Thomas.
Hey.
How are you? How are you doing? I was worried about you at the church.
Oh, I'm fine.
Mom says I'm I'm over-exercising myself lately.
She's probably right, but I need to get in good shape.
Right.
Aren't you gonna ask me why? Yes.
I'm sorry.
Why? You know Thomas, would you check on your sisters, please? But you said earlier that I could stay.
That was before you almost fainted from overexertion.
Let's go.
Maybe I'll see you later? Come on.
[Rhythm Section Playing] [Woman Singing Jazzy Song In Japanese] [Speaking Japanese] [Whispering] Oh, God.
Linguistic nuances of Japanese? What the hell did you say to him? I assure you it was nothing I did.
- How low did you bow? - Low enough! [Muffled Gunshots, Shouting] Clear the building.
[Gunshots, Shouting Continue] Please.
Get out.
[Speaking Japanese] [Piano Playing Classical] Everything all right? Thomas.
He had some sort of an episode at the church.
An episode? One of the "absence" seizures from the medical report that you showed me.
It only lasted a few seconds, but it was like it was like he died and then he came back to me.
He's okay now? Yeah, I sent him upstairs to rest.
He thinks it was overexertion.

Oh, Julia, can I introduce Henry Collins.
You are every bit as beautiful as she's described.
How are you finding life in civilization? Uh, very different but fascinating.
Hmm? I was listening to people talk today about what Dr.
Adler had to do as part of his job, thinking about a friend of mine whose lungs were damaged when he was young, from gas.
There's no cure.
What would have happened to him here? Well, he'd be spared any physical suffering and also the ignominy of being a useless eater.
Some people think that's an ugly phrase, you know: Useless eater.
He got death threats, you know Gerry, all the time.
Alice.
John.
Oh, good.
I need to talk to you.
Did you know that Gerry got death threats? Of course.
And the doctor that did his last physical said he had the heart of a much younger man.
These things don't make sense.
How can a man with a good heart just - just drop dead? - Why don't we go into the kitchen? - Okay? Come on.
- Uh I-Is John coming? Excuse me.
Listen.
What happened is just is just a terrible tragedy, Alice.
But what if it's more than that? Alice, honey Uh, I don't, uh I didn't allow them to cremate him today.
You didn't? Because we might want an autopsy.
Don't you think? Um, I'm I'm not sure this is maybe the right place to discuss this.
How about we, uh, find one of your boys who can give you a lift home? It's been a long day, honey.
- But we we will talk? - Yes, of course we will.
Yes, we will.

Ronald Reagan's Daughter Patti Davis On the High Cost of Being a Political Daughter

She's one of the few people who know exactly how Chelsea and Ivanka feel.

By PATTI DAVIS OCT 31, 2016

In 1980, on election night, I stood on stage at the Century Plaza Hotel with my family, smiling at the assembled crowd as news commentators introduced us—the "new First Family." I'd borrowed a black dress from a girlfriend; I held my mother's hand and had one arm around my brother. I knew the images being recorded that night would be in every newspaper the following morning. It was an impression that might have endured if I had made different choices from that point forward. But I would soon replace those images with my anti-nuclear activities, my strident criticism of my father's policies, my decision to write about the discord in my family. The smiling girl in the black dress was replaced by a rebellious daughter acting out her issues in the public eye.

Neither image was the whole story.

In this current political season, we have seen Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump sitting ringside at the meanest presidential debates America has ever known, each of them resolutely supporting their respective parent. They have both given carefully worded interviews, even campaign speeches. There are other enduring images of Chelsea from the past, of course. Remember the photo of her walking between her parents across the White House lawn during the Monica Lewinski scandal? She was the "bridge over troubled waters."

None of those images were the whole story.

When a good portion of your life is lived out in the public eye, you come to accept that the public will decide that certain images of you have told them all they need to know. Strangers will assume they now have insight into the parent-child relationship, the inner workings of the family, and they'll even imagine what private conversations are like. All of this is based on bright images captured by cameras under one of the biggest spotlights on earth. Moments in time, moments in a life, but absent of all the nuances, shadows and tangles that make up a life.

Some have found it strange that Chelsea and Ivanka could be friends when their parents are embroiled in such a bitter war. I haven't found it odd at all. They are members of the same tribe—people who are observed, judged, commented upon whenever they step into the spotlight, but who know all too well that who you are in the spotlight is only a small piece of your life. Behind the pictures of Chelsea and Ivanka are decades of family history, along with the complexities and challenges that all families face.

Those of us in this tribe learn to compartmentalize. We learn to draw boundaries around our private lives, because when the glare of the media finds you there are no boundaries. We will never be able to control what complete strangers decide about us, and we know their decisions will trail us forever.

Chelsea and Ivanka have had a particularly challenging task because both campaigns rely on them to humanize and soften their parents. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have nothing in common except for this one stunning similarity: many people don't like them. Who best to make them more likable than their daughters? It's a Herculean task though because, just as people have formed strong impressions of Chelsea and Ivanka, so too have they formed vivid impressions of the two candidates running for President. And the love of a daughter for her mother or her father is not really going to tip the scales.

By comparison, I had it easy. I was just expected to show up sometimes, and only for really big events like the convention and election night.

There will always be a public scrapbook for political families and their offspring. They've been captured at moments that may reveal something, but not everything. That iconic photo of Chelsea walking between her parents as their marriage, and the country, was rocked by her father's infidelities, does give you a glimpse into her maturity, her bond with both parents, her wish for some kind of healing. But we can't know the tears she may have cried, the despair and embarrassment she might have felt, not only over her father's cheating, but over the recklessness that was played out for the world to see. We don't know if she felt torn between her mother and her father.

Ivanka Trump's serene and confident assessment of her father show you a daughter who clearly loves and respects her parent. But we don't know how she felt when she heard her father's voice on the now-infamous Access Hollywood tape. We don't know how, or if, the family was rocked by his divorces and re-marriages.

We don't know if these two women, both mothers to young children, worry about how they will someday explain this 2016 campaign to their kids. A campaign that is nothing less than bloodletting. "What did you do in the war, Mommy?" might be the question they are both asked. You can't know their thoughts when they stand in lamplight and watch their children sleeping. Do they feel the weight of questions they know will come?

And you can't know that the 28-year-old woman who spoke at anti-nuclear rallies while her father was president once – long ago – sat with him and watched puffy white clouds push their way across the sky while he pointed out the animal shape of each cloud. You can't know that she used to say, "My daddy can do anything." You can't know about the tears that fell from her eyes onto his hand as death edged into the room and how her heart whispered to his that she would never stop telling him how sorry she was for her bad choices and the wounds they'd caused.

There is something else that those of us who have had to accept the harshness of the political spotlight know: It can be a lonely place. But you probably won't see that reflected in any photographs.

At Height of Vietnam, Bush Picks Guard


By George Lardner Jr. and Lois Romano

Washington Post Staff Writers

Wednesday, July 28, 1999; Page A1

Fourth of seven articles

Two weeks before he was to graduate from Yale, George Walker Bush stepped into the offices of the Texas Air National Guard at Ellington Field outside Houston and announced that he wanted to sign up for pilot training.

It was May 27, 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. Bush was 12 days away from losing his student deferment from the draft at a time when Americans were dying in combat at the rate of 350 a week. The unit Bush wanted to join offered him the chance to fulfill his military commitment at a base in Texas. It was seen as an escape route from Vietnam by many men his age, and usually had a long waiting list.

Quayle Continues to Drop Hints of Clinton's Infidelity

November 02, 1992 PAUL RICHTER TIMES STAFF WRITER

CINCINNATI — Vice President Dan Quayle Sunday made a last frantic dash through the swing state of Ohio, dropping hints as he went that Democratic standard bearer Bill Clinton lacks fidelity.


The vice president revisited the trust theme during a stop in Portsmouth, Ohio.

"Would you trust Bill Clinton to take care of your family?" Quayle asked a crowd of several hundred at the U.S. Grant Middle School. "Would you trust Bill Clinton with your children?"

As the crowd responded with a resounding "No," Quayle added: "Then let's make sure we don't exchange George and Barbara Bush for Bill and Hillary Clinton."

DAN QUAYLE AND THE VIETNAM QUESTION

By Myra MacPherson August 19, 1988

NEW ORLEANS -- Everyone in America watched the Vietnam generation come of age -- that massive bulge of 26 million men and 27 million women whose adolescence was played out in endless detail on the nightly news. They were captured in freeze frames of yesteryear -- drug-gutted "flower children" seeking nirvana in Haight-Ashbury flophouses, revelers stoned and mud-soaked at Woodstock, protesters bleeding from the nightsticks in Chicago 20 years ago.

And television brought the war home to America -- capturing in Vietnam's fields of fire bleeding and dying soldiers as baby-faced as those at campus barricades, sometimes as stoned as the mob at Woodstock, as vulnerable as any adolescents.

Now it's being replayed again. Ever since vice presidential nominee and Senate hawk Dan Quayle lobbed the grenade Tuesday night that "phone calls were made" to aid his entry into the National Guard in 1969, Republicans here have been sifting through the political damage.

As baby boomers move into positions of political prominence, Quayle -- the publisher's son whose family connections may havehelpedhim get into the Guard -- will not be the last to have to explain what he did in the nation's most unpopular and divisive war -- a war that, predictably, left a welter of conflicting legacies.

Today, as time blurs that war of much confusion and uncertainty, there has come the Ramboing of Vietnam, Ronald Reagan's attempt to make it a "noble cause" and a general desire to gloss over who did the fighting and why.

The less privileged -- from the ghettos and the hills of Appalachia and Midwest steel mills and automobile factories -- fought that war in disproportionate numbers; the best and the brightest planned the war but did not send their sons.

For the first time, it was chic and righteous in influential circles not to go to war.

Quayle, Gore Set Themes For Last Weeks -- Stockdale Never Answers Own Query: `Why Am I Here?'

Times News Services

It may be remembered more for its furious, even nasty partisanship than for any impact it might have on the outcome of 1992 presidential election.

But yesterday's clash of the running mates did reveal that the campaigns have decided on lines of attack for the next three weeks: President Bush against Bill Clinton's character and tax policies; Clinton against Bush's economic record; and Ross Perot against Washington politicians and their deficit.

In yesterday's debate, Vice President Dan Quayle and Sen. Al Gore Jr. of Tennessee did a better job articulating their campaigns' basic messages than President Bush and Arkansas Gov. Clinton did in Sunday's low-energy affair.

In the crossfire, retired Vice Adm. James Stockdale often seemed lost - a civilian who had wandered into a private war.

The succession of sharp clashes between Quayle and Gore over taxes, trust and character gave this debate a much rougher edge than the decorous first encounter between the presidential contenders. But traditionally, the vice-presidential debates have only minimally affected the outcome of presidential campaigns.

An ABC poll taken immediately after the debate showed Clinton leading Bush 47 percent to 38 percent, with Perot trailing at 12 percent. Those figures were virtually unchanged from a poll completed before the debate.

If yesterday's debate has any impact, some observers said, it may be to diminish the momentum Perot generated Sunday.

Although Stockdale's earthy directness occasionally echoed Perot's own success at knifing through his opponents' stilted political rhetoric, more often he appeared uncertain and overmatched; for long stretches in the free-form debate he disappeared entirely. Stockdale, a senior research fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University, never seemed to entirely answer the question he posed at the outset: "Why am I here?"

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

"Fortunate Son"

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
