Speaker 2: Listener discretion Is It Fine?
Speaker 3: Just days after Lynette From's failed attempt to assassinate President
Speaker 3: Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California, Barbara From, a reporter from
Speaker 3: the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, conducts a phone interview with Lynette's
Speaker 3: roommate Sandra Good. The interview is contentious from the start.
Speaker 4: Ms.
Speaker 2: Good, Have you had any contact with Lynette From since
Speaker 2: her arrest?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Have you been able to see her?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Have you been able to communicate with her?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 3: From tries to ask Sandra about Lynette and her arrest.
Speaker 3: Sandra ignores the questions, instead pushing the interview towards the
Speaker 3: subject she wants to talk about, the plate of the environment.
Speaker 6: We have been looking at the state of this country
Speaker 6: and of the world, and it's a myths. It's a
Speaker 6: big myths, and it needs cleaning up. People are going
Speaker 6: to survive. Change is necessary. There are many, many people,
Speaker 6: thousands of people, children included, who are tired of the
Speaker 6: destruction of the environment, the wildlife, the rivers, the oceans,
Speaker 6: miss good cutting down of trees and could we.
Speaker 2: Talk about that in a minute.
Speaker 3: From tries to keep Sandra focused on Lynnette's assassination attempt,
Speaker 3: but Sandra keeps bringing it back to the degradation of
Speaker 3: the environment and the violent action. She says it will
Speaker 3: provoke many people.
Speaker 6: All over the world are doing to be assassinated. This
Speaker 6: is just the beginning. This is just the beginning of many,
Speaker 6: many assassinations that are about to take place.
Speaker 2: Ms. Good, How come you're talking about trees that you
Speaker 2: care about and yet you don't mind killing men.
Speaker 6: Men that kill life, that kill harp fields, that kill trees,
Speaker 6: that poison oceans and rivers and air are killing all
Speaker 6: of us because we need these things to live.
Speaker 2: Do you think that what Lynette from did is going
Speaker 2: to somehow dramatize your case?
Speaker 6: Woman?
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think it was worthwhile?
Speaker 6: Mature world? Woman? Start looking at the world you're leaving
Speaker 6: for your kids and quit putting sensational news stories and
Speaker 6: what you look like and your social position over life.
Speaker 3: The interview continues to falter. From tries to get things
Speaker 3: back on track. She asks Sandra about Charles Manson, who
Speaker 3: is in prison for what will be the rest of
Speaker 3: his life.
Speaker 2: You have been quoted as saying that his job is
Speaker 2: to straighten out the world.
Speaker 6: His job. It's yours job, woman, it's your job. He's
Speaker 6: been left out of this world's madness. You better pray
Speaker 6: he'll help you fix yourselves up. You better pray. I
Speaker 6: don't think he wants to. It's your job, woman, to
Speaker 6: start making gardens rather than pushing your husbands to destroy things.
Speaker 6: I'm talking to the executives, the killers of wildlife and
Speaker 6: of the earth. You stop. There's a wave of assassins
Speaker 6: called the International People's Court of Retribution, and they're watching you,
Speaker 6: Miss Good.
Speaker 2: Was the attack on President Ford justified, then.
Speaker 6: Yes, any attack on any lie is justified. Any attack
Speaker 6: on anyone who puts money and lies over people's lives
Speaker 6: is justified.
Speaker 2: Are you disappointed that President Ford wasn't killed.
Speaker 6: Nope, I'm not disappointed. There'll be many, many, many killings.
Speaker 3: It continues like this for a couple of minutes, and
Speaker 3: then when I.
Speaker 6: Talk about killing, I'm saying there'll be a wave of
Speaker 6: assassins killing those who are killing the environment, eight wildlife.
Speaker 2: Trees, killing mis good.
Speaker 6: To the children and the people.
Speaker 7: Miss Good for them, don't interrupt me, miss Good. I'm
Speaker 7: Toby Ball and I'm Mary Catherine Garrison, and this is
Speaker 7: rip current.
Speaker 8: I find it absolutely incredible and inexcusable that someone of Lymb's,
Speaker 8: Squeaky From's past history, and her reputation would be permitted
Speaker 8: to get within two feet of President.
Speaker 7: Four, episode four Nice Girls.
Speaker 3: Lynette From had fallen out of the public eye after
Speaker 3: Charles Manson's imprisonment in nineteen seventy, but people would have
Speaker 3: read the headlines on September sixth, nineteen seventy five and
Speaker 3: remembered her, probably as Squeaky From, perhaps the most outspoken
Speaker 3: member of the Manson family. As we have mentioned, her
Speaker 3: notoriety did not lead to a comfortable lifestyle. She lived
Speaker 3: on the margins of society, and her life continued to
Speaker 3: revolve around Charles Manson. In the months leading up to
Speaker 3: September nineteen seventy five, Lynette, Sandra, and a third Manson
Speaker 3: night named Kathleen Murphy lived in Sacramento at seventeen twenty
Speaker 3: five Peace Street, a house that had been subdivided into apartments.
Speaker 3: They were poor Lynette received food stamps much of her
Speaker 3: time in Sacramento. Journalist Dan Walters.
Speaker 9: It was well known that this group of Manson and
Speaker 9: acolytes was in Sacramento because he was in fulsome prison
Speaker 9: at the time, which was just a few miles from Sacramento.
Speaker 9: So they were here is his support group, I guess
Speaker 9: should say, so it was well known if they were here.
Speaker 3: Their arrival in town prompted Sacramento TV station KCRA to
Speaker 3: send a reporter named Mary Murphy to visit them at
Speaker 3: their apartment, and in the aftermath of the assassination attempt,
Speaker 3: she described her experience on air. KCRA does not allow
Speaker 3: the use of footage of their reporters, so we have
Speaker 3: recreated some of her report using an actor. The report
Speaker 3: has been slightly edited for length.
Speaker 10: We have an opportunity to meet Lynnette from and her
Speaker 10: roommate Sandra Good and their apartment in downtown Sacramento. They
Speaker 10: said they had moved here to be closer to Charles Manson,
Speaker 10: who was then at FOLSOM, even though they couldn't communicate
Speaker 10: with him. Somehow there was some kind of a mystical
Speaker 10: connection there if they could be closer to him just
Speaker 10: in this that it would be better for Charlie, and
Speaker 10: they wanted to be closer to the center of political
Speaker 10: power in California. They said they wanted to meet Governor
Speaker 10: Brown and Attorney General Evelyn Younger, and they had ideas
Speaker 10: on how the state.
Speaker 1: Should be run.
Speaker 3: Their apartment at seventeen twenty five p Street was modest.
Speaker 10: I think they said they paid about eighty five dollars
Speaker 10: a month in rent. It was furnished mostly with books,
Speaker 10: very plain furnishings. They did have a television set and
Speaker 10: they did have a stereo, which interested me. They also
Speaker 10: had a picture of Charles Manson hung almost like an image,
Speaker 10: like an idol, a religious thing, hung over their window.
Speaker 3: They later took down Manson's picture at their landlord's request.
Speaker 10: They had a lot of grains and herbs and teas around.
Speaker 10: They were very interested in natural foods and in cultivating them.
Speaker 10: They gathered a lot of things themselves, but actually it
Speaker 10: was a very plain space. I kept trying to get
Speaker 10: back to this idea of where did your money come from?
Speaker 10: And they kept saying that were outside of the money system,
Speaker 10: and I kept saying, well, who pays your rent? And
Speaker 10: the arguments would go round and round, and finally they
Speaker 10: started in telling me about how they would gather things
Speaker 10: out of garbage cans, and how they would always find
Speaker 10: things on the street when they needed them. Food was
Speaker 10: somehow provided. Things were provided. They didn't really have to
Speaker 10: go looking for things because Providence was taking care of them.
Speaker 3: Providence's care apparently included encouraging them to panhandle in a
Speaker 3: nearby park, which they did until a group of men
Speaker 3: assaulted them and threatened further harm if they continued to
Speaker 3: work there. The Sacramento Bee ran an article the day
Speaker 3: following the assassination attempt about Lynette, Sandra, and Heather titled
Speaker 3: nice Girls neighbors tell impressions of Manson followers. The title
Speaker 3: is a little strange because the reaction in this article
Speaker 3: is decidedly mixed. A young woman named Chris Doherty said
Speaker 3: that she'd heard Lynette say that she had planned something
Speaker 3: bigger than the tape killing that would happen in the
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks. Because of this, Doherty had obtained
Speaker 3: a gun for self protection. She described Lynette as nice,
Speaker 3: but strange, always touching parts of your body with her hands.
Speaker 3: Another neighbor named Mona Lynch was aware of their past
Speaker 3: association with Manson, but thought they'd turned their lives around.
Speaker 3: They sunbathed in bikinis and occasionally brought her vegetables. She
Speaker 3: did not seem aware that Manson remained the key figure
Speaker 3: in the women's lives. A television reporter interviewed Jesse Faine,
Speaker 3: Lynette's landlord, why not what kind.
Speaker 5: Of a girl was she? She was a gentle, quiet,
Speaker 5: I felt, peace loving girl.
Speaker 3: He recalled a meeting with other tenants where they discussed
Speaker 3: whether they were comfortable having the Manson followers live in
Speaker 3: the house well.
Speaker 5: The meeting was a round the table discussion type of
Speaker 5: meeting that was held here in our apartment. It was
Speaker 5: attended by all the attendants that were home at the time.
Speaker 5: The general outcome was that most of them felt that
Speaker 5: since the girls had never bothered them, or had never
Speaker 5: bothered us, had never given us a bad time in
Speaker 5: any way, even though we knew that some of their
Speaker 5: ideas were a little far up, that we would let
Speaker 5: them stay.
Speaker 3: Others, though, experienced less friendly interactions with the women. Charlene Jacobs,
Speaker 3: was the supervisor of a community garden that Lynette and
Speaker 3: Sandra belonged to, claimed that they stole vegetables from other gardeners.
Speaker 3: Quote they'd send five or six or seven people over
Speaker 3: the fence and just harvest the whole place. She said
Speaker 3: that Lynette was friendly and worked hard on the plot
Speaker 3: in the garden, but that she had angry exchanges with
Speaker 3: Sandra about the stolen produce. Despite Lynette being the one
Speaker 3: to ultimately take action against Ford, it was Sandra who
Speaker 3: seemed most confrontational in her words and attitude. Ksecra's Mary
Speaker 3: Murphy described being surprised by how politically oriented the women were.
Speaker 3: She said that she saw underground literature in the apartment
Speaker 3: critiquing the government and the course of the country. Again,
Speaker 3: this segment is recreated by an actor.
Speaker 10: A lot of conspiracy theories, and they would bring out
Speaker 10: pamphlets from time to time to show me but no weapons.
Speaker 10: Their main idea in life is to get Charles Manson
Speaker 10: out of jail. Their whole life revolved around Charlie, and
Speaker 10: she actually thinks that Charlie could be president of this
Speaker 10: country and run it better than the present political leaders.
Speaker 3: In fact, they were actively trying to spread messages through
Speaker 3: the press. First, they were trying to get newspapers to
Speaker 3: run articles on how important Manson was to the future
Speaker 3: of the country. They also brought press releases to reporters
Speaker 3: about the need to protect the environment.
Speaker 2: Oh sure.
Speaker 11: She and Sandra Good, her fellow Manson family pal would
Speaker 11: come up to the barrel occasionally with news releases about
Speaker 11: the end of the world, the environment, that sort of thing.
Speaker 11: And so it was a small office and we all
Speaker 11: know them. I'm Bill Mucy. I'm a former journalist and
Speaker 11: I was with the United Press International in Sacramento when
Speaker 11: Gerald Ford came to visit and had a big surprise.
Speaker 11: You know, I was in my twenties. They're very attractive
Speaker 11: and very self possessed and clearly didn't really care if
Speaker 11: a lot of people didn't like them. I mean, they
Speaker 11: just had their agenda and they were going to follow
Speaker 11: through on it. And they had the swastikas in the
Speaker 11: middle of the forehead, which was kind of disconcerting. But
Speaker 11: they were always polite, nice and dropped in to say hi.
Speaker 11: I think they had kind of a crush on one
Speaker 11: of the guys in the office. They immediately went straight
Speaker 11: to his desk every time.
Speaker 3: Associated Press reporter Rodney Angove related a story that on
Speaker 3: July third, nineteen seventy five, Lynette had shown up at
Speaker 3: his office with a homemade cake for him. And a
Speaker 3: handwritten note that she wanted published. It was another pro
Speaker 3: Manson screed, calling for his release from prison. If Manson
Speaker 3: continued to be held, The note threatened, quote what happened
Speaker 3: at the Sharon Tate Residents will happen all over again everywhere.
Speaker 3: She left his office, but called his desk later that day.
Speaker 3: She asked if he was going to print the letter.
Speaker 3: He said he wasn't sure. To this, she said, quote.
Speaker 7: Life that's on the line. This is very important. I
Speaker 7: don't have to explain it. All our lives are on
Speaker 7: the line.
Speaker 3: And Angov was not the only reporter to be threatened
Speaker 3: over their coverage or lack of it. This is Bill
Speaker 3: Busey talking about an incident that happened a couple of
Speaker 3: years after the assassination attempt, when Sandra Good was arrested
Speaker 3: for mailing one hundred and seventy one threatening letters to
Speaker 3: corporate executives. We'll hear about this endeavor later in the episode.
Speaker 11: When Sandra got arrested and put on trial. I was
Speaker 11: working at The B, the newspaper Sacramento B and she
Speaker 11: sent me a letter saying she didn't like what I'd
Speaker 11: written in that story that I wrote when I was
Speaker 11: at UPI the jail interview and the Manson family was
Speaker 11: going to crucify me on a telephone pole. I thought
Speaker 11: it was somewhat amusing since all the people who are
Speaker 11: really violent or demonstrably violent in the Manson family were
Speaker 11: already in prison doing life, you know, so I didn't
Speaker 11: worry too much about it. I wasn't able to keep
Speaker 11: the letter though the editor at the B and I
Speaker 11: turned it over to some kind of law enforcement agency.
Speaker 11: Really would have liked to have kept that, But it's still,
Speaker 11: you know, a good anecdote saying, well, the Manson family
Speaker 11: threatened it crucify me on a telephone poll. Now top that.
Speaker 3: As for Lynette's cake and go found it good and
Speaker 3: not too sweet. And about those one hundred and seventy
Speaker 3: one threatening letters, they were part of a strange effort
Speaker 3: of threats and intimidation carried out by Lynette and Sandra
Speaker 3: in the weeks before September fifth, an effort that Lynette
Speaker 3: would later tie to her assassination attempt.
Speaker 7: In nineteen seventy five, Lynette from and Sandra Good, the
Speaker 7: most famous followers of Charles Manson living outside of prison walls,
Speaker 7: had settled in an apartment in a subdivided house in Sacramento.
Speaker 7: While there they seemed to develop an interest in saving
Speaker 7: the environment, an interest that they addressed with characteristic menace.
Speaker 12: Lynette, I think, like a lot of people in the counterculture,
Speaker 12: was skeptical and cynical of industrial society, and this was
Speaker 12: a period where obviously the environmental movement was really breaking forward,
Speaker 12: and those ideas and issues fit in well with her
Speaker 12: own kind of attitudes, and so she, I would say,
Speaker 12: adopted them and superimposed them on the Manson cosmology. She
Speaker 12: would talk about you know, air and trees, you know animals,
Speaker 12: I mean, these things mattered to her, and she seemed
Speaker 12: to conflate environmentalism and respect for the earth with Manson's message.
Speaker 12: Not something that Manson really directly spoke about, ever, but
Speaker 12: he spoke in such elliptical ways that one could read
Speaker 12: a lot into whatever he had to say. In fact,
Speaker 12: more broadly, I would say this was part of the
Speaker 12: Manson charisma. He spoke in a way that people could
Speaker 12: fill in the blanks on their own, and certainly I
Speaker 12: think Lynette did throughout her association with him, that her
Speaker 12: idea of Manson reflected her own wishes or preconceptions or
Speaker 12: ideas more than what he seemed to be.
Speaker 7: About a month before Lynette failed to kill Gerald Ford,
Speaker 7: she and Sandra Good made a trip from Sacramento to Berkeley.
Speaker 7: Dressed in red capes, they visited the offices of the
Speaker 7: executives of several industrial plants. They claimed to represent an
Speaker 7: organization called the International People's Court of Retribution, the one that,
Speaker 7: in her contentious interview with the CBC, Sandra said, I
Speaker 7: would send a wave of assassins their message. If the
Speaker 7: executives didn't reduce smoggy missions, then some serious problems would arise.
Speaker 7: Lynett's arrest on September fifth exposed a broader effort to
Speaker 7: threaten executives who they felt were damaging the environment, an
Speaker 7: operation that apparently sent hundreds of threatening letters. Sandra would
Speaker 7: later be convicted of sending one hundred and seventy one
Speaker 7: of the letters. This is from an interview with La Moran,
Speaker 7: who had been the California State Forester from nineteen seventy
Speaker 7: one to nineteen seventy four. He'd receive threats from the
Speaker 7: International People's Court of Retribution.
Speaker 5: Did it make you a little fearful, little shaky.
Speaker 13: Well, yes, a little bit, but not to the point
Speaker 13: where I won't go on doing my job or take
Speaker 13: any necessary precautions. I would rely on any authorities here
Speaker 13: in Sacramento to tell me what I might do, But
Speaker 13: I don't feel that shaky about it.
Speaker 5: Any idea why your name was on that list, I.
Speaker 13: Didn't have any idea to start with, but I think
Speaker 13: I have gathered a few clues since that Sandra said
Speaker 13: something about trees being cut in California. I was state
Speaker 13: Forester from nineteen seventy one through nineteen seventy four, and
Speaker 13: we have an authority to regulate timber harvesting in California
Speaker 13: on private lands.
Speaker 7: The International People's Court of Retribution never actually existed, neither
Speaker 7: did the thousands of assassins who were going to make
Speaker 7: Tate la Bianca look like child's play. But that does
Speaker 7: not mean that Lynette and Sandra were harmless. Their neighbors
Speaker 7: and people they interacted with found them strange and occasionally belligerent.
Speaker 7: Their continued support of Manson showed a level of comfort
Speaker 7: with deadly violence. It poses the question, how was a
Speaker 7: person with Lynette's notoriety able to not only get close
Speaker 7: to the president, but get close to him while armed.
Speaker 7: The thing do you understand is in nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 7: presidential security was far different than it is today. On
Speaker 7: the internet, you can find film footage of Ford walking
Speaker 7: through the park that day, and the security around him
Speaker 7: is almost quaint. There just doesn't seem to be that
Speaker 7: much of it. Why, knowing that Ford was coming to Sacramento,
Speaker 7: weren't Lynette and Sandra put under surveillance. Ford's press secretary,
Speaker 7: a former NBC News correspondent named Ron Nesson, told the
Speaker 7: press that the Secret Service had no reason to suspect
Speaker 7: that Lynette or Sandra had any designs on harming the president.
Speaker 7: This response drew astonished reactions from many people, including one
Speaker 7: Vincent Bugliosi. Bugliosi, as we heard last episode, had prosecuted
Speaker 7: Manson and his followers who committed the nineteen sixty nine
Speaker 7: Tate la Bianca murders. His book on Manson and the murders,
Speaker 7: Helter Skelter, had been published the previous year, in nineteen
Speaker 7: seventy four. He thought that Lynette and Sandra should have
Speaker 7: generally been under surveillance, but he was particularly outraged that
Speaker 7: they weren't watching the two women during the time that
Speaker 7: Ford was in Sacramento. This is from a press conference
Speaker 7: he gave following Lynnet's attempt.
Speaker 4: During the trial, she and Manson and several other members
Speaker 4: of the family expressed open hostility, as you probably well know,
Speaker 4: towards President Nixon and President Ford. Being the appointee of
Speaker 4: President Nixon, it's understandable to me that in their minds
Speaker 4: he should also be the object of their hatred. I
Speaker 4: find it absolutely incredible and inexcusable that someone of Lynn
Speaker 4: Squeaky From's past history and her reputation would be permitted
Speaker 4: to get within two feet of President Ford. Law enforcement
Speaker 4: does not deserve any credit for the fact that President
Speaker 4: Ford is still alive.
Speaker 7: These and other criticisms provoked a defensive response from Secret
Speaker 7: Service Special Agent in Charge Douglas Duncan.
Speaker 14: I wasn't personally.
Speaker 11: Aware, although.
Speaker 14: Our officers from time to time knowing that these people
Speaker 14: have been in Sacramento purely as an intelligence relation between
Speaker 14: other agencies, and that they have created some disturbance because
Speaker 14: of their relationship with this prisoner, Charles Manson, they have
Speaker 14: never expressed any interest in the president or anything of
Speaker 14: the federal nature. Were you are, we can't sure they'll
Speaker 14: or make that type of an investigation on every person
Speaker 14: that is a little bit out of the ordinary, as
Speaker 14: far as any cause that they might espouse.
Speaker 7: Journalist Dan Walters.
Speaker 9: There's something about the state that tolerates, if not encourages,
Speaker 9: not want to say devian exactly, but behavior that would
Speaker 9: be considered outrageous in other places is tolerated here. So
Speaker 9: the idea of having a Banson groupie lunch and Sacramento
Speaker 9: is like, eh, just you know, it's California, what do
Speaker 9: you say. It was not considered to be a very
Speaker 9: big deal with those that those girls were there. It
Speaker 9: was kind of like, well, you know, Charlie's in prison,
Speaker 9: so okay. Someplace else that would have been like a
Speaker 9: big deal, but not in California because we had lots
Speaker 9: of little cults and communities and weirdnesses are out and
Speaker 9: Sacramento is not immune to that.
Speaker 7: A second question, and the immediate aftermath of the attempt,
Speaker 7: was this, where did Lynette get the gun? In short order,
Speaker 7: it was discovered that the gun had come from a
Speaker 7: sixty six year old retired government draftsman named Manny Burrow.
Speaker 7: This is Dwayne Keyes, the lead prosecutor in the case.
Speaker 7: Against Lynette for her failed attempt.
Speaker 15: Well, mister Boris is the gentleman from whom the defendant
Speaker 15: obtained the weapon. He was a friend of hers, and
Speaker 15: at the time that she obtained the weapon. Why I
Speaker 15: believe well, when he was friendly with her, he was
Speaker 15: living here in this area. I can't make any statement
Speaker 15: concerning their relationship or anything further concerning that.
Speaker 2: Was he involved with the Man family at all?
Speaker 15: To our knowledge, he was not. There was no Involmary.
Speaker 2: Did he give the gun to her willingly.
Speaker 7: Or was it taken?
Speaker 15: That's a question. We're not sure of that circumstance.
Speaker 7: While Lynette would dispute the characterization in court, Borow was
Speaker 7: widely perceived as Lynette's sugar daddy. There was precedent for
Speaker 7: her entanglement with an older man. Years earlier, at spawn ranch,
Speaker 7: she had been designated to keep the elderly and blind
Speaker 7: George Spahn happy, ensuring the Manson family could continue to
Speaker 7: live on the ranch. Manny Borough's association with Lynette and
Speaker 7: Sandra puzzled the people who knew him as a loner,
Speaker 7: and the man neighborhood kids called Grandpa, this is Borrow's landlord.
Speaker 7: In a television interview.
Speaker 16: I have no idea their relationship whatsoever. I know that
Speaker 16: mister Burrow had loaned her his car, the Cadillac. From
Speaker 16: what I understand, she wrecked it, and he purchased a
Speaker 16: red Voltaire and for her, and after that red Bird
Speaker 16: dwagen was purchased. My mom said that she was at
Speaker 16: the house once. I believe other than that she wasn't
Speaker 16: a frequent visitor.
Speaker 7: But apparently they were good friends.
Speaker 16: I am assuming.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 7: It is unclear if Boro knew that Lynnette was a
Speaker 7: member of the Manson family. The FBI initially believed that
Speaker 7: he did not. His daughter in law, Rosette Rankin, was
Speaker 7: at least willing to entertain the idea. She is quoted
Speaker 7: in the Sacramento Bee as.
Speaker 1: Saying, he has got money. She's taking him for everything.
Speaker 1: He could never be involved in that meaning the Manson
Speaker 1: family except for a woman. He was starved for attention.
Speaker 7: Here's Borough's landlord again.
Speaker 4: Did you know that mister Borough apparently at one time
Speaker 4: had a gun.
Speaker 16: Yes. The only reason I know this is because of
Speaker 16: an accident that happened from one from my mother's house
Speaker 16: to the apartment. Was a water leakage and it had
Speaker 16: seeped through his kitchen and into his closet, and my
Speaker 16: mother explained to him what had happened and wondered if
Speaker 16: there was anything in the closet that could have been damaged,
Speaker 16: and he said, well, I have a gun and it
Speaker 16: something that I saved from World War II was how
Speaker 16: he explained it.
Speaker 7: Boro claimed that from had taken the gun from him
Speaker 7: without permission. During Lynnette's trial, he testified that he had
Speaker 7: never even had a loaded clip for the gun, which
Speaker 7: he said was essentially a memento. In the end, he
Speaker 7: was not charged. As September fifth drew to a close,
Speaker 7: President Ford refused to be daunted by the near miss
Speaker 7: and Capital Park. He thanked the people of California for
Speaker 7: what he characterized as a very warm welcome, and said
Speaker 7: that he would not, under any circumstances, feel that one
Speaker 7: individual in any way represents the attitude on the part
Speaker 7: of the people of California. He also committed to maintaining
Speaker 7: his availability to the public in his role as president.
Speaker 4: He let me add with great affiss.
Speaker 13: This answer, under no circumstances you will prevent me or
Speaker 13: preclude me from contacting the American people.
Speaker 6: As I travel from one state to another and from one.
Speaker 4: Committee, and my judgment is vitally important for a president
Speaker 4: to see.
Speaker 6: The American people, and I'm going.
Speaker 14: To continue to have that personal, come active relationship with
Speaker 14: the American people.
Speaker 5: I think it's vital.
Speaker 7: This commitment would be tested again seventeen days later, but
Speaker 7: before then there would be another incident, this time in
Speaker 7: Saint Louis, Missouri, next time on Rip Current.

Speaker 4: Now if you look at this white album. It's a
Speaker 4: Beatles album. There are many other songs. One of them
Speaker 4: is called Sexy Sadie Sadiepp. She thought that the Beatles
Speaker 4: named this song after her. There's also a song called
Speaker 4: Piggies
