People see the world only from their own perspective.
Anything beyond your own narrow horizon is incomprehensible to you.
And people don't like knowing that about themselves

This code-pattern I've established is very simple

A complex pattern, however, requires a very complex software program
And "my* implementation requires a lot of skill just to get it to work right. Only skilled programmers could get it to work.

October 1966
From Wikipedia
The following events occurred in October 1966:
October 31, 1966
A footlocker, containing the materials from the 1963 autopsy of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was brought to the National Archives Building following an authorization by the Kennedy family, and opened in the presence of the officials from the Archives, the Government Services Administration, and the U.S. Department of Justice, on condition that the contents not be available for five years. When an inventory was made, eight of the nine sets of items were available, the stainless steel container that had contained Kennedy's brain was found to be empty. Explanations differ, with some authors believing it to be part of the coverup of a conspiracy, the custodian, Burke Marshall would testify in 1978 that the brain tissue was disposed of by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in order to prevent it from being "placed on public display in future years in an institution such as the Smithsonian."

Erica: [closing narration] I never saw the Eckert Brothers again. In time, this war - like every other war - ended. But I never forgot. And I come to this place often, when no one else does.

Erica: "... In the early days of World War 3, guerillas - mostly children - placed the names of their lost upon this rock. They fought here alone and gave up their lives, so that this nation should not perish from the earth."

Quotes
Col. Andy Tanner: [Describing the invasion] West Coast. East Coast. Down here is Mexico. First wave of the Soviet attack came in disguised as commercial charter flights the same way they did in Afghanistan in January 1980. Only they were crack Airborne outfits. Now, they took these mountain passes in the Rockies.
Jed Eckert: So, that's what hit Calumet?
Col. Andy Tanner: I guess so. They coordinated with selective nuke strikes and the missiles were a hell of a lot more accurate than we thought. They took out the silos here in the Dakotas, key points of communication.
Darryl Bates: Like what?
Col. Andy Tanner: Oh, like Omaha, Washington, Kansas City.
Darryl Bates: Gone?
Col. Andy Tanner: Yeah. That's right. Infiltrators came up illegal from Mexico. Cubans mostly. They managed to infiltrate SAC bases in the Midwest, several down in Texas and wreaked a helluva lot of havoc, I'm here to tell you. They opened up the door down here, and the whole Cuban and Nicaraguan and Latin American armies come walking right through, rolled right up here through the Great Plains.

Harvey Weir Cook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harvey Weir Cook (June 30, 1892 – March 24, 1943) was an American fighter ace in World War I and Distinguished Service Cross recipient. He was also a pioneer in civilian commercial aviation and a leading figure in the development of aviation in the United States and in state of Indiana.
Later in Indianapolis, he was involved in the development of the first dive bombing sight for the United States Army. He fought for military recognition of the airplanes’ potential and was part of the group of officers who “lost favor” with the Army during the court martial of General Billy Mitchell. Cook served for many years as director and vice president of the American Legion National Aeronautics Commission in Indianapolis and was later the first American Legion National Director of Aviation. Cook became involved in recognizing the Wright Brothers’ contributions to flying. The Smithsonian did not recognize the brother’s flight at “Kitty Hawk” in 1903 as the first powered aircraft flight. Due to his dogged determination, the flight was eventually officially recognized in 1940 as the first powered flight.
