I'm Mike Wallace, and I'm Harry Raisner. All this and more on six minutes. It was the news film from Ethiopia that first made the world aware of African famine. It was the benefit concerts and records that commanded the world's attention and sympathy. But when the more dramatic efforts are over and attention inevitably shifts to new headlines, some people will still be continuing the long, slow battle against hunger. When I started the hunger project six years ago that was the year before all of our energy went into him learning to race championship cars, but the hunger project is still a most powerful form of reaching out into the world, and I'm very proud of it.

Angela Zinkletter runs the San Francisco Office of Werner Eisenhower's Hunger Project, a spin-off of his hugely successful F.T. programs, millions of dollars a year go into the hunger project. So this is a pretty important thing for you people. It's a very important thing. You know, we got kidded about and stereotyped and sort of dismissed, and when people find out about this, I think it gives us a little of our credibility back because we're reading out there doing something. And this is where they're doing it. The Airport Marriott Hotel, just outside of Philadelphia, the Saturday we visited, the hunger project had booked the Stuyverson Ballroom. There's some 700 of the hungriest people in Chad, the Sudan and Ethiopia had been flown to spend an entire weekend.

Why bring them here rather than go to them? Zinkletter says it because the culture shock works for them. We could work in their culture, like all the other agencies, but just forgetting for a minute about the disease and the shots and everything, they are from a culture of poverty, of hunger. Part of what we're into the possibility of is helping them create a new culture of plenty. You stick them in the airport Marriott for a weekend and you open their eyes. And their eyes stay open because like regular first-timers at an EFT seminar, they're not allowed to sleep at all during the entire weekend. When her eyes now and himself wouldn't speak to six minutes about his hunger project, but we were allowed to observe and record the first hour he spent in the Stuyverson Ballroom with almost 1,000 of the hungriest people in the world.

You see what you have to get? And by get, I mean in the sense of one who stands in the domain of an observer in your own life, in the way that that observer would get it. You have to get that you're not hungry because you don't get enough to eat. You don't exist in the realm where you have taken the responsibility for being in the possibility of the possibility of eating. Now what do I mean by the possibility of the possibility of eating? Don't ask that because this is not about meaning. This is about a conversation. This is about an inquiry. This is about you taking responsibility for being the kind of assholes who don't get

enough to eat. We're not about giving them food. We're about giving them a space where food could be. Besides the stomach. Frank Barman runs an airline. John Glanz in the Senate. Neil Armstrong still takes small steps for men as a popular after dinner speaker. But after their brief moment in a brighter sun than will ever see, most of America's crop of astronauts return to obscurity. And life of the average ex-astronaut is more likely to resemble out of ex-NASA spokesman John Shorty Powers who appeared in old mobile commercials. We wondered how astronauts prepare for life after space. Houston, Texas has been said to resemble Los Angeles giving itself a six bath.

Here at the Johnson Space Center, the entire Northwest Wing has given over to a process only a government agency could call de-astrononification. It's a very difficult adjustment for them. They've been special. They're going to return most of them to being pretty ordinary. We figured we got them into it. We might as well help get them out of it. Knowing rusty leffords is an old NASA hand. He's been involved with the astronaut program since the earliest days when the spacemen were still drinking real orange juice. They take a battery test or just design to find out what it is they might want to do with the rest of their lives. Then we try to design a training regimen. They can give them a good chance at self-sufficiency within the first nine days after their retirement. And in the case of certain very high interest areas like real estate, we do a lot of the training ourselves. Okay. The Bayer says, I don't know. I think I got to go home and talk to my husband or wife about this.

Why would you just call him from here while all of his other way over? We need to bail down the deal. Okay. A guy looks out the window and she says the freeway 100 yards from the front gate. Maybe it's because they've been away from the solid ground, but a lot of the astronauts seem to have their eye on a new career in real estate. So each month, real estate expert Sonny Barger comes to Houston to run a special intensive version of his millionaire's boot camp. These are very highly motivated people. They most of them have what it takes to truly break through in the real estate world today. I call them the three M's, motivation, mind power, and more energy than the average person has. These people are hot. And Q David. Going to be a little bit on the cool side tonight here in the area. Got a little pressure system moving into the area.

David Livingston flew on Apollo 17 and he spent the rest of his hitches the voice of Edwards Air Force Base. Now NASA's teaching him and three other future ex astronauts to be television weather persons. David, take the right hand down a little. You're supposed to be pointing at the weather map, not at the sky, okay? No problem. Of course, I can use the astronaut background to enhance the weather thing. For example, when it's cold, I can tell about how cold it is on the moon, you know, things like that. David, do you ever feel as if NASA is over preparing you? Shouldn't you folks just be put out to fend for yourselves like other grownups? Well I look at it this way, when they retire a dog from the Army K-9 Corps, they train him, right? I suppose. Well, this is equipping us to re-enter our natural habitat. The same way that re-entry was the most potentially troublesome time for our spacecraft. See you again.

This space background helps me communicate with and to you. As the astronaut core grows, so does the need for retraining. But insist rusty lefarts, it's worth it. Oh, we never have any problem getting them hired. Once the training's over, people know astronauts are a special breed they can stand out in any mainstream. Rusty, what is all this cost? Well, we don't break it out separately from the rest of our training mission, but look at it this way, it's a lot cheaper than keeping them in prison. I'm Harry Reasoner, and I'm Mike Wallace. We'll be back next week with another edition of Six Minutes. Like conditions around the world, London. Now London's traffic. In westbound on the A-40N, there are still long delays. In onesworth, all the traffic lights are out of synchronization, and that's causing problems.

And on the A-3, in onesworth, roadworks are still causing long delays. There are long eastbound delays on eastern road, and Gallows corner flyover is closed in both directions. Some train cancellations on southern region canon street to Dartford by Greenwich, the 610, and on eastern region, more gate to Welling Garden City, the 611 and the 631. Eastern region also say their service from Liverpool Street to the northeast of London will have delays in some cancellations. Traffic conditions around the world. Western Canada. Good afternoon, I'm Diane Bennett with a look at traffic in Calgary and in Edmonton. The accidents to report in Edmonton this hour, they are as follows, 115th Avenue and 124th Street, 134th Avenue, and Fort Road, 133rd Street, and 51st Avenue, 87th Avenue, and 50th Street, and 49th Street, and 93rd Avenue, and there is nothing to report right now in Cal

greys traffic. Traffic conditions around the world. Boston. All right, well, this will help with traffic control consists of the following. If you're traveling north to Cape Anna area, up in Route 95, 93 up to 495, it's sloppy, snow, wet, and slop, no major accumulation, only a couple of inches at best, but the traveling is very slickery, and there are plenty of little fender benders in places such as 495, north of 128, Route 93, Route 3, and north and west of 128. Numerous accidents, fender benders on those roads. In town, in Boston, it's wet, not too bad. Temperature still, of course, at 38 degrees, nothing is freezing solid yet, just a little bit messy, that's all. The accidents around the area include a multi-car accident, right smack in the middle

of the mass avenue bridge, that's jamming things up there pretty well. There's a three-car accident out in Lexington between routes 2 and 2A, that'll jam things up there. Route 128 is just heavy and slow, end to end. On the expressway, northbound south station tunnel still tied up by a disabled tractor trailer truck with a real big load. The accident southbound on by a mass avenue, two-car accident, that's been cleared from the scene. Downtown traffic, basically heavy and slow going at the moment, however, and here's the big surprise. At the moment, Storo Drive and Cambridge Parkway are relatively empty, so if you have to get some place in those two roads, may get you there, try Storo or Cambridge, they're in pretty good shape at the moment. Please drive carefully, get home safely. Hi, I'm no carter, happy Hanukkah for all of us on Gimia's Rake. Ring out the old and ring in the new, that's the joyous message from old Father Time,

and a certain farmer we know, by name the famous one, couldn't agree more. But while old acquaintance be forgot, don't let pork sausage slip your mind, oh no, for whether you're waiting for the ball to drop at midnight, or hoping balls don't get fumbled the next afternoon, nothing celebrates the turning of the year better than the sizzling sound of sausages from the famous farmer, turning in the family skillet, and no wonder. As he most package and their pork is out here, the way the big 10s sends their teams, frozen. By the time they reach this outland, they're old hogsigned, and then some. But the famous farmer is as different as Gylem Bardo from Bridget Bardo. He brings his proud pork is out here alive, then he dresses him fresh in their party best. Finally, his party picklets get the hangover cure, literally. They hang and cure over native western wood. So when you think of these prime poikies squealing their last, think also of these squeals

of delight from family and friends. When you spice up your new year celebrations with the big champagne of ground and processed pig meat, and it's a resolution it's so easy to keep. As long as your grocery keeps it in his meat case, patty or links, plan your own bowl game, and score with bowls of mulk hearty sausages, compliments of the famous firmery. Tuesday, an especially edition of NBC's Sunday Night of the Movies. The story of love, passion, and rock n' roll, torn from the pages of last month's movie, John and May bang, a different kind of love story. John, you've left the building, then you've left your car, where do you stop?

I don't know me, maybe it's a troubadour for a drink. He was loves it, lonely, and 3,000 miles from home. She was oriental, it was a match made in Hollywood, and only the stars got burned. John, why are you wearing that coat text on your forehead? Because I don't have anywhere else to wear it. And when the joy ride was over, he didn't have to imagine the tears. John, why are you going back to New York? No, but Sean is there. And so is Elegant Mint. He played mind game. She was the Walter. Together, they were John and May bang, a different kind of love story. Tuesday at 9 on NBC, the network of Mussolini and Sun.

Ootyl Webster, a family honor, full gas fallen, looking alright. TV goodness is overflowing, and I think I'm good to watch tonight. Great stars dressed in the latest styles, laughs and smiles, feel so bright. ABC is overflowing, and I think I'm going to watch tonight.

Loveboat Growing pains is sweet. I think I'll watch it down the street. That's the way to be with friends. Right before me, the stars work for me. Help me feel like I'm doing alright.

ABC is overflowing, and I think I'm going to watch tonight. I think I'll watch it down the street. I think I'll watch it down the street. Kobe's lived dynasty. They ran their rule. Blue lines is good as romance in the storm. Wait who's the boss? I never feel alone.

So I ask you, is that ask you? Don't folks need entertainment? That's plain to see. East and nighttime, AMOP. They just won't never work. Will you find me? That's why I love ABC. Nightline and bringing world news tonight. Good morning America. Help me see the light. After school is special. Help me bring the kids up right. So I ask you, is that ask you? Don't folks need information?

Keep themselves free. Am I that I football? A or NFC? Ain't there just one network? Will you want to be? That's why I love ABC. I really mean it. That's why I love ABC. Hello, I'm Tom Broca, NBC News. And from the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. This is a special Super Bowl halftime report. The Century Plaza is the headquarters of President Ronald Reagan when he's in Los Angeles. And he's here with me for these few moments this afternoon.

Hello, Mr. President. Good afternoon Tom. I just want to say what a pleasure it is to be here with you on this great day for football. Well, that's a great day for television too, sir. For what? Television. Television, yes. Mr. President, it would be very tempting to allow oneself to use the leverage of this opportunity if I shed some light on your feelings about the pride of our hostages held in Lebanon or the ongoing struggle between the Israelis and the Palestinians, or even our most current challenge from Colonel Qaddafi's Libya. But I'd like to let the focus shift to larger topics. We've left 1985 and we've left with the blind faith inspired by the calendar. It is a rank the possibly wrongly path of a new year. Where would you like to see America go as the day is rank then?

What would you like to see this country accomplish? Accomplish. Yes, sir. Well, Tom, as you know, during the election campaign, we talked so often about that shining city on a hill that America could be. Well, in our first five years, I think we've done a pretty good job of building that hill. Now, we've got to concentrate our national energies for the next little while and getting that beacon lit. And how do we ride it? Well, I think by realizing for one thing that whatever our differences, we all share a common interest in keeping the Democrats from regaining control of the Senate this November. Well, I can appreciate that as a Republican, your sentiments might lie in that direction, sir. But I was speaking in the spirit of this day, Tom, in a totally non-partisan manner. I think even Democrats have an interest in seeing Republicans continue to control the Senate.

This is something almost all of us can agree on except for Tip O'Neill. Yes, sir. As speaking of leadership, that leads us to a subject I think is close to the hearts of everyone listening today. How do you relate the lessons of the Super Bowl to the job of political leadership? I'm sorry, to what job? Political leadership. Pretty good readership? Political leadership. Oh, political leadership? Yes, sir. Well, Tom, that's a very good question. The sort of thing I guess I'd expect from a reliable anchor. I guess, sir. Of course, you know I used to play football. I think that even though this was long before the time of the Super Bowl, as a matter of fact, I played the game so long ago that when we threw the pig skin, it still had the pig in it. That's a little difficult to believe, sir. It's easy for you to say.

But I'll never forget what my coach told me in college. And I guess it applies to what we're trying to do with the federal government. He said, his name was Jim DeNofrio. I'll never forget it. He said, no, it was Jim DeNofrio. Anyways, not important. What he said was the point here. He said, keep your head up and try not to drop the ball. Tom, I don't think Ben Franklin or Tom Jefferson could have put in any better. At least I hope he didn't, or I've got the wrong speech raters. Mr. President, just before we take a leave of you to resume our live coverage of the granddaddy of all pro-championship football games, I must ask you a one question that may be a little less on the right side. But that relates to this issue of leadership as it applies not only to the great iron, but to real life as well. Do you think it's better to be good or to be lucky? Well, Tom, this is the kind of thing that makes you pretty much almost the most respected person in your field.

You're asking me really to kind of dig down into my philosophy. Really, your philosophy of life. There you go. Well, sure, like there's into everything we do. I mean, you could be filling in for the guy who fills in for you during the holidays. Derek Utley? I guess so. Instead of vice versa. You described that at least partially to Locke? Well, of course, you know, you make your own breaks. The great ones are there when the key plays have to be made. And when the shouting's over, the shame of it is that one of these two great teams is going to have to go home, not having won this game. One of them will have to leave as a loser. You bet you. And I don't want America ever to be in that position. I don't think the good Lord put us here to go home and lick our wounds. Well, what should we be looking at your opinion? Well, Tom, I kind of think we're like the 18-pound gorilla.

We should be looking whoever we want to. Well, say that's some gorilla. Mr. President, personally, I could spend several more minutes engaged in dialogue with you. But the teams are lining up to play the second half. So we have to call an end to my visibility for today. Thank you for taking the time out to have a busy schedule on this most important of all of America's televised sports occasions. Well, Tom, it was my pleasure. I guess I'll see you at our next summit meeting. Well, with any luck. Excuse me? Luck. That's it from the Century Plaza. I'm Tom Brocar in BC News, Los Angeles. Lean on us. The pride of a nation.

And Dennis Conner has brought the cup back home. It becomes the shame of the decade. Now, you will turn the trophy over to Comrade Turner. I will. Unless you want to spend several years in the Golag. Your thoughts don't scare me, Comissar. And your roommate will be Ben Stein. You wouldn't. It's ten years from now. Everything is the same, except the Russians have conspired to steal the most coveted prize in world yachting. On a special ABC wide world of sports later today. America's Cup with two Ks. It'll almost make you think. From the whole's total collection. The West leading active archive of historic storylines.

Come tales of action, intrigue and adventure. In our nation's executive mansion. Hellcat of the White House. Our story opens in room 117 of the old executive office building. The president is meeting with several members of the commission he appointed to investigate the national security council. The chairman, John, is briefing the president. Now, Mr. President, you brought the notes. Oh, yeah. I got them right here. Him written. You know, I just jotted them down at the tank. Therefore, as memoirs. Now, down, we're going to be talking to the president here this morning, not to you. All right. Okay, John, I understand. Oh, by the way, I got word this morning. That extension you wanted on the deadline for your report. That's fine with us.

Oh, excellent. Who'd you get word from? Me. Oh, of course. Otherwise, it might be deemed an attempt to influence our work by the man who voted us. John, there's no chance of that. He's been replaced. Sir, you appointed us. You know, that reminds me of the thing that welfare queens said when they found her in her second role's voice. Sir, I'm going to call the session to order now. Oh, all right. Oh, I'll be right over there, sir. Oh, sure. And I'm stuck here. You know, Don, maybe Nancy's got a point. All right, this session of the President's Commission on... All right, relax, everybody. That's the white phone. Thank you, Mr. Regan. Very confident. Yeah. Okay. It's for you, Mr. President. Okay. Yellow. Rad. Money. I'm sorry to bother you while you're up there, but I just had the worst talk with Casper. I'll be just a second here, John.

No problems, sir. You fellas can start without me if you want to. It's fine, sir. We'll wait for you. Oh, swell. Mummy, I talked to Camp a week ago. He was just chomping at the bit to testifying this whole budget deal. He had this cock and bull thing. He was going to try out and send it to armed services. And he told me he wants out by March 1st. Okay, let's just check our questions, gentlemen, while we're waiting. March 1st. It's this month. In a way. Run. He says he and Don are like... Matter. And anti-matter. He says you've got to choose. Just to be a second here, John. The nation's business, sir. Oh, yeah. Well, mummy, I guess if I have to choose... Run, it's too late to be Walter Pigeon. You've got to be Ronnie Reagan. Could we get some coffee in here, sir? Manuel is bringing over a terrain of fresh white house chaba. Let me troubleshoot that.

Run. I guess the chips have to fall where they may, mummy. I don't say... Matter. What? You said I had to choose. Ronnie, who did you choose? Well, which was which. Which one was Matt? Just put it over there, Manuel. Yes, sir, Mr. President. There you go, Senator. Run. Think about it. It kept us. George is out of here faster than... than Zannick was out of Fox in 57. I'll call you back. Sorry, senators. Oh, well, that's all right, Mr. President. Zannick just needed some advice. Dick Zannick called here? That's Dick Zannick, Darryl's son, Senator. This man keeps up. Mr. Reagan, I believe I mentioned before... our intention to focus at this particular session on the President himself. You got me. Excellent. Now, sir, can you recreate as best you can with the help of your notes? Yes. What Mr. McFarlane told you about discussions with Mr. Gurbanafar? All right, sir.

I'll do my best. Let me just find Gurbana for these notes. They're handwritten, so they're a little bit hard to read. You know, I particularly remember Mr. Gurbanafar... because he smoked those little blue cigarettes. Of course, he liked Warner's smoked those. He liked Warner? Was he on the NSC staff, Mr. President? Oh, oh, no, no, Senator. He was the Warner brother that didn't go into the business. Exactly. Jack used to say he was the only one in the family who truly understood entertainment. Gee, he felt his eye. Lunch, one hour. We've got catering set up downstairs, Senator. All right, gentlemen. I guess we'll resemble in one hour. And you'll need me, or should I just leave the notes? You know, they're handwritten. They were confidential up until last night. All right, sir. I know you're still recuperating. Why don't we go over the notes today?

If we need to back, we'll call over. I don't know. Why don't you? Later that evening, the president is in the Mrs. Calvin Coolidge bedroom, leaving through a Louis Lamour novel. Nancy is having her heels sanded. Hold still, Mrs. I'm sorry, Julia. Ron? Mm-hmm. Don't you think it's time to call Bud McFarlane and say something? Now, mommy, we agreed I was going to call him at the appropriate time. Well? Well, he's got the 30th winning anniversary coming up in a couple of years. Ron, George called me just before you came back. He said you shouldn't take this the wrong way, but he's thinking of leaving by April 15th.

Huh? When has he got tax problems? You are taking it the wrong way. Mommy, remember when we used to look forward to the second term? It was going to be easier. What happened? You're asking me? I'd say... Don happened. No, mommy. Why do you think Larry left? Why do you think Pat left? Pat left? Ron, I used to worry about our friends being stripped away from us by... the actions of others. Now they're just walking away on their own. Why didn't Pat call me? You were busy resting. Ronnie, everyone says the same thing. Mommy, you remember that strange little guy at CBS? Archie Selenco? Yes. No one says Bill Pity, why he kept him up? He was a vice president or something. Bill said he knew the fellow who wasn't very smart and turned people off with his personality

and didn't have a real good idea of what he was doing. But Bill said, at least I know he's not stealing. Ron, we're like a patient in critical condition whose vital organs are getting up and walking away from him. I never heard of catastrophic care, but this is ridiculous. Oh, come on, mommy. Put a smiling face in that sour push. Ronnie, I just can't. Yeah, come on now. The earrings are going to start soon. And just watch. Everything's going to come out fine. Do you think so? Don't you? When the Constitution prescribed a separation of powers, was it supposed to happen inside a single individual? Next time, rehearsing for handwriting notes on Hellcats of the White House. A buyer at Toys R Us recently told Buck and I

that we will win the diaper battle with PNG because they don't like to work retail and won't get their, quote, hands dirty, unquote. From the Homes Turtle Collection, the West's leading active archive of historic storylines come tales of action, adventure, and romance in our nation's executive mansion, Hellcats of the White House. Our story opens in the Gerald Ford's day room

of the presidential residence. The president is relaxing and his recliner, or reclining in his relaxer, watching his weekly highlights tape of the McLachlan group. With him as he is still trusted aid, done. Oh, damn it. I must have, president, you shouldn't really get so excited. It's just talk. What? I'll be on the beltway. This administration's mandate is as strong as ever. Oh, then. No, listen, done. How do you get this thing to freeze? I want to freeze to look on Novak's face. A hot one-time worry. He really does look like this kid who is quarterbacking us my senior year at Cummings. But every time I hit freeze, the damn thing goes black on me. Here, let me see that. There you go. There's freeze. See, you are hitting stop. Oh, really. Too many buttons.

Same thing with these new phones. Yeah. Mr. President, I was serious about the reservoir of support we've got out there. Now, it's important for all of us. Are you tap into that? Let's figure out a two-weeker starting in, say, a couple of weeks. Don't seem to understand. Oh. Is it this? Is the Reagan administration at his most? Too late. No, no, no, here. No, look. Done. Obviously, doesn't this fellow look like Jerry Horn today? I told you about his throwing arm. That's the, I thought the window was open story. Hmm. I love that. I told him to one of the new kids in the office. Oh, you like this new guy, sir. It's straight out of the Marine Officer card. Doesn't have that, you know, strange bureaucratic caution that destroyed Alley North. He'll be working on McFarland while we're out on the road. Here's, uh, kind of a tentative, like, tentary. Done. I can't believe you're doing this. Are there four color stuff? I did it on the Macintosh. This whole idea. What do you mean? Look, I only agreed to do photo opportunities last week

because you swore to me reporters wouldn't be allowed in anymore. Sir, I told you it was an accident. Somebody let Chris Wallace in because he was lugging him any cam. It's now stealing all there I am. All I can think about is the throbbing in my damn keyster. Yes. And here's Chris Wallace yelling at me. Well, Mr. Schmere is just, you know, sitting there. Schamere. Schamere, Schamere. The point is, if they can't protect me in the White House, I'm sure his head not going out on the road where every kid reporter who wants to get an anchor slide on the local news can come out and take potshots at me. Sir, this doesn't sound like you talking. Well, right then, wasn't it? That was you talking. This is me talking. Look, I mean, these don't sound like your thoughts. This isn't the can-do Ronald Reagan I signed on to run. This sounds... If you'll pardon me, sir. It sounds like Mrs. Reagan.

Oh, where? There's... Ron, I... Mommy. I'm sorry, dear. I didn't know you were... alone. Oh, that's okay. I'm Mrs. Reagan, I... I'll be somewhere else if you need me, Ron. Something stinks in here. I mean, don't let that upset you too much, Dunn. She's still kinda cranky with me today. I think it's... because we were watching America with a K-lash night and I kinda feel a sleep on her. Uh-huh. You know, you never know with the gals, really. You don't have to protect me, sir. I know what's going on around here. Obviously, if I matched up one-on-one with your wife, I have no future here. But I've always assumed that our relationship existed on a... a slightly different plane. Well, it's true.

I don't know, maybe it's just an instinctive masculinity that we share, whatever. I'm perfectly happy to go whenever you decide that you're ready to hang it up. But if I'm staying, that means we're fighting. And you've gotta get out in the country because that's where the ring is. All right, now, now, Dunn. Uh-huh. You know that I'd love a good fight. The students at Berkeley through the Rebels in Grenada have always had kind of a nose for a good little scrap. But why don't we just do a couple of TV things? You know, spare the old-timers' legs. Like always used to say, one good TV shot was worth kissing a million babies' asses. Look, sir, we've scheduled you to appear only at the most dedicated conservative type of ants. You'll be speaking to audiences whose love for you is not gonna pussy out when the Tower Commission report is released. When that love, plus, you know, your normal thing, comes across on the tube, we're home-free faster than the match on a round trip. All right, let me just see here.

SDI supporters for them. Citizens for a drug-free Nicaragua. Americans united for mining and national parks. These all do seem like pretty decent folks. Just go with the program on this one, sir. It's much better for you to be out of Washington when Bob McFarlane has his next suicide attempt. But is he going to have another one? Isn't he? Meanwhile, if you could just talk to Mrs. Reagan. Oh, I'll talk to her. It comes with the territory. Yeah, well, if you could just tell her that I'm truly sorry that I hung up on her. Look, look, look, done. You and Nancy are the two most trusted folks I've got in my life right now. If I let you two keep squabbling like this, I'd be some kind of a jackass, wouldn't I? I guess you would, sir. I guess you would. Meanwhile, later that evening,

Nancy is in the White House kitchen. As preparations go on for the evening meal, she is on the phone with the president's formerly trusted aide. But... But just hold out till the commission report is released. Don't can't survive that. Then you'll see. I don't know, Nancy. I... I just don't know. Look, bud, it's so simple. Immediately after that report comes out, you'll be ABC person of the week. Off of that, you can get a book deal. And we can get on with the... with the salvaging of our presidency. Look, Nancy, right now taking any more volumes is the last thing on my mind. Well, you see. But I can't tell you how I'll feel tomorrow. I might wake up and... and not see David Hartman, and that alone might just send me right back down. But... as sure as there's beef friggin' you on boiling up a couple of inches below my nose,

this thing's turning around. Just hang in there. For the sake of your family. For the country. For the... You were mommy. I... Run! Well, thanks very much. And remember to keep saying no. These ex-addicts attract me down everywhere. That's the good thing they learned from addiction persistence. Hello, honey. Mommy, I have to ask you something. Yes, dear. Remember last year when we had those bombing raids on Lebanon, Libya? Yeah. Will I ever forget it? We drank raspberry schnapps with buddy Epps in that first night. We were great. That I remember. But did I authorize them specifically in order to kill that Gaddafi fella? And the New York Times says that I did. Yeah. Honey, this is why it would have been a good idea to really have handwritten notes. Well, I know, but it's too late now.

We could have had a continuity girl or something doing it all along. It doesn't have to come back to me. Well... Anyway, I sort of remember saying at some function that it was instantly at military targets. Well, dear. Oh, wait a minute. I remember now. Sure. It was a... It was the Michigan Republican Women's State. I told you about that. It was terrible little Marzipan elephants for dessert. That report's coming out this week. I think we have to assume the worst. And prepare ourselves for life after dawn. Now, mommy, with Bill Casey out of commission, and bud between suicide attempts and everyone else bailing out like... like Amelia Earhart's crew. You've got to have you and Don getting along. Now, Don makes him darn good points about me going back out there. You know, get back on the horse that threw you. That's sort of thing. Run. Don's the horse that threw you. And now he's come up lame.

Well, I still think it'd be good to get out of Washington. Get back to the 910 to this country that's still country. Look, Ron. We had to have Mr. Robello resigned from the country in order to save them. It's the same thing here. Don's our Mr. Robello. You know, mommy. This guy is spoiling perfectly good beef stew. He's just so employing a bottle of wine into it. Ron, we've got to think seriously about Don's successor. Why don't we go upstairs and help you think about it? You know, I never could resist an offer like that. You little spitfire. Last one in bed has to watch the news. If you were the vice president, wouldn't you be getting several more heartbeats away right now? Next time, rehearsing for going public on Hellcats of the White House.

The Battle of the White House. You know these spin-its? Yeah. Well, they kind of based on those old beer commercials that used to be on their radio, right? Yeah, I remember those. I liked them. I think it's kind of 80s that the programs are copying the commercials. Yeah. You know, on these vignettes? Yeah. Well, I know we're supposed to identify with the people we're listening to. That's the whole idea.

Well, it's weird because I kind of identify more with the girl. It's funny. So do I. Hey North Texas and South Oklahoma, why not give us a try?

Romance and adventure. In our nation's executive mansion. Hellcats of the White House. Our story opens as the president and first lady spend their first weekend at their future retirement residence at 666 St. Cloud Drive in Bel Air. In the spacious residence, whose address has been changed to 6668 to avoid satanic implications, the president is on the phone in the ground floor down. In the adjacent Grand Bathroom, Nancy stares into the mirror, wielding an electric nose hair signature. Anyway Mr. President, I was just calling to find out if he managed to see the interview we did. David, yeah, not only did I see it, but I remember it as if it was taped yesterday. Well, it was taped the day before yesterday. Well, there you go. But no, I did see it. And I thought your gaffer, you know,

the lighting better. Yeah. He's one hell of a jerk. Man, he's good. He's very good. He works on our Sunday show, and he made Gene Kirkpatrick's looks like she just hated one of her parents. And that was a very nice, simpatico we had going there. Well, I wasn't there to get an unused out of it. Well, that, but also when you said you thought I liked people, I got the feeling that you'd like people who'd like people. I do. Well, that came through. As long as they're buying the bourbon. Mr. Bradley? Yes. No, I was just wondering, we lost contact. Oh, no danger of that, David. These are army phones, $2700 a piece. No, they're good. Yes, sir. No, I was just, I just knew there was something in it, so I wanted to tell you.

Well, just to do some of the broadcast was compliment enough, sir. It's just that I've lost a second card for this phone call. It had good buy on it, I know that, but damn, if there wasn't something else out there. Bradley, the titles will be here in 15 minutes. You're not going to greet them in a cloud, flannel, pajama. Well, David, Nancy's giving me hail Columbia. Let me just thank you and everyone at the network for helping to make my last interview, my... my best interview. Thank you, sir. And again, if our offer to be irregular in the Sunday program is of interest to you, you can always let us know. Well, again, David, thank you. I think my real response to that was on the card, but just man-to-man right now, leading towards this deal to co-host incredible Sunday. But no, well, bye-bye, Merry Christmas. Same to you, sir, and your family.

Who is that there? Oh, just the Brinkley fellow sends Christmas greetings to our family. They won't let us alone, will they? Even at Christmas, they have to have their ounce of flesh. They? Who? You know, darling. The media crowd. First, the National Enquiry runs front page, puff piece for your daughter's book. Well, now she's your daughter too, mommy. I was under anesthetic at the time. I... I wouldn't know. Anyway, now... this. What this? Sending greetings to the family is if we're supposed to pass them on to... to her. No. I know that other card is here someplace. You know, I was gonna give you a three by five card organizer for Christmas.

Mommy, I'll find it. Well, they have one at Sharper Image, but we have our tradition. It's right. Gifts for the range. That stud finder was a great present, mommy. You're welcome, darling. Thank you. Not that we're going to be spending all that much time at the range, I guess. No, darling, please don't start that again. Look what a wonderful house we have. It's big, and it's pretty, and it's smack in the middle of the west side. We're not ten minutes from Merv. Oh, it's fine, mommy. And if you decide you want to co-host people's court, it's ten minutes to the studio. I know. And the tunnels will be here in ten minutes, and you still look like a homeless person or something. That's what was on the card. I was supposed to tell the Brinkley Fetter that it was okay he left in my stuff about the homeless folks choosing to sleep on the grates and the water.

It was? Yep. Marlon said the focus group loved it. Yeah. I wonder what those people are going to do when we leave Washington. Which people? Marlon, he's going to... No, no, no, no. The focus group people. Are they going with Bush? The people who run the group? The people in the group. It's a different group each time. It is? Are you sure? Of course, I'm sure. They get them from some college. Pay them twenty dollars for an hour and send them home. See, there you go. People don't have to sleep on grates. They could do that. Of course, they'd be on a look one. They got sent home, but... Ronnie, if I didn't know a certain two-term president better, I'd swear he was doddling about changing his clothes because he didn't want to go to dinner with the titles. Oh, now, mommy, you know I think

Holmes and Taffy are wonderful folks. Of course, I enjoy seeing our California friends and all. It's just... What? Did I miss some nose hairs? No, no, no. I was just hoping with this big new house and all, we might stay home tonight and... Oh, you know, try out the bedroom. Oh, Ronnie, I'd love to. But he's bringing the people from incredible Sunday. Enough said, mommy. Enough said. When you cast a very long shadow, either you're extremely tall, or the sun is about to set. Next time, rehearsing for the end on Hellcats of the White House. Everybody, let's stay up real late.

It's America's favorite nerd. It is all new year-end special. Oh, look. Well, it's windy, the wind machine. Hi, windy. Hey, Pepe. Want to get blown? With special guest stars, Alan Thick. Pepe, what's your favorite thing about New Year's Eve? Ah, perhaps. No, no, no, no, no, no, the egg block. What's yours? The residuals and Mr. Rogers. Pepe. This is a very special closet. Hello. And do you know why? Ah, true. Because you're here. Pepe Melvins. New Year's Eve in the White House. I take closet. Saturday. I'll tell you what. I'm going to demand that somebody different be here tomorrow.

That's what I'm going to do. How many get somebody different tomorrow? You wait and see. You're not going to be here tomorrow. Now, take that. This other note, we had planned to bring you a special report tonight on tuberculosis. Still a serious medical threat in this country. However, due to the press of news, we'll have to bring you that report at a later date. Okay, now we're full. And several million people out there going, what news? What news? We just got through watching a 3D feature. Why? Why don't we put that there? I'm calling my uncle at CBS. Hey, don't tell anyone.

Hi. What's up? Oh, who's Bob Steele there? Okay. Do you see working on the lawn? I mean, she would not work with her friend. No, don't say probably. Yeah, but she would have some handy stuff to handle. Well, we'll have to meet with both of them. And I will have to meet with both of them. Because Ron, Eddie, is Ron the fond of death? Well, what's he going to do with anything? So are you. I don't understand what that means. You'll explain it to me, I hope.

I will talk to you shortly. Yes, anything else? Do you need more audio from me at the job? I'll be back to you. Bye. You've never understood that. Hey, do you know where the company is going to be? Yeah, it's time you two do. Let me tell you something. I will tell you later. I'm not on strike reports. You will find out in a ready and timely fashion. Today, things you can do to avoid being a target for airborne terrorism on USA Today, the radio show.

I'm Kenneth Walker in the USA. The tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103 is still clear in everyone's mind. So we asked experts how not to become a victim. Arnold Wiley of the FAA says there are things everyone in the USA can do. You can arrive at your flight early and conversely leave the airport a little later. You can make sure you're only carrying on one item of baggage that speeds up the X-ray process and lets our people spend more quality time with the sequestered items. And of course you could take M-Track. They're not hijacking the trains. Now here's Bill, with half of the backpages of the life section. I'm Bill McAtey, today in front of a homeless shelter somewhere in the USA. Sometimes I use the shelter, sure, I'm not crazy. But you know, sometimes he's back in Paris and the heating grate in the street looks pretty good.

President Reagan recently told David Brinkley, No, some unfortunately of the homeless still prefer to sleep on heating grates. When pulled over this city and others, there are shelters for them to use. But some experts on homelessness say, We want to find out what the homeless think. So in today's USA Today Radio Poll, if you're homeless and would rather sleep on a heating grate, call 1-900-USA today. If you'd rather sleep in a shelter, call 1-900-USA to Dar. The call will cost you 50 cents. But USA Today will donate our share of the proceeds to a homeless shelter or a heating grate. I'm Robin Young. Tomorrow, in our money section, how much money is there in the world? The whole world! That's tomorrow on USA Today Radio Show.

We move faster than the news. It's 1989, a brand new year for most of us, and we hope a good one for all of you. From everyone at SAS, satellite services, our best wishes. Happy Christian New Year. Ruth Hirschfeld, General Manager. Have a happy. Harry Scherer, on air talent. Bruce Farrow, and Young Nuevo. David Alfonso, shipping. Have a fine 89. Damian Gerberding, data processing. Happy New Year. Ralph Porter, satellite operations. Have a very happy New Year. Theresa McGray, accounts receivable. Best wishes. Dr. Peter Welton, government liaison. Go for it. Jonathan Purdy, personnel. Talded on your wealth. Lars Eric Quay, listener relations. From all of us in the SAS family. Happy New Year.

Everybody. Now, here's the show. Jeff From the Holmes Tuttle Collection. Western America's leading active archive of historic storytelines comes tales of action adventure, and romance in our nation's executive venture, Hellcans of the White House. Our story opens on Board Air Force 1, on route back to Washington from Los Angeles. Just before having surgery on the ring finger of his left hand, the president is returning having spent the holidays in Palm Springs, and Beverly Hills.

He's sitting in his accustomed seat, watching a briefing video on the small screen in front of him. Nearby, Nancy says, adding new blusher tattooed into her cheeks. The United States position is that the dog fight between the planes is not, repeat not related to the issue of the chemical plan. Not further background. If they're going to tell me to read something, I'm going to bust in this way. At 3.08 slash B, what we know about Libya, or at 4.516 slash L, our chocolate is made. Hold it a minute, Manuel. Yes, Mrs. Ronnie, do you have to work all the time? No, Mommy. Well, do you have to work any of the time? I've got so much to talk to you about. Oh, boy. I guess the country can run itself for a few minutes more. What's up? Well, I just think we have to start learning to, well, I don't know. Talk to each other again.

In two weeks, we'll, we'll never again be in a situation where we're, without our friends. We can open up again. We can blossom. Well, if it's all the same to you, Mommy, I'll do my blossoming in bed for the first couple of months. I'm pretty tuckered out right about now. First New Year's Eve in Palm Springs. Wasn't it wonderful? Hey. I think the Ann and Bergs had mellowed since he sold TV Guide. Well, we didn't have to listen to him rattle on about how hard it is to get good staples if that's what you mean. And then they... Sure, I didn't want to... Merlin. Yes, sir. I didn't want to wake you, but... Oh, that's all right, Marlin. And wasn't asleep. Oh. Well, that's what I meant, sir. Why would I want to wake you if you weren't asleep? Well... It'd be easier. Haha, I suppose.

Anyway, Mr. President, on this Libya thing. Now, if it's something to read, put it on the pile for... No, no, sir. The Pentagon has just released some video of the dogfight. I thought you might want to see it. Oh, well, sure. You have to stay on top of things. Here you go, sir. Hello, Mrs. Reagan. You're drawing the flight? Yes. Thank you, Merlin. Very smooth. Oh, you bet. You'll be able to have that done to yourself on a commercial flight. Well, that's something to miss. Oh, brother. Unbelievable. Pretty tough action, is there? Oh, I don't know. I can't make anything else. Oh, shut this tape, Andy Vitterady. Oh, you remember Andy, mommy? The director they brought in. Second season on General Electric Theater. Yes, dear.

It was just straight ahead TV, mind you, Merlin. Just kind of... Oh, shut John Deunder. This fella was going to be a film director. So all of a sudden, there's a letter. Funny English and goofy lighting. Well, I'm doing an appearance at a light bulb factory. Well, anyone says to me after the speech, besides where's Kimoye and Matsu is? What the hell's wrong with the show? It looks like when my wife takes the whole movie's. Next thing you know, a little man called me. G.E. comes up to town. But as soon Andy Vitterady is back stage managing the Donna Reed show. He wasn't the one who gave her a late cue and got her dress caught in the door, was he? Same fella. Isn't that something? Well, sir, I'll just... Anyway, Merlin, how come... How come we're putting a tape that looks like this? This is all the Pentagon had, sir. The last 20 seconds of it shows the weapons on the Libyan plane.

Absolutely. Merlin, all they state proves is that someone in the Pentagon needs cataract surgery. For God's sake, what kind of ways this to end my presidency? The last thing I want to be remembered for is putting out bad-looking video. Yes, sir, but... Now, I know I'm a loose duck in orbit. What would you see if we can get some better-looking footage out there? Yes, sir. Something in focus, Morgan. You got it, sir. I'll get right on it. And you can wake me when you've got it. You bet, sir. They never learn, do they? Oh, he's okay. Good thing is he's going to work for George, so... There's one book we know is not coming out soon. Wasn't it a lovely welcome home party last night, Ronnie? Yep. It sure was. Back with all of our friends.

And doesn't Merv Griffin have the Beverly Hilton looking beautiful again? Yep. Louis, I kind of thought that was more judges in fruits. I know. Sometimes it's hard to tell where. One of them stops and the other went... Mommy. Let me ask you something. Sure, Ronnie. Do you think Sinatra canceled out of her party because she... Really had a cold, or...? I don't know. Maybe he's still angry about the Teamster indictment. Ronnie! Ronnie, you're still thinking Washington thinking. We've got to start getting back to real world thinking. Hmm. I suppose you're right. He probably did have a cold. Either that or Barbara just didn't have anything to wear. Anyway, Merv's saying so beautifully. I... I hardly missed Frank. Don't tell Frank.

Sure. I just wonder why all the... The movie company people we invited didn't come. You know, where was Lou? Where was... Darling. There's no need to hurry. We'll invite them up to the house in a couple of weeks. They'll come. You'll get a part. And the next thing you know... I'd like to thank Leah Academy. That's right. Come here, mommy. Let me give you a... Your cheeks, huh? Mm-hmm. What are you thinking? Oh. Nothing. Come on. I know you better than that. Oh. I just thought. Yes? Hmm. I should give Barbara Sinatra... Adolfo's new phone number. Should you? Shouldn't I? In the land of the blind, the one I'd man is king.

What does that say about the place where the blind man wears the crown? Next time, rehearsing for auditions. On Hell, Carrots of the White House. A little bit of territory somewhere between a current affair in 2020. Something like that. That's what we want to find. We want to find a show that's popular journalism. The more popular, the better. But unafraid of emotion. Concentrating on people more than issues, I mean the show is closer to people magazine than it is today, to Atlantic Monthly, you know. But investigative and hard-hitting as well as unafraid of emotion. And that's why, well, you can see some of the deaths there behind me. We've got a staff of 50. So that we've got the people that we can put on to an expersay.

Producers have really signed up a terrific staff. And then you probably can't see their ages on that shot there. But anyway, the average age, I think, is about 28. They're young and rare and to go. And it's a terrific atmosphere here, actually. We're really looking forward to the old premiere. We have great belief in our show. And we have about 50 to 60 true professionals here. Young, aggressive. They've got fresh legs and believe me they're all winners. And I think that'll be shown now. It's probably my favorite time of the year right about now, aside from Oscar Time or Oscar Meier Time. Just this period of the year is just when I begin to glow because it's the height, the very pinnacle of basketball season. The pros, of course, are deep into what soon will become their doldrums. And the college teams have just begun to, I guess, play their conference schedules.

It's for a basketball fan like myself, it's very exciting. And it is equally exciting today to welcome to the program a not-infrequent guest on these broadcasts at these microphones. He's currently, I think, in the studios of ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut. He's the basketball analyst for ESPN and for ABC Sports. And we're delighted to have him with us today. Mr. Dick Vitale on our direct line. Dick, welcome to you, sir. Harry, thanks very much. Welcome to you and welcome to me right back again. Oh, you got to love it this time of year, whether you're at the pit and you're ginormous again or you're at the carrier dome. Under all that snow and let's hope that dome doesn't crack or anything. Under all that snow up in Syracuse, New York, because this is the time of year. The people like us we dream about and we talk about and we think about and oh, man, you got to love it right about now. It's the enthusiasm, Dick, that you bring to what you do that I think is so very, very infectious.

Let's talk a little bit about college ball and about the teams that you see. I don't think there's any really clear cut favorites for the national championship this year. Harry, or do you? Well, I don't know if I do it. I can't say if I do it not because I'm exclusive this time of year. My thoughts about basketball are limited to ESPN and ABC sports. I thought we got away. I really can't share any of them with you now. But we can talk about anything else you want to talk about. Just not basketball right about now. All right. I see I thought we got a waiver because we're public radio and as far as I know, Dick. Yeah. We should know about this little wrinkled before. I'm sorry. I just, how about this dog fight this week between the Libyan jets and the Americans? What do you think about that?

You got to love it, Harry, because this is the United States being a super power again and then wimping out, not just settling for a couple of pops from the outside. This is the United States going in and mixing it up downward counts. You know, to be a super power these days, you got to have an aircraft carrier. We call it an aircraft carrier, Harry. Yeah. Dick, what do you mean by that? Just a big guy down low to get the ball and put it in the basket? No, I mean an aircraft carrier being shipped at planes could take off from and land on. We got to have an aircraft carrier. Well, what's been going on here? PTP prime time play. You know, when you're up in the air and you're making those invasive moves and you're making those invasive moves. I tell you, you just got to love this air force. They got all the tools. They brought the whole tool chest with them, Harry. And they will not be denied.

You got to love that. Yeah. Dick, by the same token, what's your reading of Gaddafi? He had this kind of weird impromptu press conference. Oh, yeah. Took the press on a tour of the chemical plant that supposedly is building chemical weapons. And then he kicked all the foreign press out of his country. How do you read that situation? Harry, he's a guy who grinds it out. This is his game. He'll just grind it out. And it drives to wear you down. It's not pretty. It's not a picture. Perfect. It's not textbook. He's not running a clinic down there. It weighs running a clinic down there. But you got to say, here's a fellow comes to play every day. Yeah. He brings the lunchpale and he puts on the blue collar and he goes. He rolls up his sleeves and he goes to work. And you can see the results, Harry. He's got all the moves. He's got the inside moves down by Africa. He's got the outside terrorism moves. Of course, he's sitting over there right now and triply and he's saying to me a dick vital. What do you know about the foreign affairs and international relations?

I go sit down and have a play to Rigatoni and let us worry about it. Harry, I'm planning to do that. Sure. But let me just tie up a couple of loose ends here, Dick. Yeah. First of all, he doesn't wear a blue collar. You weren't meaning to imply that. No, Harry. And I'm sure it gets his lunches served by servants and not at a lunchpale. But by the same token, I don't need Rigatoni. I do see ironically enough. And the other thing is he opened, I think, a health facility down there a couple of months ago. In that sense, he's running a clinic down there. Let's not fool ourselves. It's a very dangerous customer. We call them a VDC. Very dangerous customer. VDC. This guy's a lock. Absolute lock. Lock, L-O-K, throw away the key. Lock for first round. First round, what, Dick? First round, anything, Harry. I look at the Genie Creek Patrick over there. She's saying, hey, Dick Vitale, you stay out of foreign affairs. And I won't try to pick the winner of the big eight this year.

Yeah, well, I won't either, Dick. Dick Vitale, I can't thank you enough. I'm sorry, the whole paperwork waiver deal didn't clear in time for today. Well, I thank you for spending part of your day with us. Try that Rigatoni. It's good. Mom of Vitale, she makes the shelves, Harry. Okay, good enough. Thank you, Dick. Notes for presidential memoirs. So now it's gloves off with the Congress. Frankly, it bothers me just a little bit. And maybe kinder and gentler was a crock of do-do, but this bipartisan ship thing just has to work until we can get ourselves a few more votes in Congress. It seems to me. But Sinun who wanted me to give him just a small kick in the Cachanga

is just to let him know someone was still breathing at this end of Pennsylvania Avenue. People think being the president means running the show. Actually, you spend far more of your time negotiating between the people who think they're running the show. And it should probably go somewhere in here at the beginning of the memoirs, not right here. Well, I know that one of the knocks on us has been that we're a little rigid on the scheduling thing. People who say that should have been in here with me on Friday. I was having my weekly lunch with Lee Atwater. I wouldn't have met with him earlier, but he's recording a blues album out in LA and he'd already reserved the studio time. So our election post-mortem started out pretty much as you'd expect after considering we'd lost every race.

I just don't think that right now is either the time or the occasion for finger pointing, sir. We just lick our wounds and go ahead on. Does that sound like it's in tune to you? Sounds okay. Yeah. Look, Lee, yeah. Nobody was pointing any fingers, you know, at least of all their own. But I just think we've got to face a couple of facts here. Our guys lost. Yes, sir. This abortion thing is a time bomb. You know, if we don't get our feet out of concrete on this thing, they're going to put clothes hangers around the neck of every Republican candidate next year, don't you think? I tell you what I do think, sir. I'd hate to think that my president is scared of Eleanor Smith. Well, he was Eleanor Smith. Oh, you know the bribe earner from NLW. Oh, yeah.

Oh, hey, did I tell you who I got plain and born under a bad sign? No, but think big. Her balper? No, real big. I don't know her. Brand Wilson. I don't know, Lee. Look, we got your thief, cropper. Really? From the original Blues Brothers Band. Oh, man, he tells a wildest, who she stores he ever did want to hear. I mean, maybe if we just kind of softened the rhetoric on abortion just a little bit, you know. We just give some of our guys out there a fighting chain. Well, sir, if you're going to go do kessie face with the Russians, I think you're going to have to give your conservative base and just a little rhetoric at least, don't you? Well, I don't know. Just like... Like... Like what, sir? I didn't know it. Maybe instead of talking about the murder of unborn children, we could...

We could say we hear the murmur of unborn children. Mr. Prad, man. Those weren't coat hangers around the necks of our candidates, sir. Those were waffle prints. Now... Mr. President, I cleared this with Seduna. I just have to talk to you before. Go, hello, Lee. Jim. I always pleasure to see the Secretary of State. Oh, I heard Steve Crawper's got a scheduling conflict. Hey, what's up? Excuse me, sir. What do you mean? Oh, I heard he was going on the road with the judge. Mr. President, uh... Skolcroft and I have been wargaming this Berlin business, and he probably, he'd say, peace-gaming it now. Probably so, but... I don't have time to learn a new cliche at the moment, sir. Both your national security adviser and I think that the statement you're planning to release on the wall coming down is just too... Just a little bit too... Out there. Sure, excuse me. Could I...

Could I use your phone? Lee, you know better than that. It can wait. Bake, look. Reagan said it. I said it. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall. Now he's done him. What's out there about proclaiming this a victory for America? And Republican. Lee, could you turn that down for a minute? Oh, sure. Sorry. I'm just trying to figure out if I know any way to get to Shriggy Otis. Mr. President, uh... Very fact that Gorbachev has made a huge concessionist. It's the exact reason why we shouldn't be rubbing his nose in it right now. We should be... We should be very solicitous of his nose. Well, I don't know, but... Now, Lee, we were just talking about throwing a rhetorical bone to our conservative base. Yes, sir. Wouldn't it a ringing statement that we've won the Battle of Berlin? Wouldn't that be kind of... USDA Prime ground chucked for the Pat Buchanan to the world? Well, sir, I don't know about those, but... That's for the southern Baptist of the world. I don't think they want to hear the Cold War's over.

Whoever gets the credit. You know, that's part of their psychological landscape. You don't want to bulldoze that away. You want to concentrate your attention on baby killers. I'm just going to slip out for a second and make calls. No, no, no, no. Let's just finish hashing this thing out. You know, we're going to call a SNAP news conference before evening news deadlines. Bacon. Don't you think it's kind of doing the wimp thing to... The soft pedal our feelings about this. After all, the wall wouldn't have come down if Gorbachev didn't want it to. We're congratulating him. I don't think congratulations for us at this moment are... What'll make his right wing in the army and the KGB any happier with him, sir. I think as long as you use the word, the wimp thing to do is just climb board this cheap kind of Wii 1. You lost bandwagon, you know? I mean, it sure it'll get Jean Kirkpatrick all wet, but... I think our caution track is what you want to stay on, at least until we see what kind of snakes Mr. Gorbachev brings with him to the boat. Is that it?

Yes, sir, the summit, but... No, I know it's not a real summit, but I heard snakes in the boat, and I thought it was something biblical there for a second. Lee, what do you think? I think I'm going to get stuck with yin-wi-monstein or something. Mr. President, I think it ain't broke, so... So don't fix it. So don't waffle, you know? They always say bees smell fear, or dogs, or something smells fear. I heard buzzard smell fear. Anyway, go ahead. Well, voters smell fear too. They say it's waffle on abortion, it scares them. I'm okay. Meg Jim and Brent Happy don't go bragging on Berlin, but for God's sake, don't kill off the fetishes that have been laying the golden eggs on us. All right, but... They... What do I say if one of the reporters asked me, why I don't seem happier about the wall coming down? Oh, I don't know, sir. How about telling me you're just not a very emotional type of guy? You think they'll actually buy that? After the puppy and the grandkids and everything?

I think if you sell it, they'll buy it. Okay, and I'll go with it. Is that it, sir, because I really have to call my curb, and see if we can reschedule recording sessions around the judge. Yeah, I guess that's it. Well, I sure hope Lee's right about the abortion thing. I just wish we could find a neat way for our people to say. Yes, we meant what we said, but we don't necessarily mean what you think we mean when we say we meant it. Or something. I guess when you're deep enough into the blues, nothing worries you too much. Or enough. I don't know. More later. Thank you. Congratulate all of the youths and the community.

From the island of Malda, just on shore from the side of the world's first US-Russian summit meeting on water and location of the Eastern Hemisphere's very first SeaWorld. It's Super Night at the summit.

It's an all-star salute to the only summit conference of the year and all your favorites are here. So now live on tape from SeaWorld at Malda. Ladies and gentlemen, your host for Super Night at the summit. Dick Clark. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hey. Thank you and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Some nice of you to join us as we gather some of the greatest names in show business to celebrate the biggest moment in East-West relations since Joe Stalin grew his first mustache. Can I tell you who we've got with us tonight better than that? Let's start meeting them. First, a man whose voice has thrilled three generations of fans and is younger than I am. I don't know how he does it. Ladies and gentlemen, he flew all the way over from Las Vegas to be with us tonight. He's off to Monte Carlo right after the program, Mr. Robert Gould-Lage. Thank you.

Thank you. Three generations of Dick. I'm going to get you for that, you son of a... I'd love to get you on a slow boat off of Malta all to myself alone. I'd talk to you, Garby, about all sorts of things. Oh, we'd live like a couple of kings. There are kings, I'm pretty good right about now. Out on the briny with the crowds at your high knee. We could hear, we could hear that Russian background. Oh yes, I'd love to get you on a slow boat off of Malta. All to myself, all alone, no facts, no phone.

All to myself, all alone. That's nice. Thank you. Mr. Robert Gould-Lage. And the Muzzy Lustofano trio. Bobo is a delight to see you. Thanks, Dick. You know, I've never been to Malta before. Really? Mm-mm, up until this weekend. I always thought it was something you ordered at an ice cream store. You know, a chocolate Malta. But I think the summit has a solid. You know, it's the first ever meeting of the American and Russian leaders on water. Mm-hmm. Well, I know President Bush will be on water with all the problems President Gorbachev's having right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on vodka. Robert Gould-Lage, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, everybody. He's off right now to appear later tonight at Merv Griffin's fabulous new

Wheel of Fortune hotel in Monte Carlo. I had to mention that, or else Merv might try to buy me. But seriously, ladies and gentlemen, with the Russian leader and the American leader getting together here just off the coast, we thought we'd get a Russian comic and an American comic all rolled into one. Mr. Yakov Smirnov. Thank you, thank you, whoever you are. Now, what a sea world. Incredible tricks these whales and purposes, though, you know. They have something similar back home. In Russia, fish so scarce, you entertain them. No. No, so many changes going on in Soviet Union right now. Big perestroika.

Perestroika, that's Russian for. Where can I buy some soap? No, but to be fair, we have problems too. I say, we, I'm an American now. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, it's true. I got citizenship papers as Statue of Liberty birthday. But I didn't really begin to feel like American until after I did my 10th motel commercial. In Russia, motels sell you. Oh, what a country. But I'm very excited about summit conference on ship. Talk about biggest floating crap game. In Russia, they have big crap game. You play game, you win, they pay you money, and won't buy crap. Thank you. What an audience. Mr. Yakov Smirnov, ladies and gentlemen, funny man in any language.

You know, we've had fun with this seagoan summit tonight, but there's a serious side to all this. And I don't want to give us an insight into the deeper meaning of the events we're celebrating here at SeaWorld Malta. Let's imagine what that summit is going to be like. And here to help us are on the American side former president Gerald Ford. And for the Russians, please welcome Gorby the Killer Whale. Well, Gorby, here we are. Loan at last, just the two of us. Would you like some smoked fish? You know, President Gorbachev, I'm well aware of the historic moment we share. You know, the idea that Poland will no longer be under control of your country is especially exciting to me. Yes, there is a reason.

It means that if I'd had that debate this year, I could have been elected. You know, sir, you've been so effective at communicating through the international media. Do you have any tips for a not-so-great communicator? Uh-huh, travel widely. Uh-huh, smile all the time. Uh-huh, don't speak English. Well, gee, three great ideas. I wonder why they didn't work for me. Well, Gorby, I suppose we should start working on our joint statement. Tell the world what we've accomplished here. Peace? We're closer to peace? Oh, peace. Yes, Gorby, it looks like more than 40 years of Cold War is coming to an end.

There are forces larger than any of us that are hurtling us into a new century, amid changes we can only dimly begin to understand. We'll need all the goodwill and good communication in the world to maintain peace in this turbulent new era. Oh, we'll need something else, Gorby. What is it? Oh, yes, more smoked fish. Former president Ford and Gorby the Killer Whale, and the SeaWorld people have asked me to announce that Gorby has donated his fee to the San Francisco earthquake relief fund. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're almost to the end of our show. But before we go, we wanted to hear the word from the street on this historic meeting. Easy street, that is.

Here are two of the most successful performers in the history of black music, LL Cool J, and Mr. Barry White. So President B and President G. I were about to get together on that open sea. They're talking about the problems in the world today. Because every rapper just happened to keep their bombs away. But they ain't going to push or we ain't going to shove. Because they just saw me don't blow. Saw me don't blow. Yeah. Now I'm a homeboy from the USA. And we're the boss of the world in every way. But the sucker president from the other place.

He won't find me looking in your face. Oh no, we going to bill and cool like a pair of dogs. Because it's a summer dog, whoa. Summer dog, whoa. Give it that, give it that, give it that, summer dog, whoa. Somebody scream, summer dog, whoa. Looks like Orkey wanted to get in on the act for a minute there. Well ladies and gentlemen, that's our show. The ocean going summit is all over, but the talking. I want to thank everybody on the show and the wonderful people here at SeaWorldMalta for helping us celebrate this once in a television season event. Till the next time, this is Dick Clark saying, if America and Russia can talk to each other, why can't Oprah and Herald though?

Good night everybody. Super night at the summit was a Dick Clark production in association with CBS News. This is Charlie Tuno speaking.
