CHAPTER 10
But Clark, clever as he was, and good commander that he seemed to be, hadn't learned how to run a unit in the modern military world, where half the time was spent managing money like some goddamned white-socked accountant, instead of leading from the front and training with the troops.

XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001
Remarks at the United States Military Academy Commencement Ceremony in West Point, New York
May 29, 1993
Thank you very much. Please be seated.
General Graves, thank you for that fine introduction and for your outstanding leadership here. General Sullivan and the distinguished platform guests, distinguished guests, all the families and guests of this graduating class, and most of all, to the young men and women of the Corps of Cadets, it is a great privilege for me today to join in this celebration of accomplishment.
To the class of 1993, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations. You've worked hard, and you've well earned the honor bestowed upon you today.
To your parents and your relatives, let me assure you that however often you've wondered about it, you really aren't dreaming. Your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters really made it. And you can take pride in their graduation and in the strong values that you must have helped to instill in them that made this day possible for them.
To the faculty and staff of this wonderful Academy, let me offer my gratitude for your dedication as this historic institution graduates its 50,000th cadet. It is said here at West Point that much of the history you teach was made by the people you taught. That's true and very much to your credit. The work you and your predecessors have carried forward since 1802 is truly that of nation-building, and today your Nation thanks you once again.
For the class of 1993, today marks the completion of an arduous process. I look out at you and think you endured Beast Barracks. You passed countless PT tests, none of which I could pass anymore. [Laughter] You have met high standards for discipline, for physical fitness, for academics, and I must say, I am impressed by your haircuts. [Laughter]
No one is perfect, of course, as even the President demonstrates from time to time. I'm reminded that one of your greatest graduates and one of my predecessors as Commander in Chief, General Dwight Eisenhower, was punished as a cadet for such terrible offenses as, I quote, "apparently making no reasonable effort to have his room properly cleaned at a.m. inspection," and—I wonder what a "reasonable effort" is—and second, "being late for breakfast." In the unlikely event that there have been any such breaches of discipline on your part, let me announce today that in keeping with customary practice, I exercise my prerogative as Commander in Chief to grant amnesty to the Corps of Cadets. [Applause] I hope the assembled crowd is not too troubled that so many seem to be celebrating. [Laughter]
Two centuries ago at this bend in the Hudson River, America's first defenders stretched a chain across the river to prevent British ships from dividing and conquering our new Nation.

Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Well, first of all, to Blair and Cheryl and their kids, thank you so much for opening up this gorgeous home. And to Gary, Josh, and Jamie—just the whole crew—these folks have been with me dating back to when people couldn't pronounce my name. [Laughter]

May 14, 2014
Hello, New York! It turned out to be a beautiful day. Well, it's wonderful to be here with all of you. Take a seat, take a seat. Relax.
First of all, I want to thank Governor Cuomo for that great introduction and the great job he's doing. I want to thank Mayor Fixell for having me in Tarrytown. Where's the Mayor? Where'd he go? There he is, right there. This is a gorgeous part of the world, and I am lucky to be here, and I'm going to be coming back soon; in 2 weeks, I've got the honor of delivering the commencement at West Point just a little bit further up.

Hubble Images Our Closest Neighbor: Proxima Centauri
Only with the Hubble Space Telescope could we get such a brilliant view of our closest stellar neighbor: Proxima Centauri. Located in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur), Proxima is just slightly over four light years distant from Earth. Even though this recent Hubble image makes the tiny star appear bright, it really isn't. At around magnitude 11, it's barely visible to an average telescope - let alone the unaided eye!
So what makes this diminutive star special, other than the fact that it's the closest star to our Sun? In this case, it's the type. While Proxima Centauri has an extremely low average luminosity and is physically small compared to other stars (about 1/8th the mass of our Sun) it is what's known as a "flare star". This unusual stellar orb doesn't "burn" like others - it heats by the convection process - where the energy is physically moved up from the interior to the exterior, rather than radiated. As a result, the left-over hydrogen ash doesn't collect at the core... rather it circulates throughout the star. In the end, this means that Proxima will almost completely exhaust its nuclear fuel before the fusion of hydrogen comes to an end.
Not only is the life of a flare star unusual, but so are its appearances. Because of the convection process, Proxima is noted for drastic changes in brightness which can occur with no warning or pattern. Astronomers predict that stars such as Proxima will remain a main sequence member for around another four trillion years - or 300 times the age of the Universe as we know it!
Proxima was discovered in 1915 by Scottish astronomer Robert Innes, Director of the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa. At the time, he didn't know that it was the nearest star to Earth, only that it had the same proper motion as Alpha Centauri. Its name means "the closest," and while it applied to companion star, Alpha, it would be a name that would ring even more true when Dutch astronomer Joan Voute measured the star's trigonometric parallax and determined that Proxima Centauri was approximately the same distance from the Sun as Alpha. It has been the closest star to the Sun for about 32,000 years and will be so for about another 33,000 years!
Proxima Centauri is actually part of a triple star system its two companions, Alpha Centauri A and B, lie out of frame. However, they aren't the only ones sharing the same address. Six single stars, two binary star systems, and a triple star share a common motion through space with Proxima Centauri and the Alpha Centauri system. While it hasn't been proven yet, chances are they are all part of a moving group, similar to the Ursa Major System. Did these stars have a common point of origin? It's possible they may have all once belonged to a star cluster... a theory which will last at least until Proxima is shown not to be gravitationally bound to its companions!
