These are the proud heels hills of the state of virginia in the springtime of 1956. Springtime reckoning to a small boy, urging him to wonder with the wind, over the pasture fence to catch a calf. Not an easy thing because a calf is a youngster like himself. Ride him . Sure. Well what is a day without a , little rough and tumble . When a boy needs comfort, there is always home. And mother and father. This is the world of randy kerr of oakton, virginia. Typical, except for one thing. Randy was the first child to receive an injection of salk polio vaccine.

In the allout fight against polio led by the National Foundation for infantile paralysis, there were many years of struggle and heartbreak. Parents lived in fear of t

Morehead passed away in 1866 shortly after the surrender. By the time the surrender came along, he was not in the best of health so he was not a participant in the reconstruction of North Carolina during the confederate period. I see governor morehead as someone who is really struggling with the world in which he lived. He lived in a world that included slavery that included a situation where women were not allowed to own property, were not allowed to vote. The state was in a situation where people could grow wonderful crops. They could make wonderful things, but they didnt have a market. I think he was frustrated that the rings were true these ends were true. He began to establish a system that would change that. I think what he started, he was taking a first step, and i think he would be incredibly pleased to
Promoting it, so she was always on the lookout for a match for thomas, yes, and he donald in philadelphia for a while, and she was saying, are there single women in philadelphia . She did that also for the other children as well. Particularly, with thomas, and eventually he did come back and mary very well marry very well. You mentioned thomas and the letters, and i have been reading the letters now very closely and my impression of thomas has changed so much, the youngest son. First of all, there is a lot of that press with her relation with her sons generally. And how thomass life turned out, thomas was ill a lot of the time, and she identified with that. She said he had inherited the family disease, rheumatism, and he was apparently very ill a lot of the time. She sent him incredible formulae for medical treatments. How they live with medicines how anyone survived with the kind of therapies that they suggested, bleeding and purgatives, and on and on purgatives, and on and on. And th

Exercise that kind of intellectual leadership on technological questions that deal with future threat. I think its part san that the pentagon is much larger. It has ever service dealing with new dock frin. I dont think congress is that inclined to challenge fundamentally the kind of weapon 178 that Defense Department proposes. I think you know, congress clearly does say we dont like certain things. But its often at the margin. We dont want this, we do want that. Its too early to cut the a10. Im not sure we see too many cases. So theres certainly the possibility for events to dramatically change thinking. It might act through the Defense Department and through the military to step up to the plate. Im not a defense expert, but my experience in agencies across the government is congress is much more likely to cement adherence to the past and change things to the future.
