Also, I am having increasing doubts about my personal safety in this place. While I don't often spend time worrying about my personal safety because I have been in dangerous environments before, my real vulnerability is when I am asleep. It goes back to my time in the Persian Gulf in 1988. I haven't had a good nights sleep since then. We spent several months under constant danger of attack. A lot of ships hit mines in the same waters we traveled and other ships were hit with missiles, as well as my ship having to evade anti-ship missiles. I always wondered if I would awake from the impact of a missile or a mine. This environment reminds me of that situation, especially because I have spent the past 15 years living alone. I have woke up several times here at night to see someone staring into my room and I find that very intimidating. It puts me on edge, makes me think I may need to fight off some sudden, violent attack when I least expect it.

Fast Facts About Richard M. Nixon, America’s Lousiest President
WORDS BY JEF HARMATZ
POSTED ON AUGUST 8, 2014
Early in his congressional career, Richard Nixon would frequently urinate in the offices of his staff. The future president considered it “hilarious,” and, as photography became less expensive in his later life, wished that he had been photographed during one of these acts.

"Mutiny"
October 15 1995
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: We're Marines, Cooper. Not Tanks.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: What's gonna happen to Keats?
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: Keats and Ashby will stand trial for mutiny. Sorrell, for murder. Sorry - I'm sorry.
1LT Cooper Hawkes: What would you know about sorrow?
Lt. Colonel T.C. McQueen: I know this much. I never had the... courage to look for my family. Not because I was afraid of what I might find... but because I was afraid of what I might feel.
Somewhere in the Night (1946)
Christy Smith: How far do you think you'll get?
George Taylor: The nearest foxhole maybe. They'll be watching my hotel - all sorts of people.
Christy Smith: What's your name?
George Taylor: Taylor. George Taylor. It's all over town. I may run for dogcatcher. Look, I've gotta talk to somebody. I'll go crazy if I don't talk to somebody.
Christy Smith: I'm somebody.
George Taylor: I think you are. What do you know about amnesia?
Christy Smith: Not much. Something that happens to you. You forget who you are or where you belong. Isn't that it?
George Taylor: Yeah. Every now and then you read about it in the newspaper - a guy named John Doe was picked up in a fog. Never happens to anybody you know. It happened to me. Yeah. For all I know, I might have been born six months ago. That's a joke because six months ago I woke up in a hospital. That's where babies are born, in a hospital. Only this was different. It was in the South Pacific, and it wasn't the maternity ward.

The American Presidency Project
Lyndon B. Johnson
36th President of the United States: 1963 ‐ 1969
Statement by the President on the Need for Industry-Wide Procedures To Settle Manning Disputes on Automated Ships.
August 16, 1965
A general charter for the establishment of such procedures is contained in the unanimous Automation Report of the President's Advisory Committee on Labor-Management Policy:
1. Automation and technological progress are essential to the general welfare, the economic strength, and the defense of the Nation.
2. This progress can and must be achieved without the sacrifice of human values.
3. Achievement of technological progress without sacrifice of human values requires a combination of private and governmental action, consonant with the principles of a free society.
The contemplated procedures to be effective must provide the fullest practicable assurance that manning and related issues be settled without interruption of operations.
