The Hunt For Red October




The Hunt For Red October (1984)

Tom Clancy


Somewhere under the Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision. The Red October is heading west. The Americans want her.

The Russians want her back. And the most incredible chase in history is on...

Chapter 1.

THE FIRST DAY










The Hunt For Red October (1984)

Tom Clancy

(from internet transcript)

Chapter 15.


"Dallas, this is Jonesy, do you copy?"

"Aye." The reply was scratchy, like a taxicab radio.

"Thanks. Out." He switched off. "It works. That was pretty easy, wasn't it?"

Enlisted man, hell! And not even trained on Soviet equipment! the October's electronics officer thought. It never occurred to him that this piece of equipment was a near copy of an obsolete American FM system. "How long have you been a sonarman?"

"Three and a half years, sir. Since I dropped out of college."

"You learn all this in three years?" the officer asked sharply.

Jones shrugged. "What's the big deal, sir? I've been foolin' with radios and stuff since I was a kid. You mind if I play some music, sir?"

Jones had decided to be especially nice. He had only one tape of a Russian composer, the Nutcracker Suite, and had brought that along with four Bachs. Jones liked to hear music while he prayed over circuit diagrams. The young sonarman was in Hog Heaven. All the Russian sets he had listened to for three years--now he had their schematics, their hardware, and the time to figure them all out. Bugayev continued to watch in amazement as Jones' fingers did their ballet through the manual pages to the music of Tchaikovsky.

Beaumont, at Cal Tech we used to do this in our sleep. You hear it now?

Wait a minute.

Maybe.

Um...

It's buried in surface clutter?

Yes.

I should go to SAPS?

Correct, Seaman Beaumont. Signal algorithmic processing systems. Give it a week, and you'll be teaching at Cal Tech. So... like Beethoven on the computer, you have labored to produce... a biologic.

A what?

A whale, Beaumont. A whale... A marine mammal that knows a hell of a lot more about sonar than you do. Kill the SAPS. Train over to 2-6-9 and let's try it again.

If he gets to ragging on you too bad, ask him about Pavarotti.

We don't have time for sea stories. I was in the middle of teaching Seaman Beaumont the intricacies of modern sonar.

Now...

I ain't chief of the boat. I'm Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.

Cob, please. Come on, Cob. Tell me.

OK. Fine. Go ahead.

Ahem... Seaman Jones here, he's into music in a big way. He figures this whole boat is basically just his own personal, private stereo set. He gets this piece of Pavarotti...

Paganini.

Whatever.

Paganini.

This is my story, OK?

Tell it right. Pavarotti's a tenor. Paganini was a composer.

OK. So he's got this music, and he's got it out in the water. He's listening on his headsets, happy as a clam. Then all hell breaks loose. A slew of boats out of San Diego...

Including one way out at Pearl.

Including one way out at Pearl. All of a sudden, they start hearing...

Pavarotti.

Pavarotti... coming out of their asses.

[ equipment alarm ]

What do I do?

I got it. Conn. Sonar. New contact, bearing 0-9-7. Designate contact number Sierra 3-5.

Captain, aye. What've you got, Jones?

Distant contact, probably submerged. It's a wild guess, but I'd say we hit a boomer coming out of the barn. Could be a missile boat out of Polijarny.

OK. Start your track. I'll be there in a minute.

Sonar, aye.

William J. Clinton

XLII President of the United States: 1993 - 2001

Letter to Senator Bob Dole on the Announcement of His Retirement From the Senate

May 15, 1996

Dear Mr. Leader:

As I mentioned when we spoke by phone earlier today, you have served your country in so many ways, and you should be proud of your 35 years in Congress. On behalf of a grateful America, as you retire from the Senate, I thank you for your service.

During the fall campaign, you and I will engage in what I believe is one of the most important jobs in our democracy, as we lead a great national debate about how best to move our country into the future. I look forward to participating with you in that discussion.

Until then, I believe that the coming weeks and months can be a moment of genuine bipartisan achievement in meeting the challenges we all face together. Before you go, I look forward to working with you and Speaker Gingrich, and afterwards with your successor, to move ahead to give our people a balanced budget, welfare reform, an increase in the minimum wage and the Kassebaum-Kennedy health care reform.

As you know so well, it is when we work together that we can truly make progress for our country and for the people who sent us here.

Sincerely,

BILL CLINTON

Lyndon B. Johnson

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969

31 - Statement by the President on the Death of Winston Churchill.

January 24, 1965

WHEN THERE was darkness in the world, and hope was low in the hearts of men, a generous Providence gave us Winston Churchill.

As long as men tell of that time of terrible danger and of the men who won the victory, the name of Churchill will live.

Let us give thanks that we knew him. With our grief let there be gratitude for a life so fully lived, for services so splendid, and for the joy he gave by the joy he took in all he did.

The people of the United States--his cousins and his fellow citizens--will pray with his British countrymen for God's eternal blessing on this man, and for comfort to his family.

He is History's child, and what he said and what he did will never die.

"Speed Of Sound"

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand?

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah when you see it then you'll understand?

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand?
