2009
Remarks at an Armed Forces Farewell Tribute to General Peter Pace and an Armed Forces Hail in Honor of Admiral Michael G. Mullen as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at Fort Myer, Virginia
October 1, 2007
Mr. Vice President, Mrs. Cheney, Secretary Gates, members of the Cabinet, Members of Congress, members of the diplomatic corps, members of the finest military ever, that United States military, Secretary Rumsfeld, General Myers, members of the Pace and Mullen families, and distinguished guests: Today we pay tribute to an outstanding Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and we welcome his distinguished successor.
Ceremonies like this are a storied military tradition. It is a time when families, friends, and comrades honor those who have fulfilled great duties to their nation. It is a time when we show appreciation to those who step forward to assume new obligations. It's a time when we make generous use of words like "honor" and "character." Sometimes those words are used too often. In the case of the two men we celebrate today, those words cannot be used too much.

General Pace was a good student and a good athlete. His mom said the general has been good at everything he's ever done. Some of you may think mothers are required to say only admiring things about their sons. Well, take it from me, it's not always the case. [Laughter]

General Pace's dad died before he could see his son reach the height of his career, yet he always knew that his son would be a success. His family believed in his potential, and they weren't the only ones. There's something about General Pete Pace that makes believers out of nearly everyone.

President Bush Attends Armed Forces Farewell Tribute in Honor of General Peter Pace and Armed Forces Hail in Honor of Admiral Michael Mullen
Fort Myer, Virginia
11:47 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Vice President, Mrs. Cheney, Secretary Gates, members of the Cabinet, members of Congress, members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of the finest military ever, that United States military, Secretary Rumsfeld, General Myers, members of the Pace and Mullen family and distinguished guests. Today we pay tribute to an outstanding Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and we welcome his distinguished successor.
Ceremonies like this are a storied military tradition. It is a time when families, friends and comrades honor those who have fulfilled great duties to their nation. It is a time when we show admiration to those who step forward to assume new obligations. It's a time when we make generous use of words like "honor" and "character." Sometimes those words are used too often. In the case of the two men we celebrate today, those words cannot be used too much.
Admiral Mike Mullen comes to this post with a broad and unique range of talents and experience. Some of you may not know that his parents were highly-regarded members of the Hollywood community, who worked for some of the greatest entertainers of the day. Many people are surprised when told about the Admiral's show business roots. After all, he's humble, well-grounded, and filled with common sense. (Laughter.) Not exactly what one thinks about when they think of Hollywood values. (Laughter.)
Admiral Mullen left California to attend the United States Naval Academy to pursue a career in military service. He soon found himself stationed on a destroyer on the gun line off the coast of Vietnam. During that tour, Admiral Mullen was part of operations so intense that the gun barrels on his ship glowed red. That was the beginning of a distinguished career.
The Admiral has commanded three ships, an aircraft carrier battle group, and the U.S. Second Fleet. He served as the commander of all U.S. naval forces in Europe and the NATO Joint Force Command. And later, as Chief of Naval Operations, he championed the construction of new types of vessels needed to deal with the threats of the 21st century.
Admiral Mike Mullen understands what's at stake in the war on terror. He was on duty at the Pentagon when Flight 77 made its doomed plunge. He felt the plane slam into the building. He saw the carnage and devastation. And like all who worked there that terrible day, he still carries the pain and the loss. Admiral Mullen was there when war reached America's shore -- and he brings the talent, vision and judgment needed to help us fight and win that war.
As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mullen will follow his strong belief that every member of our Armed Forces is, as he put it, part of "one team and one fight." He will continue to set a sterling example to our men and women in uniform. He will bring judgment and candor to decisions that may mean the difference between life and death for young Americans who are serving our nation. He will demonstrate the same love of country and dedication to duty that inspired his sons to follow him into military service.
Admiral Mike Mullen is a man of decency and honor, and I congratulate you on your new assignment. And I know your parents would be proud. And I thank you and Deborah and Jack and Michael for your service to our nation. (Applause.)
As Admiral Mullen begins his service as Chairman, he is fortunate to have as an example the man we honor today. General Pete Pace is one of the most respected and accomplished military leaders I have ever known. He helped craft America's response to an unprecedented assault on our homeland. He helped liberate two nations from brutal tyrannies and helped bring freedom to millions of people. He began the process of transforming our military into a more efficient and effective force.
Yet these accomplishments do not begin to tell the full story of this remarkable man. That story begins in Teaneck, New Jersey, where General Pace grew up the proud son of an Italian immigrant. His dad worked two and sometimes three jobs to provide for his family. His mom attended church service every Sunday, and, according to the good General, still lights candles to pray that her children are happy, healthy and safe.
General Pace was a good student and a good athlete. His mom said the General has been good at everything he's ever done. Some of you may think mothers are required to say only admiring things about their sons. Well, take it from me, it's not always the case. (Laughter.)
General Pace's dad died before he could see his son reach the height of his career -- yet he always knew that his son would be a success. His family believed in his potential -- and they weren't the only ones. There is something about General Pete Pace that makes believers out of nearly everyone. That includes the men who served with him in Vietnam and whom he led during some of the most vicious urban combat in American military history. It includes the troops he led in Somalia who looked to him for resolve and guidance during difficult times. It includes Marines who look with pride on the first of their ranks to lead the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It includes two Secretaries of Defense who relied on the General during tough and trying times. And it includes a President who has counted on General Pace's candor and sound judgment during some of the most difficult times in our country's history.
During his service at the Pentagon, General Pete Pace has shown us many talents. He's shown an intellect sharpened by post-graduate studies at George Washington and Harvard. He's shown us great oratorical skills -- this is a man who frequently speaks without notes -- I really don't recommend this to everyone. (Laughter.) He's shown a sharp wit. When a Naval commander once made an edgy joke in front of the Secretary of Defense, the General stepped right in and gave the young officer some advice. He said, "Never let a promising career stand in the way of a good joke." (Laughter.)
The most important attribute General Pete Pace has shown us is a quiet strength. It is a strength that has won the admiration of friends and peers. It is a strength built on the love and support of a strong and devoted wife, Lynne, and their family, Peter, Lynsey and Tiffany. It is a strength that gave Pete solace in the tough, and sometimes bitter, world of Washington, D.C. It helped him bring selflessness to a city filled with egos, and a dignity to a political process that might have worn down lesser men. He now leaves active service with a distinguished team in place and a talented successor. And yet I also have the sense that General Pace is not going to end it all here. He's a man who has always put country first and he will find new ways to serve.
General Pete Pace always understood what's important. It wasn't titles received, or honors bestowed -- and it certainly was not the good graces of official Washington. What mattered most were the young men and women who serve our country and risk their lives for its honored cause. He kept a picture on his desk of the first Marine who died under his command in Vietnam. He can still recite the names of all other Marines who died under that first command -- and because this is a man with a tender heart, sometimes it's hard for him to get through all the names without choking up a little bit.
Pete has devoted his life to those who wear our country's uniform. And they are devoted to General Pace. They're among the hundreds who've received his advice and friendship. They're among the thousands who lined up at military bases during his final tour to shake his hand and wish him well and say goodbye. They're among the millions whose names he will never know but who will always remember him. And they include that single soldier who came up to the General on his last visit to the war zone. He looked at General Pace with gratitude, respect and pride, and said, "Thanks for your service. We'll take it from here."
General Pace, throughout your life, you have led those troops to honorable achievements and into the pages of history. Because of your example, you can know that with courage, valor and confidence, they will take it from here.
And so Godspeed to my friend, General Pete Pace. Thanks for your courage. Thanks for your leadership. And thanks for your service to a country we love. (Applause.)

On February 27, 1888, Edison met with chrono-photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who had just given a lecture on "Animals in Motion" at the Music Hall in Orange, New Jersey. Together they announced that they would seek to combine the Edison phonograph, which recorded and reproduced sound, with Muybridge's zoopraxiscope, which projected a rapid succession of painted images onto a screen to create the illusion of motion (the painted images were based on his serial photographs). Eight months later, in October, Edison concluded that he could develop his own, much more efficient system for showing motion pictures. At first the inventor imagined a system that used a glass cylinder to hold a spiraling sequence of tiny photographic images. After meeting with Jules-Etienne Marey at the 1889 Paris Exposition, Edison shifted his attention to developing a motion picture system where the images would appear on a photographic filmstrip.
Edison's initial approach to developing a motion picture system that could "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear," was to apply the technology of audio recording to the visual realm in a quite literal fashion. Although these efforts were doomed to failure, they were prescient in many ways, as laser disk, DVD and CD technologies demonstrate. Nonetheless, in the early 1890s, the efforts to record and play back a series of tiny images on a cylindrical surface similar to Edison's phonograph faced insurmountable problems.

Harry S. Truman
XXXIII President of the United States: 1945-1953
33 - Remarks to Officers of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
February 18, 1949
IT IS GOOD to see all of you. I wish it were possible for me to attend every veterans meeting to which I am invited. It is impossible, though I am glad it was possible to get you in this afternoon.
I am familiar with your problems, and I am familiar with your organization, having been a member of it since 1919. I have been to a number of your national conventions. I was at one of your encampments when I was Vice President, if you remember. I couldn't get around last year; I had too many other engagements I
I hope that you can continue your constructive program. I hope it will be possible for you to help me to help the veterans of the country understand that this United States is theirs. They fought to maintain it. It was due to their efforts that we have been able to continue the constitutional government instituted in 1789 by the greatest group of young men who ever got together to organize a government. That was the Constitutional Convention of 1787, implemented in 1789.
In order to maintain that government, we must understand that it has certain limitations. It is your Government. Your Congress and your Governors and your State legislators are all a part of it, and there are certain limits to which its financial welfare cannot be stretched. I want you to bear that in mind very carefully when you are considering the welfare of the veteran.
I don't think that in the history of the country any veteran has ever had the opportunity that was presented to those returning from this war, and I am happy to say that a vast majority of them took advantage of those opportunities.
They are now the businessmen and the citizens and the executives in every walk of life. There are around 17 or 18 million veterans in the United States at the present time, and they are the young men of the country. They are connected with at least 40 million of the population of 140 millions. So it is as necessary for you to assist the Government as represented by your President, and Congress and the Governors and the State legislators to maintain that Government, and see that it maintains the solvency that is necessary for its continuance, as it is for me as President to try to maintain it now in this troubled world.
I am counting on you for help and support to carry out those policies which will make the country a better place in which to live and one which will give the rest of the world an example of how a government, of and by and for the people, can function. I know you can do that.
Thank you very much for coming over. I appreciate having you.

Gary Ridgway Biography
Murderer (1949–)
Serial killer Gary Leon Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer, murdered at least 49 women in Washington state before he was caught in 2001.
Synopsis
Serial killer Gary Leon Ridgway was born on February 18, 1949, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He held a job painting trucks for 30 years and was married three times. He began murdering women in 1982 and was caught in 2001 when a DNA test revealed a match. Ridgway told investigators he killed as many as 75-80 women along Route 99 in south King County, Washington. He was convicted and received multiple life sentences.
Background
Gary Leon Ridgway was born on February 18, 1949, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Raised near Seattle's Pacific Highway, a deprived neighborhood near SeaTac airport, Ridgway was a poor student and was sent to Vietnam after high school. When he returned, he got a job painting trucks, which he kept for 30 years. Though he married three times and was fanatical about religion, Ridgway was a frequent customer of prostitutes.
Green River Killings
Ridgway's slayings began in 1982, when young runaways and prostitutes began disappearing from state Route 99 in south King County, Washington. He brought many of them to his home and strangled them, then left them in woodsy, remote sites. The first few bodies turned up along the now-notorious Green River.
Dubbed the Green River Killer, Ridgway eluded the law until 2001, when King County sheriff Dave Reichert, the first officer assigned to the case in 1982, called a meeting to re-examine evidence using newly developed DNA-testing technology. The analysis produced a match between evidence from the victims and Ridgway, and he was charged with four counts of aggravated murder in December 2001. Ridgway eventually pleaded guilty to 48 counts of aggravated first-degree murder.
Multiple Life Sentences
Facing the prospect of execution, Ridgway made a deal with investigators to revealed where he'd hidden the bodies of several of the young women who'd never been found while also agreeing to plead guilty to any future cases where his confession could be substantiated by evidence. He was sentenced to life in prison in December 2003, having committed more murders than any serial killer in U.S. history.
An additional body was found in 2011, with Ridgway receiving another life sentence. In 2013, he claimed in an interview with a news media outlet that he had murdered 75-80 women, with speculation over Ridgway was telling the truth or seeking further attention.

George Bush
XLI President of the United States: 1989 - 1993
Exchange With Reporters on the Telephone Conversation with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev
January 11, 1991
Q. Mr. President, what can you tell us about the Gorbachev phone call?
The President. We've had a very interesting morning here and a very interesting phone call with President Gorbachev, Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu of Japan, and then a meeting with a lot of the Members of the House of Representatives on the Gulf situation. Now we're shifting our gears to this luncheon with two of our new Cabinet-level officers and, obviously, with one existing Cabinet member, Carla Hills, where our conversation will be both domestic and international. So, it's been a full day.
On the Gorbachev phone call, I won't give you the details of it, but it is very important as we move down the path here that we stay in close touch. And I was very pleased -- this was his call to me, and it was a discussion of the Gulf situation mainly. We also talked about the internal problems that he's facing. But I think the very fact he called in the true spirit of consultation says a lot not just about the U.S.-Soviet relationship but about the fact that it is not simply Iraq versus the United States; it is Iraq, indeed, versus the whole world. I think that's the symbolism of Mr. Gorbachev's call. And he had some ideas he wanted to discuss with me. And I respect his confidentiality, but it's the best sense of consultation. We are leaving no stone unturned to try to find a peaceful resolution of this question.
Q. TASS [Soviet news agency] said, Mr. President, that the conversation would be continued.
The President. Well, as you may know, I left out one meeting, and that is that I did meet with the Soviet Ambassador here following the Gorbachev call. But whether President Gorbachev and I talk again I'm not -- we didn't set a time. Perhaps we will. We've been in touch, and I will continue to stay in touch with him and with other world leaders to see if we cannot resolve this matter peacefully.
I might, as long -- take advantage of you all, but to say that I still feel that it would be very helpful to the last step for peace if the Congress would move and would support the so-called U.N. resolutions that are before the House now and will be before the Senate.
Q. What about the crackdown on the Baltics?
The President. There was not great discussion of that. I did, as you know, make clear in the statement issued by our Press Secretary the fact that the United States feels that the use of force particularly in the Baltics would be counterproductive. There was some discussion of the internal affairs of the Soviet Union when I talked to Mr. Gorbachev. He knows of my position, that we view the Baltics differently. They were not incorporated. We feel that they have a very different standing than other Republics, and I reiterated my position on that.
But it was mainly about the Gulf, although we did talk about this. And, of course, I am very hopeful that they can find a way to resolve these extraordinarily complex problems without resorting to force.
Q. Did he tell you his plans for Lithuania, whether he's going to impose -- --
The President. We didn't go into any detail.
Q. There was some discussion, Mr. President, that when you and Mr. Gorbachev met in Paris there was a tacit understanding that before we went to war in the Gulf we would clear it with the Soviets.
The President. There was no tacit understanding, but I'll guarantee you I'm going to continue to stay in very close touch with all the key players here -- the administration is; I can't do it all alone. But as I say, we talked to the Prime Minister of Japan this morning, and also to President Gorbachev. As you know, I had extensive consultations in the last few days with Prime Minister Major, President Mitterrand, Prime Minister Mulroney, and on and on.
So, there's no agreement. But the Soviet Union is very important in all of this, and they had a strong leadership role in the implementation of the United Nations resolutions. And I think it is most important that they be closely clued into whatever is to come.
Q. What was his message to you about the Gulf, if he talked about that?
The President. I'm not going to go into the details on it.
Q. I take it that you feel they remain a staunch member of the anti-Iraq coalition?
The President. We remain in sync on this -- as the way we look at this situation there. And they are absolutely convinced -- I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I think I can do this without fear of contradiction -- they are absolutely convinced that Saddam Hussein should get out of Kuwait in total compliance with the U.N. resolutions. And I am sure that that is their view.
Q. Did he ask for more time for sanctions to work?
The President. I'm not going to go into any details, but that would be incompatible with full implementation of the resolutions. So, I guess I could say no to that one.
Q. Did you repeat to him that the crackdown would be counterproductive -- --
The President. I will not go into any more detail. I had every opportunity to express the forcefully and long-held view of the United States on that question.
Q. Were there any new proposals or new approaches that were suggested?
Q. Sir, do you think you're going to get the vote?
The President. That was something again I'd rather not discuss in detail, but all of us are trying to think if there's something that we can do that will result in full compliance with the U.N. resolutions. And certainly that's true of Mr. Gorbachev. He has a lot of experts on that area in the government in the Soviet Union, and so you can assume that he was thinking innovatively. But again, I don't want to go into any more detail.
Thank you all very much.
Note: The exchange began at 12:10 p.m. in the Oval Office at the White House.

Remarks at an Armed Forces Farewell Tribute to General Peter Pace and an Armed Forces Hail in Honor of Admiral Michael G. Mullen as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at Fort Myer, Virginia
October 1, 2007
General Pete Pace always understood what's important. It wasn't the titles he received or the honors bestowed, and it certainly was not the good graces of official Washington. What mattered most were the young men and women who serve our country and risk their lives for its honored cause. He kept a picture on his desk of the first marine who died under his command in Vietnam. He can still recite the names of all other marines who died under that first command. And because this is a man with a tender heart, sometimes it's hard for him to get through all the names without choking up a little bit.

Clinton Choices: Exit Or Escalate?
Seattle Times News Services
WASHINGTON - With the humanitarian mission in Somalia turning more deadly and many in Congress attacking the U.S. military presence there, President Clinton is considering options ranging from significant escalation and combat to humiliating withdrawal.
A former Pentagon official, Don Snider, said that among the options under discussion is the deployment of at least 15,000 more soldiers.
Amid a flurry of high-level meetings on Somalia yesterday and today involving the president, administration officials declined to discuss what proposals are under consideration.
The alternatives, analysts said, are either to pull out all U.S. forces - an action that would probably cause the collapse of U.N. efforts in Somalia - or to hang on in an increasingly bloody war of attrition with Mohamed Farrah Aidid's forces, which are holding at least one U.S. soldier - and maybe eight - hostage.
Military strategists and analysts said the reinforcements Clinton dispatched to Somalia on Monday - a mechanized infantry company of about 200 men, four tanks and 14 Bradley Fighting Vehicles - are sufficient only to help protect troops already in Somalia but not to combat Aidid's forces. These troops, along with troops being rotated into Somalia to replace returning soldiers, bring the total dispatched Monday to about 600.
As a result, Pentagon officials "are talking about sending a division or a division and a half and to declare this a combat operation," said Snider, a retired Army colonel who until recently served at the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"It will be messy; that kind of urban warfare induces high casualties on both fighters and civilians," said Snider, now a military analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
Sending that many troops would be certain to fuel anger on Capitol Hill, where the Clinton administration is already battling lawmakers who want to pull out the 4,700 U.S. soldiers now in Somalia after 12 U.S. soldiers were killed there Sunday. It would also sharply reverse current policy of gradual disengagement.
A senior official who asked not to be identified suggested that Clinton was not about to order an abrupt withdrawal of troops from Somalia and that the basic goal remained "to draw down American troops as the security situation allows."
Clinton met today for an hour with his top national security aides, including Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Defense Secretary Les Aspin and Marine Gen. Joseph Hoar, the commander for the region. The group also met yesterday.
Clinton planned to spend much of today on the crisis, aides said.
Hoar's message to his bosses over the past two days reportedly was simple: The goals Aspin has set as conditions for the U.S. withdrawal cannot be met with the limited military presence in Somalia. Aides said before the meeting that they expect Hoar to encourage a political accommodation with Aidid.
In late August, Aspin declared that U.S. combat units would stay in Somalia until peace is restored, feuding warlords are disarmed and local police forces are patrolling city streets. Those remain the terms that the United States says must be met before troops are withdrawn.
"We didn't sign off on any of those goals," said a senior U.S. officer serving with Hoar who asked not to be named. "We were surprised by those goals - they're too ambitious for the forces we have in-country."
To achieve those goals militarily, "we'd have to knock Mogadishu off the face of the Earth," the officer said.
The thousands of additional troops needed for such a mission would never be approved, defense officials said, noting that several weeks ago Aspin rejected a call by Hoar's command to send armored vehicles to Somalia because "it would look bad" politically. The armored vehicles were sent only after Sunday's bloody clash.
Any military presence in Somalia is facing growing opposition on Capitol Hill, where Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., yesterday urged Clinton to "declare victory and get out."
"Remaining in Somalia will only cost more U.S. lives, squander U.S. power and commit the United States to an unending quagmire from which we cannot easily withdraw," Lott said.
Aspin, Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Clinton adviser David Gergen briefed more than 150 House and Senate members yesterday but failed to pacify many of them.
"I cannot support U.S. troops being in the situation of hostilities without an authorization of Congress," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Appropriations foreign operations subcommittee.
"We can't continue in that quagmire," said Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M.
"The administration needs a plan and needs it now. We're not hearing it yet," Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said after the closed session that lasted just over an hour.
Sixty-five House Republicans sent a letter to Clinton today declaring that "the Somalia policy your administration has pursued is a failure" and demanding a clear and concise description of U.S. policy on Somalia and a plan for the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
However, Christopher said recent attacks and the need to find missing Americans meant "it certainly is not the time for us to depart."

622 - The President's Meeting With the Press on His Departure From the Hospital.
November 19, 1966
THE PRESIDENT [replying to the question, "How are you?"]. I am glad to be going home.
Q. What do you look forward to doing out at the ranch, sir, in the next few weeks?
THE PRESIDENT. Working.
Q. How do you feel, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT. I feel pretty good.
Q. Do you still have aches and pains?
THE PRESIDENT. Some. Not as much as the first day or two.
Q. Mr. President, you have surely boomed the sale of tapioca. How do you feel about that?
THE PRESIDENT. Well, I like it.
Q. Mr. President, how is your voice? Do you feel more comfortable?
THE PRESIDENT. It is hoarse. It has some ache. It will have for several weeks, but I think it is going to be all right.
Q. Mr. President, some of the doctors said they thought the tonal quality of your voice might be a bit different. Do you think it is different?
THE PRESIDENT. I can't tell. You will be a better judge than I.
Q. Mr. President, how do you plan to spend the rest of the year?
THE PRESIDENT. Well, I just finished up the work that was rather important here. I cleared my desk with Mr. Rostow. I had a rather nice conversation with Secretary McNamara. I visited with Secretary Rusk yesterday. I expect Mr. Rostow, Secretary Rusk, Mr. McCloy, and others to be visiting us next week.1
1 See Item 626.
I spent some time this morning on the budget. So from now until January we will have a rather full workload, but we will try to get some sun and some relaxation. And we will at least be in the surroundings that we like most.
Q. How long do you think you will be at the ranch, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT. I expect we will be in and out. But I would think we will be there until just before Congress resumes.
Q. So we may not see you until January?
THE PRESIDENT. I thought you were going with me.
Q. We will be down.
THE PRESIDENT. Sorry about the football game, Frank.2 They called me, though, from Austin last night and said they were having a special show for you this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
2 Frank Reynolds, ABC News. Mr. Reynolds in a television broadcast the evening before had stated that the President would be returning to Texas "followed by a planeload of weeping reporters" who because of the trip would miss seeing a major collegiate football game.
Q. That's very kind--thank you very much, sir.
Q. Mr. President, do you have any special instructions from Mrs. Johnson?
THE PRESIDENT. She is never short of instructions.
Q. The doctors have said they want you to take it easy. Are the doctors going to be successful?
THE PRESIDENT. Yes.
Q. Does she think you talk too much these days, Mr. President?
MRS. JOHNSON. No. I think he is behaving very well.
Q. Mrs. Johnson, what are these here? What is in this basket?
MRS. JOHNSON. These are a gift to me for our wedding anniversary. They are daffodils. I am going to take them home to the ranch and plant them by the front gate so they will say "hello" in March.
Q. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
THE PRESIDENT. I have reviewed all of the messages I have received from the heads of state and even little children. We have a heart full of gratitude to our country and to the people of the world as we leave this great institution, the doctors, the nurses, and all of those who worked with us and prayed for us, and particularly the humanitarians around the world who were concerned about our indisposition.
We thank all of you for your interest and we think that we are mighty lucky that everything is all right.
Reporter: Thank you.

ALICE: Excuse me, sir. Have you seen a rather large white rabbit with a yellow waistcoat and white gloves here about?
(Wordlessly, McCoy points in the direction the rabbit went. The girl curtseys nicely)
ALICE: Thank you very much.

Douglas Engelbart
Douglas Engelbart, (born January 30, 1925, Portland, Oregon, U.S.—died July 2, 2013, Atherton, California), American inventor whose work beginning in the 1950s led to his patent for the computer mouse, the development of the basic graphical user interface, and groupware. Engelbart won the 1997 A.M. Turing Award, the highest honour in computer science, for his “inspiring vision of the future of interactive computing and the invention of key technologies to help realize this vision.”
Engelbart grew up on a farm near Portland. Following two years of enlisted service as a radar technician for the U.S. Navy in World War II, he completed a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at Oregon State University in 1948. He soon became dissatisfied with his electrical engineering job at the Ames Research Center, located at Moffett Field, California, and in December 1950 had the inspiration that would drive the rest of his professional life.
Engelbart’s dream was to use computers to connect individuals in a network that would allow them to share and update information in “real time.” He combined this idea of collaborative software, or groupware, with his experience interpreting radar displays and with ideas he gleaned from an Atlantic Monthly article by Vannevar Bush, “As We May Think,” to envision networked computers employing a graphical user interface. After receiving a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1955, he stayed on as an acting assistant professor for a year before accepting a position with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI; now SRI International) in Menlo Park, California.
In 1963 Engelbart was given funding by SRI to start his own research laboratory, the Augmentation Research Center, where he worked on inventing and perfecting various devices—such as the computer mouse, the multiple window display, and hypermedia (the linking of texts, images, video, and sound files within a single document)—for inputting, manipulating, and displaying data. Together with a colleague at SRI, William English, he eventually perfected a variety of input devices—including joysticks, light pens, and track balls—that are now common. Prior to Engelbart’s inventions, laborious and error-prone keypunch cards or manually set electronic switches were necessary to control computers, and data had to be printed before it could be viewed. His work made it possible for ordinary people to use computers.
Early in 1967 Engelbart’s laboratory became the second site on the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), the primary precursor to the Internet. On December 9, 1968, at a computer conference in San Francisco, Engelbart demonstrated a working real-time collaborative computer system known as NLS (oNLine System). Using NLS, he and a colleague (back in Menlo Park) worked on a shared document in one window (using keyboard and mouse input devices) while at the same time conducting the world’s first public computer video conference in another window. Engelbart continued his research, building increasingly sophisticated input and display devices and improving the graphical user interface, but because of budget cuts at SRI most of his research staff migrated to other institutions such as Xerox Corporation’s Palo Alto Research Center in Palo Alto, California.
In 1977 SRI sold Engelbart’s NLS groupware system to Tymshare, Incorporated, a telephone networking company that renamed it Augment and sought to make it into a commercially viable office automation system. As the last remaining member of his research laboratory, and with SRI showing no further interest in his work, Engelbart joined Tymshare. In 1984 Tymshare was acquired by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation, where Engelbart worked on information systems. In 1989 he founded the Bootstrap Institute, a research and consulting firm. Over the following decade he finally began to receive recognition for his innovations.

(Enterprise is orbiting a very green planet, and a young female Yeoman is getting a signature from the Captain.)
KIRK: Anything from the landing party?
SPOCK: They should be sending up a report momentarily, Captain. (Kirk stretches and groans) Something wrong?
KIRK: A kink in my back. (behind his back the Yeoman starts to massage it) That's it. A little higher, please. Push. Push hard. Dig it in there, Mister
(Spock steps forward and Kirk realises who is massaging his lower back)
