This was hosted in conjunction with the vietnam traveling exhibit. Hello. Interlude, an interlude that will remind us of 50 years ago in a very different way, but i want to first make two informational points. One is, you see that poster that is over there . What that is is imagining the wall if it represented all of vietnamese, lao, and cambodian that were killed. Our numbers were the different than the ones we heard today, but in any case, the white is there, that recognition of all of the deaths is a far more massive issue. I would like to introduce mary poster, if she will stand up. You will hear her at the white house tonight. Poignantlyer speak about her situation. Mary is from ball state university, where they organized the o
That comes to mind . Hasne of the highlights the that i was covering mets in 1969 when they finally won. They wouldnt let me in the press box because i was a girl as they said in those days. I had already covered the indianapolis 500 where i had been the only woman in the country. I found this interesting because it was a magic place to work. Styleradley hired me for and it really transformed and revolutionized the paper business. It is not at all like it was then. You would do 2000word pieces and people would read them. That business of not being able to go into the press box to itand file my copy struck home and read smith, the great columnist wrote aps saying, isnt it time we change some of these rules . I felt it was a bit of moving on up for women. What excuse did they give . Because i was a woman. They just didnt have women in the press box. They just to say that if a woman was on a ship, it was bad news for the ship. I have no idea, but they just banned them. There were a lot of

Out is that the germans at salerno used experimental glider bombers, Remote Control glider bombers and that almost caused the operation to be a failure for the United States. Yeah. And so did the german do you know if the germans used those same tactics in any other phase of the war . The germans were fiendish in coming up with new gadgets and one that they used against us for the first time was a glide bomb called the fritz x. And it was a bomb that was dropped from an airplane and then it was guided by the pilot with a little joy stick. And he could guide the bomb very similar to the way bombs some bombs are guided today, actually guided before the new technologies allowed you to use gps systems.
