Mr. Bono, last week a car that I was restoring--just spent about $3 to $4,000 on it last year--a 31-year-old classic 1964 fire mist red El Dorado automobile, was towed by a tow truck out of my son's carport on Church Lane in west Los Angeles, a few blocks from OJ's Rockingham house--but an apartment building. They came at noon on a slight rainy, drizzly day last week, hooked it up to a tow truck, because the battery is not hooked up, the gearbox is not finished. I am restoring the car that I bought 31 years ago used. I got it with some residuals from the series ``Twelve O'clock High.'' It is gone now to some shop down somewhere in Los Angeles. The people that stole the car were sitting in it 3 days before. My son was back here with me, got snowed in with that blizzard. Neighbors saw them. They said, would he sell this car, the owner? No way, they are restoring it. Cut the Club off the wheel. Police were called by my son's neighbors. They came and said somebody has to call the owner. They forgot who. They said this car is going to be stolen. Two or three days later at noon, by tow truck. My 31-year-old classic is towed away. I heard somebody asking for help to bring down a child molester. Let me be creative, Sonny, since this well goes into homes all over America, maybe 1,300,000 people. I do not want to get too wild with the reward, but I will give $2,000.…

Right. ``Draft dodger'' is certainly a pejorative label. If I moved it around and used gerunds and verbs and said ``dodging the draft,'' that is what he did. I went to the Cambridge cemetery at Cambridge, England, and looked up the grave…
Wow. Mr. Bilbray you were as eloquent tonight as last night, and I hope all of America on Saturday clicks on C-SPAN. I hope the great Mac Collins of Georgia is in the Chair and that we have America watching a merciful, fair, reasonable…
I started, believe it or not, when I was 19 years old, when I joined the Air Force. And while I was waiting to go to pilot training in July 1953, I had just turned 20 by then, I joined when I was 19 in October 1952. I served basic, waiting…
