crime. Numerous conspiracy theories have evolved because of this lack of

information. When you see notorious criminals going to and from jail,

with armed guards, wearing body armor themselves, this is where it started.

As much as many would like to see these animals die, protecting them until the

judicial process is completed is common practice.)

«I am about to sign into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964.» — PRESIDENT LYNDON

JOHNSON

(He became President following the assassination of President John Kennedy.

Civil rights was a major goal for Kennedy, but he would not likely have had

the same success that Johnson did. Johnson was able to pass this legislation

becuase he was from the South (Texas). He had been Majority Leader of the U.S.

Senate and knew how to get things through Congress. In addition,

he apparently would do whatever was necessary to get what he wanted.)

«The Beatles!» «And today I ordered to Vietnam the Air Mobile Division.

«But I dream things that never were; and I say, «Why not?»)

«That s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.» — ASTRONAUT NEIL

ARMSTRONG

(as he became the first man to set foot on the moon. This was a goal that

President Kennedy had declared. The saying was mis-stated, however.

It should have been «That s one small step for me, one giant leap for mankind»

«It s a free concert from now on.»

Henry Aaron.»

reasons she did this was to shield him from a possible assassin.)

the Presidency." — SENATOR DAN QUAYLE

(Vice Presidential candidate)

«Senator, you re no Jack Kennedy.» — SENATOR LLOYD BENTSEN of Texas

(In the televised debate between Vice Presidential candidates, it is hard to

imagine how any speech writer could have made such a disastrous blunder.

For the young, inexperienced, not-to-bright Quayle to refer to the revered

former President so casually as «Jack» was not appropriate. Comparing himself

to Kennedy was beyond laughable.)

«Mr. Gorbachov, tear down this wall.» — PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

(to Soviet Prime Minister Michael Gorbachov, referring to the Berlin Wall.

This had been erected to separate the Russian and Allied sectors of the city.

It kept the West out, but it s primary purpose was to keep East Germans from

escaping.)

REAGAN
