Do you know anything about Persian mythology ? Persian mythology says on the last day there's a reckoning. There's an old-fashioned scale. You got one side for light, one side for darkness. Good, evil. Everybody steps onto the pan, sees how they measure up. The world wants it all to make sense. The world wants all that add up. The world wants balance.
This is your response ? Some story about some bullshit weight station into the afterlife ?
You're still here, George.
I wanna be young and silly.
You are young and silly. Georgia ! I wrote your name on that post-it. I had not met you, I didn't know how a great kid you are. But if I had known you, I would still have written your name on the post-it. It's the way of the world.
I think he's wrong. I don't think it all adds up. I don't think any of it makes sense. I don't see any fucking balance in the world. It's all about luck. Either you're lucky, or you're not.

A carriage forming part of the train that carried Sir Winston Churchill’s body from his funeral is to be restored in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his death.
Built in 1931, the Southern Railway luggage van no.2464 carried the illustrious former Prime Minister from his State Funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, to his final resting place in Oxfordshire on January 30 1965.

HISTORY
Winston Churchill’s Funeral, 50 Years Ago
JANUARY 30, 2015 By Christopher Klein
Six days after former British prime minister Winston Churchill passed away at the age of 90 in his London home following a severe stroke, hundreds of millions of viewers around the globe tuned in to their televisions on January 30, 1965, to watch the largest state funeral the world had ever seen at the time. On the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s funeral, look back at the day when Great Britain said farewell to the man who defended the country from the Nazis in World War II.
On a pale gray winter morning, Big Ben’s distinctive chimes echoed through the London silence. After tolling the time at 9:45 a.m., the British icon would remain uncharacteristically quiet for the rest of the day out of respect for another of the country’s towering figures—Sir Winston Churchill. Below the mighty bell, the flag-draped coffin of the wartime prime minister rested on a gun carriage as the biting wind carried the roars of cannons thundering 90 shots, one for each year of Churchill’s life, in nearby Hyde Park.
Upon command, a single drum began to beat. Then came the rhythmic pounding of boots upon pavement as more than 100 members of the Royal Navy moved in lockstep as they drew the cortege of the man who had led the country as prime minister through World War II and later from 1951 to 1955. Military bands played dirges and somber marches as Churchill’s body was pulled through the streets of London accompanied by servicemen from nearly 20 different military units. Four majors of the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars were required just to carry Churchill’s litany of medals, orders and decorations.
Churchill became the first civilian in the 20th century to receive the honor normally reserved for kings and queens and only the second prime minister to be given a state funeral, William Gladstone being the first in 1898. For three days and for three nights, Churchill lay in state in 900-year-old Westminster Hall as more than 300,000 mourners filed past the casket, hewn from English oaks taken from his family estate, in muffled silence.
Before dawn on the morning of the funeral, a million people began to gather along the cortege route. They watched in silence as the gun carriage rolled through the British capital and past the offices where Churchill had served as the First Lord of the Admiralty during two world wars, past the Fleet Street newspaper offices where he had once been an ink-stained scribe, past 10 Downing Street where he had guided the country through its darkest hours against the Nazi threat and past Trafalgar Square where Londoners celebrated when news of victory finally arrived in 1945.
After an hour, the procession finished its journey from Britain’s political heart to its religious soul, St. Paul’s Cathedral. Much like Churchill himself, St. Paul’s had become a symbol of steely British determination during World War II as it managed to withstand the worst of the Nazi bombing during the Blitz.
Such was the country’s admiration for Churchill that Queen Elizabeth II broke with monarchical tradition to attend a funeral for someone outside of the royal family. Even more unusual, the queen gave precedence to one of her subjects and arrived at the cathedral before the former prime minister’s casket.
Gathered inside St. Paul’s to celebrate Churchill’s extraordinary life were dignitaries from an unprecedented 112 countries—including six monarchs, six presidents and 16 prime ministers—which made the state funeral the largest in history at that time. In addition to the 3,000 congregating under St. Paul’s dome, an estimated television audience of 350 million people—a tenth of the world’s population—watched the funeral service, which featured some of Churchill’s favorite hymns. As the mourners sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a shaft of sunlight broke through the clouds, beamed through the cathedral’s windows and fell on the Union Jack cloaking the casket.
Following the service, Churchill’s coffin was carried down the west steps of St. Paul’s and returned to the gun carriage, which continued on to a pier outside the Tower of London where the Royal Artillery fired a 19-gun salute. The funeral procession then took to the water as the casket was carried aboard the launch Havengore for a short sail up the River Thames. In a meticulously orchestrated event that had been choreographed for years, perhaps the day’s best-remembered moment was also an unscripted one. As 16 Royal Air Force fighter jets roared overhead in tight formations, London’s dock workers dipped their cranes lining the south bank of the Thames one by one as if the mammoth machines were bowing their heads to Churchill.
After the Havengore docked upstream, the former prime minister’s casket was taken to Waterloo Station and placed on a specially prepared train with five Pullman coaches filled with family and friends for Churchill’s final journey. As the locomotive chugged along the 60-mile journey to Oxfordshire, mourners with bowed heads and hats over their hearts stood silently on station platforms along with uniformed World War II veterans with arms raised in salute.
Not far from Blenheim Palace where he was born 90 years earlier, Churchill’s life came full circle. In a private ceremony at a quiet churchyard in the village of Bladon, Churchill’s body was lowered into the small family plot and covered with the soil that he had preserved to be British.

Alex Butterfield Explains Why He Revealed the Watergate Tapes
By Clare Crawford
On July 16, 1973, Alexander Butterfield pulled the plug on the Nixon administration by revealing the existence of the Watergate tapes. Butterfield was an Air Force reconnaissance pilot who served as chart-bearing assistant to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara during part of the Johnson administration. He resigned his commission in 1969 to accept a permanent White House post as presidential assistant, offered him by old UCLA classmate Bob Haldeman. He left the White House in March, 1973, to become chief of the Federal Aviation Administration—a politically sensitive job he held until March 31 this year. While working in the White House, none of his duties was more historically significant than overseeing the taping system. Reluctant to discuss his role in the undoing of Richard Nixon while still an administration official, Butterfield, 49, agreed to talk about it for the first time with Clare Crawford of PEOPLE.
How did you feel after you revealed the existence of the Watergate tapes?
The day after I testified, I was in London on my way to the Soviet Union for a meeting with Soviet aviation officials. I saw that my mother was quoted as saying she was very proud of me. To me it was a very serious issue. I didn't fancy myself a hero. I did wonder—and up until then there was no proof at all—if President Nixon was involved in Watergate. I sent a cable home saying, "Please, Mother, don't talk to the press. I'm not a hero." I was furious, and she didn't understand.
Have you heard from Nixon since his resignation last August?
Oh, no. I'm sure that he hates me as much as anyone can.
Were you forced out of your job as administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration last March?
I don't think there is any question about that. The White House acts as though it was voluntary, but I was asked to leave—and quickly. I wasn't allowed to stay until the confirmation of my successor, which is the normal courtesy. The White House wasn't concerned with the passage of a bill that would reinstate me on the retired rolls of the Air Force either. I gave up my commission unhesitatingly to serve as the FAA administrator. Sen. John Tower of Texas has introduced a one-paragraph bill that would simply reinstate my pension, and it's still before the Senate.
Why do you think you were asked to resign?
Right after I testified about the tapes I heard that there had been a meeting of three or four Nixon loyalists in the White House and the decision was, "Butterfield must go." President Nixon didn't survive, and I think they felt I should go too.
