PINK FLOYD
"A Great Day For Freedom"
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbors turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey

Stark Raving Dad [ The Simpsons ]
[Bart jots down a message] Uh huh. New Bedlam Asylum. Loves us. Needs us. Fears he may never see us again. Got it. [hangs up] Michael Jackson, woo hoo! I love you, man!
Bart relays the message...
Bart: Hey, Mom! Dad's in a mental institution!
Marge: Oh, my God... Mother was right!
Bart hums `Beat It' and does the moonwalk. Meanwhile...
Man: Don't you worry. Your family's going to be here before you know it.
Patient: Forget it, pal. There's only one way out of here, and it ain't pretty.
Homer: What's that?
Patient: Dating a nurse.
Homer: [whining] Oh!
Back at home...
Marge: I told you kids you were going to send your father to the crazy house!
Bart: No, Mom, you said poor house.
Marge: I said crazy house.
Bart: Poor house.
Marge: Crazy house.
Bart: Poor house.
Marge: Crazy house!
Marge calls the asylum...
Hello, you have reached the New Bedlam ``Wrongly Committed'' Hot-line. All of our operators are currently busy. Please stand by. [Muzak is `Crazy', Patsy Cline's biggest hit

Meanwhile, The Man shows Homer around the asylum.
Man: Homer, this is Floyd. He's an idiot savant. Give him any two numbers, and he can multiply them in his head, just like that.
Homer: Okay. Five times nine.
Floyd: Forty-five.
Homer: Wow!
He also introduces the taciturn Chief, who says, `Hello.' The doctors and nurses rush over excitedly. ``Well, it's about time somebody reached out to me.''

87 - Greeting to the N.A.A.C.P.
June 13, 1939
Dear Mr. White:
The opportunities of a democratic people to participate in national progress are legion. Their responsibilities for sharing in the achievement of that progress are equally great. We delight in recognizing the contributions which members of the Negro race have made to American life and the part which they have had in the progress of the nation.
My sincerest wish for all of you is that your opportunities may be increasingly shared and your responsibilities continuously accepted in helping the Negro race to hold fast to the advancements already made and in moving forward to higher planes of accomplishment. As an integral group in our American democracy we look to you to uphold its ideals, to help to carry its burdens and to partake of its blessings.
In extending cordial greetings to the Thirtieth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, may I express the hope that the Negro race will find steadily expanding fields in which to serve with industry, loyalty and distinction.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Walter White,
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,

Sound of Music, The (1965)
The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing
Every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings
Of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh
Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook
When it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing...
...once more

THE AGE
Edward's would-be killer leaves a trail of doubt
January 7 2003
The assassination attempt on King Edward VIII was dismissed at the time as the act of a madman. But was it really? Andrew Cook looks at the evidence.
King Edward VIII is best remembered today for his suspected Nazi sympathies and the abdication crisis that brought a sudden end to his short reign. It is now long forgotten that his time on the throne might have been even briefer had an incident on July 16, 1936, had a more sinister outcome.
Now, 67 years later, new research and the belated release to the public record office of one of the previously closed files on the affair raises new questions about what actually occurred that day and why.
The morning of July 16 was sunny and the crowds lining Constitution Hill, London, were three to four deep. Like many in the crowd, Alice Lawrence had been waiting patiently for a glimpse of the king's procession as it returned to Buckingham Palace from a colours ceremony in Hyde Park.
Waiting for a sign that the parade was on its way, those around her had their eyes trained on Wellington Arch - apart from one short, stocky man in a well-worn, brown suit to her immediate left, who every so often turned to look over his shoulder towards the railings of Green Park. It was there, earlier on, that she had first noticed him talking intently to a tall, well-dressed man with a moustache and hat.
About 12.25 the sound of distant cheering told the crowd that the king had left Hyde Park and was only a few minutes away. The man in the brown suit was now gazing at something in his left hand and tapping his thigh with the newspaper he held in the other. At 12.30 the military band leading the parade emerged from Wellington Arch as rippled applause and cheering broke out at the top of Constitution Hill. Following close behind was the king on horseback, in full-dress scarlet tunic and bearskin. As the king's horse passed Mrs Lawrence, the man's newspaper fell to the ground, revealing a revolver, which he raised and levelled at the king. Without thinking, Mrs Lawrence instinctively grabbed his arm and cried out. Alerted by the cry, Special Constable Anthony Dick spun around and, seeing the revolver, struck the man's lower arm with his fist, causing the gun to fly out of his hand and into the roadway.
The man, identified as George Andrew McMahon, was taken to Hyde Park Police Station, where he was cautioned by Chief Inspector Sands. During the car journey McMahon had told Sands that he had no intention of harming the king, and "only did it as a protest". A body search yielded an envelope containing a picture postcard of the king along with two rounds of ammunition for his revolver, and the newspaper he had dropped. On examination, the words, "May I Love You" were found pencilled on the back page.
One of the first telegrams Edward received that afternoon on his safe return to Buckingham Palace was from Adolf Hitler, who told him: "I have just received the news of the abominable attempt on the life of Your Majesty, and send my heartiest congratulations on your escape."
Although McMahon made no further statements that day, and only cursory inquiries by the police had been made, the king was told that evening that Scotland Yard had "unravelled the mystery". McMahon, he was informed, was "a frustrated Irish journalist who had convinced himself that the secretary of state for home affairs had conspired to prevent him from publishing a journal called the Human Gazette". His action was apparently not an attempt to harm the king, but to publicise this perceived injustice.
Special Branch later established that McMahon's real name was Jerome Bannigan and that he was suspected to have Nazi sympathies. Several members of the public later came forward to confirm that they had seen McMahon selling the fascist newspaper the Black Shirt in west London. When McMahon finally appeared at the Old Bailey in London in September, he gave a detailed account of what he maintained was behind the incident. He said he had been approached in October the previous year by an English intermediary who introduced him to representatives of "a foreign power" outside their embassy. A further meeting took place at which they discussed the injustices in Ireland and suggested that he could help their cause. McMahon maintained that he had reported this to MI5 (British counter-intelligence) and then kept in touch with them. Some months later, not long after the death of Edward's father, King George V, it was first suggested by those he had met in October that he become involved in an assassination attempt on the new King Edward. McMahon maintained that he never had any intention of doing the king any harm and was merely going through the motions while informing MI5 about the plot. He was, he claimed, approached by an MI5 officer on the Monday before the incident.
The Times echoed the widely held belief that McMahon's "melodramatic" story was, "reared as an afterthought" in his defence. This view now seems unlikely in light of inquiries made by Alfred Kerstein, McMahon's lawyer. He had not only been in correspondence with police and the war office in an attempt to corroborate McMahon's story, but had received confirmation from Chief Inspector Sands that McMahon had indeed been in communication with MI5. Sands, however, had refused to comment further on when the meeting with the MI5 officer took place or the information that had been imparted. It is also clear that Kerstein had established the identity of this officer.
If McMahon acted alone, who was the "tall, well-dressed man" he was talking to minutes before his arrest? If MI5 was aware of McMahon in the context of the story he told the jury, what had he told them and to what extent, if any, had they any knowledge that something might occur on July 16?
According to the police, the words, "May I love you", found on the discarded newspaper, referred to McMahon's wife. However, Rose McMahon was rarely referred to as May. Besides, she was not the only May in McMahon's life. Had the nine other occupants who lived at McMahon's London address been interviewed, one May Galley might well have attracted some attention. A close friend of a small group of German-speaking Austrian emigres, May and her associates were seen with McMahon on several occasions. At least one of her emigre friends had been a member of the Austrian Communist Party and would briefly come to the attention of MI5 two years later in connection with Soviet espionage activities at Woolwich Arsenal in south London.
It is clear from the notes McMahon gave to Kerstein about the "foreign power" that he was referring to Nazi Germany. However, none of the names he wrote down match any on the German diplomatic list for 1936 or any other German individuals residing in Britain who were known to be associated with the regime. It would seem that those named were either figments of his imagination or were alternatively individuals posing as Germans. If the "Nazis" McMahon was in contact with were Austrians, a whole new complexion is cast on the story.
In the end, if anyone was seeking to manipulate an impressionable malcontent with three minor convictions for fraud, whose story in the event of arrest would be unlikely to be believed, who better than George Andrew McMahon? Whether McMahon, the classic "lone-nut" assassin, ever had any intention of pulling the trigger may never be known. The full knowledge of his true intentions died with him in 1970. However, it now seems likely that the story he told the Old Bailey jury may have been the tip of a much larger iceberg.

The American Presidency Project
Richard Nixon
XXXVII President of the United States: 1969-1974
73 - Statement About the Future of the United States Space Program
March 7, 1970
OVER the last decade, the principal goal of our Nation's space program has been the moon. By the end of that decade men from our planet had traveled to the moon on four occasions and twice they had walked on its surface. With these unforgettable experiences, we have gained a new perspective of ourselves and our world.
I believe these accomplishments should help us gain a new perspective of our space program as well. Having completed that long stride into the future which has been our objective for the past decade, we must now define new goals which make sense for the seventies. We must build on the successes of the past, always reaching out for new achievements. But we must also recognize that many critical problems here on this planet make high priority demands on our attention and our resources. By no means should we allow our space program to stagnate. But--with the entire future and the entire universe before us-we should not try to do everything at once. Our approach to space must continue to be bold--but it must also be balanced.
When this administration came into office, there were no clear, comprehensive plans for our space program after the first Apollo landing. To help remedy this situation, I established in February of 1969 a space task group, headed by the Vice President, to study possibilities for the future of that program. Their report was presented to me in September. After reviewing that report and considering our national priorities, I have reached a number of conclusions concerning the future pace and direction of the Nation's space efforts. The budget recommendations which I have sent to the Congress for fiscal year 1971 are based on these conclusions.
THREE GENERAL PURPOSES
In my judgment, three general purpose should guide our space program.
One purpose is exploration. From time immemorial, man has insisted on venturing into the unknown despite his inability to predict precisely the value of any given exploration. He has been willing to take risks, willing to be surprised, willing to adapt to new experiences. Man has come. to feel that such quests are worthwhile in and of themselves--for they represent one way in which he expands his vision and expresses the human spirit. A great nation must always be an exploring nation if it wishes to remain great.
A second purpose of our space program is scientific knowledge--a greater systematic understanding about ourselves and our universe. With each of our space ventures, man's total information about nature has been dramatically expanded; the human race was able to learn more about the Moon and Mars in a few hours last summer than had been learned in all the centuries that had gone before. The people who perform this important work are not only those who walk in space suits while millions watch or those who launch powerful rockets in a burst of flame. Much of our scientific progress comes in laboratories and offices, where dedicated, inquiring men and women decipher new facts and add them to old ones in ways which reveal new truths. The abilities of these scientists constitute one of our most valuable national resources. I believe that our space program should help these people in their work and should be attentive to their suggestions.
A third purpose of the United States space effort is that of practical application-turning the lessons we learn in space to the early benefit of life on earth. Examples of such lessons are manifold; they range from new medical insights to new methods of communication, from better weather forecasts to new management techniques and new ways of providing energy. But these lessons will not apply themselves; we must make a concerted effort to see that the results of our space research are used to the maximum advantage of the human community.
A CONTINUING PROCESS
We must see our space effort, then, not only as an adventure of today but also as an investment in tomorrow. We did not go to the moon merely for the sport of it. To be sure, those undertakings have provided an exciting adventure for all mankind and we are proud that it was our Nation that met this challenge. But the most important thing about man's first footsteps on the moon is what they promise for the future.
We must realize that space activities will be a part of our lives for the rest of time. We must think of them as part of a continuing process--one which will go on day in and day out, year in and year out-and not as a series of separate leaps, each requiring a massive concentration of energy and will and accomplished on a crash timetable. Our space program should not be planned in a rigid manner, decade by decade, but on a continuing flexible basis, one which takes into account our changing needs and our expanding knowledge.
We must also realize that space expenditures must take their proper place within a rigorous system of national priorities. What we do in space from here on in must become a normal and regular part of our national life and must therefore be planned in conjunction with all of the other undertakings which are also important to us. The space budget which I have sent to Congress for fiscal year 1971 is lower than the budget for fiscal year 1970, a condition which reflects the fiscal constraints under which we presently operate and the competing demands of other programs. I am confident, however, that the funding I have proposed will allow our space program to make steady and impressive progress.
SIX SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
With these general considerations in mind, I have concluded that our space program should work toward the following specific objectives:
1. We should continue to explore the moon. Future Apollo manned lunar landings will be spaced so as to maximize our scientific return from each mission, always providing, of course, for the safety of those who undertake these ventures. Our decisions about manned and unmanned lunar voyages beyond the Apollo program will he based on the results of these missions.
2. We should move ahead with bold exploration of the planets and the universe. In the next few years, scientific satellites of many types will be launched into earth orbit to bring us new information about the universe, the solar system, and even our own planet. During the next decade, we will also launch unmanned spacecraft to all the planets of our solar system, including an unmanned vehicle which will be sent to land on Mars and to investigate its surface. In the late 1970's, the "Grand Tour" missions will study the mysterious outer planets of the solar system-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The positions of the planets at that time will give us a unique opportunity to launch missions which can visit several of them on a single flight of over 3 billion miles. Preparations for this program will begin in 1972.
There is one major but longer-range goal we should keep in mind as we proceed with our exploration of the planets. As a part of this program we will eventually send men to explore the planet Mars.
3. We should work to reduce substantially the cost of space operations. Our present rocket technology will provide a reliable launch capability for some time. But as we build for the longer-range future, we must devise less costly and less complicated ways of transporting payloads into space. Such a capability-designed so that it will be suitable for a wide range of scientific, defense, and commercial uses--can help us realize important economies in all aspects of our space program. We are currently examining in greater detail the feasibility of reusable space shuttles as one way of achieving this objective.
4. We should seek to extend man's capability to live and work in space. The Experimental Space Station (XSS)--a large orbiting workshop--will be an important part of this effort. We are now building such a station--using systems originally developed for the Apollo program--and plan to begin using it for operational missions in the next few years. We expect that men will be working in space for months at a time during the coming decade.
We have much to learn about what man can and cannot do in space. On the basis of our experience with the XSS, we will decide when and how to develop longer lived space stations. Flexible, long-lived space station modules could provide a multipurpose space platform for the longer-range future and ultimately become a building block for manned interplanetary travel.
5. We should hasten and expand the practical applications of space technology. The development of earth resources satellites-platforms which can help in such varied tasks as surveying crops, locating mineral deposits, and measuring water resources--will enable us to assess our environment and use our resources more effectively. We should continue to pursue other applications of space-related technology in a wide variety of fields, including meteorology, communications, navigation, air traffic control, education, and national defense. The very act of reaching into space can help man improve the! quality of life on earth.
6. We should encourage greater inter. national cooperation in space. In my address to the United Nations last September, I indicated that the United States will take positive, concrete steps "toward internationalizing man's epic venture into space--an adventure that belongs not to one nation but to all mankind. I believe that both the adventures and the applications of space missions should be shard by all peoples. Our progress will be faster and our accomplishments will be greater if nations will join together in this effort, both in contributing the resources and in enjoying the benefits. Unmanned scientific payloads from other nations already make use of our space launch capability on a cost-shared basis; we look forward to the day when these arrangements can be extended to larger applications satellites and astronaut crews. The Administrator of NASA recently met with the space authorities of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia in an effort to find ways in which we can cooperate more effectively in space.
It is important, I believe, that the space program of the United States meet these six objectives. A program which achieves these goals will be a balanced space program, one which will extend our capabilities and knowledge and one which will put our new learning to work for the immediate benefit of all people.
As we enter a new decade, we are conscious of the fact that man is also entering a new historic era. For the first time, he has reached beyond his planet; for the rest of time, we will think of ourselves as men from the planet earth. It is my hope that as we go forward with our space program, we can plan and work in a way which makes us proud both of the planet from which we come and of our ability to travel beyond it.

Sam Damon, from small-town Nebraska, finds life in the U.S. Army, just prior to World War I, so appealing that he breaks off his relationship with Celia, his childhood sweetheart. When war does break out, Sam is sent to fight in France where his courage and initiative raise him in rank from private to sergeant to lieutenant to captain. Along the way he crosses paths with an assertive nurse - "Tommy" Caldwell, daughter of Col. Caldwell - and an ambitious officer, Courtenay Massengale, whose promotions have come from manipulating his contacts with his superiors.

Liotta-Cooley Artificial Heart
DESCRIPTION
This is the first total artificial heart implanted in a human body. It was developed by Domingo Liotta and implanted by surgeon Denton Cooley on April 4, 1969, at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston. The recipient, Haskell Karp, lived for sixty-four hours with the artificial heart pumping oxygenated blood through his body until a human heart was available for transplant.

Liotta Total Artificial Heart
This device is described here for historical purposes. It is no longer in use.
On April 4, 1969, Dr. Denton A. Cooley performed the first total artificial heart implant in the world. The device, developed by Dr. Domingo Liotta, was implanted in a 47-year-old patient with severe heart failure. The Liotta heart supported the patient for nearly three days, at which time a donor heart was found for transplantation. This experience showed doctors that patients could be "bridged" to transplantation, meaning that mechanical circulatory support systems could be used to keep a patient alive until a donor heart is found.
