Le Show; 1996-11-24

The Thanksgiving holiday is special, and we celebrate with a day of terrific radio drama. Enjoyed Mr. Ricky calls a meeting with Edward Asner, killing orders and deadlock by Sarah Peretsky with Kathleen Turner as V.I. Warschowski, and it's a wonderful life with Jimmy Stewart. Great radio drama, all day, 9-5-7-8 Thanksgiving Day on KCRW. Chris, what would we have to be thankful for today at 5 here on KCRW? Today at 5 weekend, all things considered. Man, that makes me grateful. They may even reconsider some things that you'll consider this morning. Interesting. We'll do much consideration. Thank you, Chris. That's it. The show is next, ladies and gentlemen, at 10AM Pacific Standard Time, stay tuned, won't you? Yes. All right, ladies and gentlemen, on top of the news, because it's radio, you know, we

have to be on to it. What else do we do? There's not going to be historical perspective at this spot on your dial, you know, or any spot on your dial. Let's face it. So we have to be on top of the news, the hijackers, I believe they were Ethiopian, that hijacked that airplane that crashed, not the value jet plane, I'm talking about a real airliner. Some people have survived. The Ethiopian hijackers had made only one demand, at least as far as it's known up to the moment. They wanted to be flown to Australia. Now you see, this is the information age, ladies and gentlemen, this program is on the air around the world, we've just started, I think, this week on cable in Japan. So can each of you why, everybody? And still, information doesn't travel fast enough. I said on this program a couple of weeks ago, I was supposed to go to Australia, if the Ethiopians

had called me, I would have given them my tickets, you know, things can be worked out between. So why would, why would people be so eager to go to Australia, that they would hijack an airliner and danger the lives of the passengers on board? Well, consider this from Canberra, the capital of Australia, where President Clinton addressed the Australian parliament this week. When the matter of correct form of acclimation was raised in the parliament, the correct form of acclimation for the presidential speech, the speaker of the Australian House, Bob Halverson suggested that members of parliament do what they felt. However, the prime minister, John Howard, interjected, quote, it is unparliamentary to clap. So the speaker then retreated, said members and senators should only signify their approval by saying enthusiastically here, here.

There should be no clapping, no desk beating. In the event the chamber had been alerted to the arrival of the speaker and the president, the president of the Senate walked in first, the opposition began clapping, then it spread to the government side, while some dutifully rejoined with here, here. In the speaker of the House, called on the prime minister to speak, before Clinton entered the room, the prime minister whispered to him, we've got to wait till he comes in. When Clinton did arrive a few minutes later, the place erupted, the only people on the government side of the parliament that did not clap were the prime minister and the speaker of the House. When the president finished and everyone stood in sustained applause, the prime minister of Australia glanced, this is from the Sydney Morning Herald.

The prime minister of Australia glanced surreptitiously around the chamber, then he began softly at first, then with more enthusiasm to clap. Ultimately, he even beat on his desk. You see, people can work these things out on Australia. That's why you hijack a plane to go there, more historical perspective moments away because hello, welcome to the show. I got a little running, just got to go, driving this bomb as I soon will go, trying to drive, I have to get round to the south, when he did the run so the prime minister

Damn I ain'tnin' 1000 Yeah

Simpson I don't want to mention the name of the And I'm being metaphorical here when i say big fat pig Who wouldn't share the seat with me that particular day But all i can tell you is how he sounded Well i can do more than that That is absolutely not true That was basically about it for the day He sighed He denied And uh and oh oh one other thing he created well He at least uh Used a word that was new to many of us The word was Incessibly As in Mr. Simpson Did you pursue your wife after you broke You broke up and divorced No she pursued me really yeah Incessibly Said it a bunch However

When the uh story With that quote appeared in the Los Angeles Times yesterday The word was changed to Incessantly Although everyone who heard The audio feed knew that in fact the word he used was Incessibly So Now big picture for a minute ladies and gentlemen I speak as a graduate of UCLA This basically This isn't a trial about good or evil About race, about money, about celebrity This is about the Bruins versus the Trojans Lansito is a Bruin, Marsha Clark was a Bruin A lot of people involved in this trial of Bruins Oh Jay Simpson Is always was, always will be A Trojan Simple as that When a man uses the word Incessibly All that says to me is This guy Graduated From USC We met at a party

You were stealing the food You said that you knew me Could we meet all wood that seemed too rude You guessed at my star sign You guessed at my moon You swore we'd talk in the morning And I swore In a blue moon And it's tough And it's tough If you want to be smart You got to know And I feel in love If you want to be smart Keep your big mouth Shout You told me your story

You told me the facts No matter how gory No matter how black The tears and the laughter Somehow they sounded the same About two to two hours after You remember to ask me my name And it's tough I know all that is wrong If you want to be smart You got to know And I feel in love If you want to be smart Keep your big mouth Shout Give me some substance

That is absolutely not true.

You're not the judge. No, you're not the judge. Sorry. Not even the doctor. Ladies and gentlemen, time for me to be the trades for you. Not telling what you, you're going to do. Listen, go get a snack, whatever. Just telling you what I'm going to do. You can make, you can plan accordingly. Go up to Riviera and shoot a few holes while I care. From strategies and news. I don't know what, is that the name of the magazine? Looks like it, that's what it says at the bottom of each and every page. Send in by a listener. From the point of purchase and in-store marketing section. Posters promote prison blues. I'll read it for you. Oregon State and prison inmates had been stitching blue jeans for years

to provide clothing for themselves and the rest of the prison population. It's a common practice in directional facilities. It makes often produce the furniture, clothing and other items they use on site. But these blue jeans were destined to make a break for the outside. With some creative thinking by a state employee, the jeans were introduced to the outside world as prison blues. Says Roger Bentley, senior vice president for the ad agency, worked on the campaign, while with another agency. Quote, we saw prison blues as having a real sense of the bad boy aesthetic that a lot of jeans create. The big differences that while other brands had to conjure up the image,

prison blues origins already set it apart. Quote, an attitude really existed with prison blues. So we saw that as a great fashion opportunity. By the way, just parenthetically, remember Bob Dole's 96-hour marathon right before the election? Because he wasn't really going to sleep or anything, his stops at hotels on his schedule were listed as hotel opportunities. I knew that and I had to share it. I'm not going to bother my wife with it. Making their debut into Nordstrom and eventually JC Penny Stores, the jeans were accompanied by a series of posters, which earned a gold-world medal in an international poster competition. The posters linked the product with the toughness of its creators through starkly realistic photography of inmates wearing the jeans in prison settings.

Says Bentley. Quote, the greatest sense of feedback we got was that in some areas, prison blues are seen as so underground their hip. The posters speak to that hipness. Yeah, it gets better. The big line the very first year was Where Them Out. Says Bentley. We had a number of pants that were knotted together and they were displayed that way. By throwing the knotted jeans over a chain link point of purchase display, retailers could create the look of a planned escape. Oh, do we have time for 7-Eleven cutting back on magazines? No, next week.

Boy, what a tease. Next week, when once again, I will read the trades for you, copyrighted feature, reproduction, encouraged. Always, of course. Knowledge in gentlemen, some more serious matters. Two stories this week on two different governments dosing two different populations against their will without their knowledge with radiation, if you please. Britain sponsored a 40-year program of secret radiation experiments on humans, according to a report by the campaign for nuclear disarmament based on copies of more than 50 documents from the Ministry of Defense. Research involved volunteers being injected with inhaling or eating a range of radioactive substances. Information remained top secret in Britain. The Ministry of Defense documents were retrieved over here. 200 volunteers were exposed to 10 radioactive substances.

One was technetium, a highly radioactive element, which was injected into volunteers. I bet those shots hurt. Other experiments involved inhaling isotopes of strontium, regarded as some of the most dangerous bribe product to the nuclear industry, because they caused immense damage to bones. The injection of strontium 85 into a human over 30 years, between 57 and 87, a group which repeatedly inhaled palladium 103, a mock plutonium, a group of 19 people who inhaled neobium 92, known as mock plutonium. I wouldn't mock plutonium. I think that's serious. The inhalation of neobium 92 by eight men from 88 to 90, this experiment is significant, because it shows the tests were still happening six years ago. The Ministry of Defense confirmed the experiments had been carried out, but insisted they'd been ethical. Well, when you want an opinion on medical ethics, ladies and gentlemen, my recommendation is always go to the British Ministry of Defense, because they, a spokesman said,

quote, these experiments started in the 1950s and continued until the 1980s. The amount of radioactive substances administered was negligible, said the Ministry, though how would they show up on tests if they were negligible? You might ask. You might well. Former volunteers claimed the Ministry of Defense had told them the research was to find a cure for the common cold. We'll nuke it. We'll nuke that cold. Meanwhile, as they say in journalism, the little I know about journalism. Aside from, no, you won't get in. I know that. Mary Jean Connell will receive $400,000, $8,000 for each year she survived after being ejected with radioactive uranium in medical experiments in this country that were kept hidden from her. A dozen families around the nation will share 4.8 million settlement announced this week by Energy Secretary Hazel. I'm going off on an expensive trip, O'Leary. The payments are an attempt to atone for some of the worst abuses among hundreds of largely secret human experiments involving radiation. Conducted by US scientists and physicians.

Negotiations creeping along in the cases of four other patients who were injected unwittingly with plutonium, not mock plutonium now. They got the real stuff. In medical experiments that were approved and concealed by US government officials. Three other lawsuits have been filed on behalf of hundreds of others who became subjects and tests that involve prisoners, terminally ill patients, and even, hey, Thanksgiving's coming up, children. It's everything the Nazis were accused of doing, except these were American doctors working 10 years after the Nazis were defeated, says a lawyer who filed a class action suit on behalf of relatives. Of tests, subjects. Only one of the subjects involved in yesterday's settlement is alive. And that's not the fall of the government. Now ladies and gentlemen, I mentioned Bob Dull, didn't I? Yes, I did. At least I've been listening. Bob Dull, who went straight from losing the presidential election

to appearing on the David Letterman program, followed a week later by an appearance on Saturday Night Live. So he's now appeared on every, well, I guess what else is in New York? Regis and Rosie would be the only ones left. And they're daytime. Bob Dull, you know, the dignity of the presidency, even a candidate for the presidency, demands you restrict your television appearances to nighttime. I'm guessing now. I'm just, you know, projecting into the mind of the man. Now, following up on that, he appears in today's very right here. I'm hitting it with my hand so you can hear it. It's an audio effect in today's edition of the local dog trainer. You may remember that the day after he lost the election, Dull said it was the first time in his adult life he could remember he had nothing to do.

So here he is, pictured in a, in a wave of his, now, wait a minute. I'm looking at this picture. Oh, yeah. Okay, that's right. This is good hand is waving. I thought they flipped the picture for a minute. And the caption, the headline is not doing anything? We can do Paris. $449 round trip, Air France. That's right. Bob Dull is doing an Air France ad. Well, well, I mean, the possibilities aren't endless. He can't, he can't do all state. But on the other hand, and a spokesman did say, spokesman Ford Dull did say that, you know, he'd gotten a lot of offers and they were being carefully reviewed to preserve and protect the dignity of his position. But, you know, I think this would qualify.

I am Bob Dull. Hi, I'm Bob Dull. You know, during a presidential campaign, you see some things wish I hadn't said. Sometimes you wish you'd done things, you hadn't done. My new friend Spike Lee, and I keep people, ask me if there's anything I wish I'd done. Bob Dull said yes. Wishing instead of going to that second debate, I'd gone over to Chicago and dunked over Michael Jordan. So, wow. Sorry, Mike. Like I said, during the campaign, just do it. Now, when forever lovers, lovers, do you believe that we love is not it now?

Could we be having the time of our lives now? Do you believe this? Do you believe this? Now, every day is like a sum of occasion. Christmas and the gold in one day. Now, every night is a special occasion. Where does it all end, maybe next Sunday, if you believe this love is forever? Can you conceive of anything better? Do you believe this? Do you believe this is love? I would love is for lovers. Love is for lovers. I would love is for lovers. Do you believe that love is a sure thing? You say hello and I hate to see you think, do you believe this?

Do you believe this is love? I would love is for lovers. I would love is for lovers. I would love is for lovers. I need to think that love is a pleasure. More like a man's imagination for measure, it's plain to me that we can't pass a load. We know what to love for judge, cause they love it. And if you're happy then you wanna stay there. I'm not sad for better. I'm not the waiting there. Do you believe this? Do you believe this? Do you believe this is love? Love is for lovers, I love is for lovers.

Love is for lovers, I love is for lovers. That is absolutely not true. Alright, we'll see. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a great, great week for some of us because not only did O.J. Simpson take the stand, but there were new Nixon tapes that just became public. How, you know, what do you need? Lakers winning the championship? Come on. Quote, we're up against an enemy, a conspiracy that are using any means. Nixon says on July 1, 1971, at an Oval Office meeting with Chief of Staff, HR Holderman, and Henry Kissinger. The President says in a steely tone, hitting the desk seven times once for each word. We are going, we are going to use any means. This is because the night before, according to another tape released this week,

President ordered a book, burglary, at the Brookings Institution, a liberal think tank, as a part of a counterattack against critics of the Vietnam War. He says in the tape on July 1, is that clear? Did they get the Brookings Institute rated last night? Get it done! I want it done! I want the Brookings safe! It's cleared out! Kissinger, the only participant at the July 1 session, still alive says he doubted. He was in the room June 30th when the burglary first came up, but his presence was affirmed not only by logs, but by remarks Kissinger made later on, urging dismissal of a suspected leaker. He was there if the log say he was there, said at Kissinger Assistant, but he has no memory of this discussion at all. These meetings covered much broader issues. Like Jill St. John. Nixon's White House was concerned Brookings was planning a classified study on the war similar to the Pentagon Papers. In fact, no such study at Brookings was underway, and no burglary ever occurred. But on June 30th, Nixon told Haldeman to rifle the files at Brookings,

bring them out, even set the time of night, go in at eight or nine o'clock. When his orders were not followed, and obviously unhappy Nixon said the next morning that he needed a tough lawyer. President said it was tired of those always asking, is it technically correct? Quote, I mean, I can't have a high-minded lawyer, like John Erlich-Minder, you know, John Dean or somebody like that, and Nixon said, I want somebody that's just as tough as I am for a change. Just as tough as I was, I would say in the his case, where we won the case in the press. I played the press like a master, said Nixon. He'd handle, he said, the Pentagon Papers controversy the same way. Quote, we're going to leak bits and pieces, all evidence we find with regard to the conspiracy against us is going to be leaked to columnists and the rest, and we'll kill these SOBs, unquote. Well, that's, that's the news. But of course those tapes are, what, 25 years old. No match for the really newly discovered,

surreptitiously made tapes of Nixon in heaven to be revealed moments from now, on Lesho. Okay.

Hoover, in here yet. How's it? Uh-huh. And, uh, geessengers still not dead. No, no, no, no, no, no. We could've, no, no, no, no, no, no. All of a doubt left a finger. We could kind of like that, Henry, trusting slowly in the way of some day morning talk shows, you know. Being invited less often, giving shorter segments. I'm getting in the gossip column before long the only newspaper. He can get any attention from will be the butane brith messenger No, that's fine. That's fine better than it's just you and me and the angels. Oh, right, right Your fellows are so quiet over there. Sometimes begin to forget your hair

That's okay, sir. Oh, it's kind of new angels were on the ball. Yeah, pleasant surprises. They're so polite It's like you sir. So as I understand from the message how to thank Peter's office We're talking about some kind of operation here relative to the release of the latest tapes. Yeah, that's right. That's correct We have any part of the 64 love feet Well, the similars on Jason Clouds are on I could check No, no, no better to have a clear head for this Sure Next time you talk to him tell the wine guy at 64 of the feet needs a little D agent, you know, it's getting kind of uh, well, I don't know Musty no, no, not muster. No, no, that's what you'd expect. Yeah Now a little

For one of a better word gravy. Mm-hmm. No, this is why I always said we should get tough attorneys to represent the estate So these cut-and-deal boys, you know these tapes on and they're dribbling out again. Just one right after another Like it's news or something. Well, well, we anticipated that, sir I'm really juicy ones don't come out until After the people who know what they're about or long off TV. I mean, you know, frankly is a wreck Dan Shore is babbling on the radio No, but Rather still there say, yeah, rather remembers. Mm-hmm. He's got a mead straight subtle scores, you know Always like that about the man There's too soon darn it too soon. I thought we were Having the national archives blown up. No, that's what that's that's a logistical problem I don't know if we can get our our arms around it logistical. Mm-hmm. Yeah Just uh Not a lot of good explosives men in heaven Hmm

Well Or I mean we got it Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know, but in all honesty a lot of credit for that goes to Hoover. Well, you know, I mean He doesn't have files on the sexual proclivities of some of the apostles We're cooling our heels in the big P for a nice few thousand years. Yeah Bargitara. Yep Mm-hmm Well, oh, I mean it says it's not that bad Yeah, oh look important to tamp this down right now We don't like now more tapes get released more negative press before you know Everything I work for for the last 20 years of my life becomes just so much self-serving image rescue and our entire structure piece Just goes right down the toilet Yeah, yeah, that's the move on this. Yeah, you're right. No, but yeah, beautiful. It's going away for Thanksgiving Where's to go? Yeah, okay, forgetting Okay

Can we erase the memories of everyone who's heard about these new tapes? See that's what he has talked Memory is a weapon of our enemies. Well, yeah, just can't do can't do it I can't do it. I told you I looked into this the last time it came up what I do died. Yeah, can't do it We can only mess with the future and not the past Maybe the problem received Maybe there's not tough enough like to say fired you on like don't I don't think it's a rule. It's more like A physical law Yeah, just forgot it too much trouble anyway Here's what you do No reason we can't set fire to only and get to Washington post is there We can do that.

Yeah Ladies and gentlemen, here's a hoody root for Chinese officials have told Walt Disney Company they are unhappy with the company's involvement in a new film about Tibet.

It may hurt the Disney Company's plans to expand into China. So as I said, Disney say Chinese government officials have expressed concerns about the film Kundun, Martin Scorsese movie, but denied reports China has gone so far as to threaten to quash Disney's expansion plans in China. Imagine the Disney version of Tiananmen, the happiest protest on earth. Observers said the movie could have a far-reaching impact on Disney's efforts to develop business in China, considered by Hollywood to be the greatest untapped market in the world. Pick your side, I don't know. I'm just waiting, you know, the next step for Bob Dole really from a classy standpoint might be just to follow Michael Jordan and do the, do the cologne.

Dole, the smell of one hand clapping, what do you think? That is absolutely not true. All you can do is try, you just throw them up in the air, ladies and gentlemen. Two more days of testimony by OJ Simpson are promised to the world. And then it's Thanksgiving, was this planned or what? And for me that means, I guess mud wrestling in the recently reigned on grass outside

the courthouse for a chance to actually see a part of the testimony. But I won't be reporting to you on that next week because at least in this venue, because I'll be down under, that is to say in Australia, but you can read my, whatever it is from the OJ Simpson trial online at www.slate.com, slate the online magazine of Microsoft, you know, had to get somebody to get me to write about it. But that concludes this edition of Lucho, the programmer turns next week at the same time over these same stations around the world through arm forces radio on your computer wherever you want it at a new simpler address, www.HarryShirror.com, no punctuation between the Harry and the Shirror, please. And so until then, it would be, well, it would be just like, hip jeans made by prisoners if you'd agree to join me then, would you?
