Get out of that plane, bailout. That movie and the acclaim for it led to wyler wanting to make a different movie about another kind of bomber called thunderbolt. Filming ofng the extra footage for thunderbolt, a little more footage he wanted to get of the italian coastline, that he experienced this personal tragedy. Plane and hadthe gone deaf in the air. Wyler was shooting in unpressurized cabins. It was freezing cold up in the air. The noise from the engines was eardrum shattering. He finally ultimately lost his hearing. With that, literally overnight, his army service was over in this unexpected way. The completion of thunderbolt became terribly important to him, even though by the time he was recovered enough to finish the movie the war was over and there was no use for this kind of propaganda film anymore about u.

Concentric rings that are almost like ripples in a pond as though you have dropped a stone into the pond and the ripples emanate outward. That is the same thing here starting with our statue of Thomas Jefferson and extending through the 19th century. The first ring is 1800. The last one is 1900. Our Current Museum is not going to be here much longer, and then in the next few years, it will be replaced. Right now, our story gives a pretty good overview of westward expansion. What we want to do is focus on st. Louiss role, specifically.

[inaudible conversations] [laughter] i am not getting these interviews. I am saying, give him credit for at least doing this. What he is not doing in the bread and butter of what the correspondence do is where you take a day in and the. [roll call] are two questions, how about this, that is where you hear the president day and day out about the m
