Quotes
Recorded Voice: Good morning, Mr. Briggs. General Rio Dominguez, the dictator of Santa Costa, makes his headquarters in the Hotel Nacionale. We've learned that two nuclear warheads furnished to Santa Costa by an enemy power are contained in the hotel vault. Their use is imminent. Mr. Briggs, your mission, should you decide to accept it, would be to remove both nuclear devices from Santa Costa. As always, you have carte blanche as to method and personnel, but of course should you or any member of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. As usual, this recording will decompose one minute after the breaking of the seal. I hope it's "welcome back," Dan. It's been a while.

Daydream
#6: God is watching out for you, Gaius.
Baltar: The universe is a vast and complex system; coincidental, serendipitous events are bound to occur. Indeed, they're to be expected. They're part of the pattern, part of the plan.
#6: Dr. Amarak posed a threat to you. Now he's gone. Logic says there's a connection.
Baltar: A connection, maybe, but not God. There is no God, or gods, singular or plural. There are no large, invisible men -or women, for that matter- in the sky, taking a personal interest in the fortunes of Gaius Baltar.
#6: Be careful: that which God gives he can also take away.
Galactica - Command
Gaeta: 15 seconds.
Tigh: Maybe this time.
Adama: Dradis?
Gaeta: No enemy contacts.
Adama: Keep the clock running.
Tigh: What do you think?
Adama: I think we wait.
Galactica - Command / Colonial One
Adama: Get me the President.
Roslin: (on the "phone") Why this time? Was it something that you did?
Adama: (also on the "phone") We had a new plan, but we didn't have time to implement it yet.
Roslin: Well, we lost that ship during the last cycle, the Olympic Carrier. Did that have something to do with it?
Adama: Possibly.

MOVIE REVIEW
Screen: Glimpse of Life in 800,000 A.D.:The Time Machine Opens at Warner Version of H.G. Wells Thriller Is in Color
By BOSLEY CROWTHER
Published: August 18, 1960
A SOMEWHAT happier view of the future than H. G. Wells was moved to provide in his now classic science-fiction thriller (1895), "The Time Machine," is limned in the movie version of it, which opened at the Warner yesterday.

I say, it's outright rude of him!
He's merely been detained.
This is such a waste of time!
If he's not coming, I have more important things to do.
Well, speak up. What is it, woman?
Well, are we or are we not invited for dinner?
Apparently we are.
How long has he been gone?
I'm not certain, sir. Several days. I've hardly seen him for some time. He never leaves the lab. He only comes in and picks at his food. But he did tell me about dinner, and left those instructions.
Thank you, Mrs. Watchett.
What's it say, Filby? What's wrong?
Nothing, really. George says that if he's not here by we're to begin without him.
Walter, what time is it?
Dinner is served, gentlemen.
First sensible thing I've heard all evening.
This is peculiar. He's usually prompt, precise and punctual.
He's making fools of us by not showing up. It's ungentlemanly.

Roslin: Are you there?
Adama: Yeah, I'm here.

Clinton Team Picks Apart Jones's Life
By Peter Baker and Lorraine Adams
Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, February 23, 1998; Page A01
The 11th-floor New York Avenue law offices with a strategic view of Washington's majestic landmarks are a fair distance from the one-stoplight town of Lonoke, Ark. But these days there is little about Lonoke's most famous native daughter that is not known in the polished suites of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
Piece by piece, President Clinton's top-dollar legal team has taken apart the life of Paula Jones, examining topics from her job history to her possible sex partners. They turned up a check she bounced when reimbursing the Arkansas government for personal calls made on state phones. They found previous employers who fired her for tardiness or other reasons. They scoured personnel records and discovered she typed only 24 words per minute and scored 121 out of 174 on an Arkansas state clerical examination.
Venturing into more salacious territory, they interviewed as many as a half-dozen men who claimed to have had sex with her, including some who said they met her casually at parties or bars and then engaged in quick encounters, according to people close to the case. One former boss signed an affidavit alleging that she pursued him at work and that they slept together. After their short-lived relationship ended, he fired her -- in part, he said, because she dressed too provocatively.
Now that the lawyers essentially have finished gathering evidence and made the final pretrial effort to get Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit thrown out, a picture has emerged of who the president's defense team is and where it is headed. Led by veterans of past high-profile political cases, the Clinton legal squad is following an aggressive and political risky strategy centered on Jones herself. After all the attention focused on a president linked by fact or rumor to a host of women -- most recently and most perilously Monica S. Lewinsky -- Clinton's lawyers hope to turn the spotlight with blinding intensity on the life of his most persistent accuser.
"Does her story make sense? It's always been our position to point out why it doesn't make sense," said Mitchell S. Ettinger, a Clinton attorney. "No one's going to argue they weren't in a room together. And you don't have to call her a complete liar. But everything she's said -- about her injuries to her job, her reactions to this, her reasons for filing suit -- it's not going to add up."

The Rise of Adolf Hitler
By Jeremy Noakes
Last updated 2011-03-30
The drifter
Before embarking on a political career in September 1919 at the age of thirty, Adolf Hitler had been a nonentity. With no formal qualifications, he had become an aimless drifter and failed artist before joining the army on the outbreak of war in August 1914. There he was not considered worthy of promotion because of 'a lack of leadership qualities', although his award of the Iron Cross First Class showed that he did not lack courage.
Yet during the next 26 years he succeeded in gaining and exercising supreme power in Germany and, in the process, arguably had more impact on the history of the world in the 20th century than any other political figure. The explanation for this remarkable transformation lies partly in Hitler himself, in his particular personal qualities and gifts, and partly in the situation in which he found himself, with a nation in deep crisis.
Hitler's political career began in Munich when he joined the German Workers' Party (DAP), a tiny group of extreme nationalists and anti-Semites who saw their role as trying to win over German workers from the internationalist Social Democratic Party and, in the aftermath of defeat and revolution, to persuade people that Jews were primarily responsible for Germany's plight.
In July 1921, he took over the leadership of the party, by then renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), and, less than 12 years later, it had become the largest party in Germany and Hitler was Reich Chancellor. Why then did Hitler choose to join the NSDAP and effectively adopt politics as a career, and what personal qualities, abilities and political opinions did he bring with him from his previous life, which may help to explain his choice and his subsequent career?
