What made theodore such a great man? In 1901, President William McKinley was assassinated and Roosevelt became President at the age of 42; he remains the youngest president. Roosevelt attempted to move the Republican Party (GOP) toward Progressivism, including trust busting and increased regulation of businesses. Roosevelt coined the phrase “Square Deal” to describe his domestic agenda, emphasizing that the average citizen would get a fair share under his policies. As an outdoorsman and naturalist, he promoted the conservation movement. On the world stage, Roosevelt’s policies were characterized by his slogan, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Roosevelt was the force behind the completion of the Panama Canal; sent the Great White Fleet on a world tour to demonstrate American power; and negotiated an end to the RussoJapanese War, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. continues on page 26 >>>

General Patton Original Oil By Rick Timmons See more of Rick’s art on page 18

America’s greatest general

George Smith Patton, Jr. (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) was an officer in the United States Army best known for his leadership as a general during World War II. He also developed a reputation for eccentricity and for sometimes-controversial gruff outspokenness—such as during his profanity-laced speech to his expeditionary troops. In World War II, he commanded corps and armies in North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations. In 1944, Patton assumed command of the U.S. Third Army, which under his leadership advanced farther, captured more enemy prisoners, and liberated more territory in less time than any other army in history. A German field marshal speaking to American reporters called Patton “your best” (general).

Commentary

The Citizen and the Government By Cal Thomas

n the Aesop Fable “The Grasshopper and the Ant,” there are moral, economic and political lessons for our time, or any other. As the story goes, the lazy grasshopper wiles away his summer days singing and hopping and having an allaround good time while industrious ants work and march and struggle to carry kernels of corn to their anthills, storing up for the winter to come. As you would imagine, the inevitable happens. Come winter, the ants have plenty of food to see them through the cold, fallow months. The fun-loving grasshopper has nothing. The grasshopper begs the hardworking ants to share their bounty, but they refuse. Let’s begin with the political lesson. Government, the grasshopper in this little morality tale, is constantly trying to get its citizens, the ants, to cough up more and more of what they’ve earned by the sweat of their brows so that it might pay for its own needs. The latest of many recent examples occurred last week in Maryland where the majority Democratic legislature

passed another tax increase on “the rich.” Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley and the legislators have

tying the state’s new state-local tax bracket, according to the Washington Post, with that of “...the District’s for fourth-highest in the nation.” Es-

The government

The citizen lowered the definition of “rich” from the arbitrary $250,000 established by President Obama, to $100,000 for individuals and $150,000 for couples filing jointly. Maryland residents will now be slapped with a new tax on top of already high state and local taxes,

pecially in the expensive Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C., incomes of $100,000 and $150,000 are barely middle class. The tax hike caused the Democratic comptroller, Peter Franchot, to protest. Franchot told Washington radio

station WMAL his fellow Maryland Democrats “try to be loyal and want to be supportive of their party, but they’re becoming very frustrated with this long list of almost indiscriminate tax increases that we’re faced with on an annual basis.” Only if the tax-and-spend “grasshoppers” start feeling the heat from the taxpaying “ants” are they likely to reverse course. Some of that heat may soon be coming from people who are fed up enough to act. There are reports of wealthy individuals and some businesses from states with high taxes, including Maryland and certainly California, moving to states with a lower state tax, or no state tax at all. The economic lesson is this: Human nature has demonstrated that if government can squeeze more money out of its citizens without having to cut wasteful spending, it will; and if citizens can get other people’s money without having to earn it, they will become addicted to government and come to regard the sustenance as an entitlement. Compare the huge number of ineffective and wasteful government programs with The Marshall Plan of 1948, which established the Economic

Cooperation Administration, the intent of which was to provide $13.3 billion in U.S. aid to Western European countries to rebuild industry and put people back to work after World War II. Much of Europe is in crisis today because it has become a victim of its own welfare state. Instead of industry, there is indolence. Economies are in trouble because government, not the individual, has become su-

ernment takes money from people who earn it, government has a responsibility to spend it wisely and in ways that achieve the ends set down in our founding documents.Chief among these is that noble sentiment found in the Preamble to the Constitution about promoting “the general welfare.” By “spreading the wealth around,” rather than teaching and encouraging

In America, too, many of our domestic programs merely sustain people in poverty rather than help them to become self-sufficient. Liberal politicians, especially, think this is perfectly fine because addiction to government means addiction to them and to the perpetuation of their liberal agenda. preme. France just elected a socialist president, rejecting necessary austerity. The European gravy train has derailed. In America, too, many of our domestic programs merely sustain people in poverty rather than help them to become self-sufficient. Liberal politicians, especially, think this is perfectly fine because addiction to government means addiction to them and to the perpetuation of their liberal agenda. The moral lesson is this: When gov-

individuals to build wealth for themselves, government robs people of the joy produced by human initiative; indeed it takes from them one of the building blocks that makes us unique among living things: the dignity and reward of work. The moral, political and economic lessons of the past are in fables and reality to teach the present and ensure a better future. By ignoring them, Europe and America risk repeating costly mistakes and suffering the consequences.

Busch Baby

— NASCAR fined Kurt Busch $50,000 and placed him on probation until July 25th for his actions at Darlington last Saturday. Busch sped through Ryan Newman’s pit stall and bumped Newman’s car after the race, sparking a heated confrontation between crew members of the two teams. The oft-fined Busch unofficially became the driver to have experienced the most “G’s.”

Johnny Tapia Dead from a Drug Overdose Rodman sentenced After being declared clinically dead five times before in his life, this time Johnny Tapia is gone forever. Considered “one of the greatest fighters ever,” by Mike Tyson, Johnny Tapia died in his home in Albuquerque, NM from a drug overdose. Johnny Tapia was a prized boxing champion, winning 3 world championships. Although he won many fights and was respected as a skilled professional boxer, Johnny Tapia battled with drugs, alcohol, mental illness and numerous suicide attempts. His whole life he suffered trauma, from living through his mothers murder in 1975, her murders’ gruesome death in 1983 (that re-opened the wound), numerous drug overdoses, and problems in his marriage. In 1995, he was court ordered to drug rehab after a domestic despute with his wife and found himself back in rehab in 2003. He also lost his brother in law and nephew in a car crash on their way to see him in a hospital after he overdosed. It seems like Johnny used drugs and alcohol to kill the pain he was suffering from years of trauma. “Larry Merchant, the boxing analyst, told Playboy in 2004 that Tapia was “a five-to-one underdog to survive his own childhood.” Johnny Tapia is survived by his wife Teresa Tapia and their three children. You don’t have to lose your life to drugs and alcohol, there is help.

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman, known as much for his off-court antics as his court skills, was sentenced to 104 hours of community service and three years probation for failing to pay child support. Rodman, 51, was found guilty on four counts of contempt last year for failing to keep up to date with payments. Orange County Superior Court Commissioner Barry Michaelson advised Rodman to put his skills to useful purposes in serving his sentence. “My suggestion is to use your talents as a motivator, as a fine, fine athlete and as a fine person to assist others in need,” Michaelson said. While Rodman noted he is not earning as much money as he did in his NBA heyday, he said he still plays in Asia and Europe and is “making enough to keep everyone satisfied.”

City Proud of Veterans Needs Community Service Center By Bob Zimmerman, Veteran Advocate America’s Finest City receives virtual crown as Senator John McCain proclaims San Diego as America’s most promilitary city Memorial Day 2012 Ceremony at the Veterans Museum and Memorial Center in Balboa Park. Over 5,000 were in attendance at the event. Veterans past and present basked in a sun-drenched blue sky day in America’s Finest City. The day brought accolades from around a proud San Diego County — home away from home for active duty Marines, Sailors and America’s largest population of military veterans past and present. For an American county to have such a proud military legacy, it seems fitting that such an honor might be

complemented with a “San Diego County Veterans Community Center.” If you will, a “Thank You For Your Service” center that could be dedicated to serving the needs of veterans in search of life after serving as sworn defenders of freedom. Such a complex should be an endeavor by all segments of this proud community, i.e. the general population and both the business and industrial community, and operated as a non-profit 501 (c) 3, providing all donors with an income tax deduction. A food-for-thought Idea that could evolve into a much needed service for those who’ve delivered FREEDOM for all, at a cost of life and limb, and for some, wounds they will live with for life. They are our American Preeminent Volunteers.

Policy Summit on Obesity and Military Readiness As the leading medical disqualifier for young adults denied entry into the armed forces, obesity poses a major national security risk. Some 27 percent of potential recruits weigh too much to

Weight Watchers International, Inc., recently convened a policy summit to examine the growing national security threat posed by a shrinking pool of Americans lean enough to serve in the military. The event brought together experts from the public and private sectors to discuss the roles that government, communities and health professionals can play to reverse this trend and guaranteed the national is able to recruit and sustain a healthy armed forces.

Reluctant to give interview during the last several years, Perot told The Washington Examiner, “It’s been a real privilege to be able to work with the military and help people, and it’s very nice of them to recognize it tonight. “But the real issue is, we’ve got to take care of those people.” Actor Joe Mantegna, a regular on the TV series “Criminal Minds,” received the GI Spirit Award for his advocacy of veterans causes and his work as co-narrator of the annual Memorial Day Concert in Washington, D.C.

Military History

The Berlin Airlift June 27, 1948 to May 12, 1949 Following World War II, a delicate balance of power had surfaced between the once united Allies: Great Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union. The opposing economic structures of capitalism and communism emerged triumphant at the end of the war. The two blossoming superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, sought to ensure their permanence by negotiating territorial claims throughout the globe. At the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, Europe and the Far East were partitioned off as spheres of influence to their respected Ally governments. Germany was divided into fourths allowing each Ally to run its division by a military government until a suitable national government could be devised and the country put back together. This divided Germany, under direct supervision of the Council of Foreign Ministers (Allied Control Council or ACC) and the Kommandatura, was to become the first battleground of the emerging Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The year of 1948 was a critical turning point in the presidency of Harry Truman. He was staring down the barrel of a re-election campaign, presented with his lowest approval rating

to date, and faced with the threat of a possible World War III with the Soviet Union over a developing situation in Berlin. Furthermore, Truman’s record against the Soviets, up to this date, had been ineffective in keeping them from occupying Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Republicans were calling him soft on communism and Senator Joseph McCarthy was at his prime on his communist witch hunts in Washington. In regards to the German situation, General Clay remarked that the mood in the western zones was “more tense than at any time since surrender.” British and American staff were leaving Berlin for the expanding administration of Bizonia, giving Berliners reason to believe the Western powers were leaving. Food rations in some parts of Germany were being cut to 900 calories a day, far below the recommended daily allowance for adequate nutrition. Labor unrest was prevalent throughout all the regions of Germany. Communist groups on all sides of Germany were gaining followers because they offered hope and prosperity in the future. American, British, and French authorities were facing their worst fears....a beleagured German people searching for

drastic solutions. In early September 1947, the United States had, along with Great Britain, combined their zones into one military province called “Bizonia,” hoping to bring security back to the German people. This formal joining helped to provide economic stability to a cash strapped British zone. Soon after, France followed suit and annexed its section to Bizonia. The new Trizone leadership now looked to secure some economic stability in the midst of the German recession. In February 1948, the United States and British proposed to the ACC that a new four-power currency be created. The Soviets, however, hoping to continue the German recession, refused to accept the new currency, in favor of the overcirculated Soviet Reichsmark. By doing so, the Soviets believed they could foster a communist uprising in postwar Germany through civil unrest. In a March 1948 meeting of the ACC, it was evident that no agreements could be reached on a unified currency or quadpartite control of Germany and an infuriated Marshal Sokolovsky and his Soviet delegation stormed out of the meeting.

waited for the other to make a move. Trizonia, finally, in an effort to stabilize the economy, established its own currency on June 18, 1948. The Soviets, trying to push the west out of Berlin, countered this move by requiring that all Western convoys bound for Berlin travelling through Soviet Germany be searched. The Trizone government, recognizing the threat, refused the right of the Soviets to search their cargo. The Soviets then cut all surface traffic to West Berlin on June 27. American ambassador to Britain, John Winnant, stated the accepted Western view when he said that he believed “that the right to be in Berlin carried with it the right of access.” The Soviets, however, did not agree. Shipments by rail and the autobahn came to a halt. A desperate Berlin, faced with starvation and in need of vital supplies, looked to the West for help. The order to begin supplying West Berlin by air was approved later by U.S. General Lucius Clay on June 27. President Truman, wishing to avoid war or a humiliating retreat, supported the air campaign, against many advisors wishes. Surviving a normally harsh German winter, the airlift carried over two million tons of supplies in 270,000 flights. The blockade of Berlin was finally lifted by the Soviets on May 12, 1949. Berlin became a symbol of the United States resolve to stand up to the Soviet threat without being forced into a direct conflict.

One hour passed, then two hours, then twoand-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he liked the sermon. The cowboy answered slowly, “Well, I’m not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn’t feed him all the hay...”

patton (1970)

Patton (1970) is the epic film biography of the controversial, bombastic, multi-dimensional World War II general and hero George S. Patton. The larger-thanlife, flamboyant, maverick, pugnacious military figure, nicknamed “Old Blood and Guts,” was well-known for his fierce love of America, his temperamental battlefield commanding, his arrogant power-lust (“I love it. God help me, I do love it so. I love it more than my life”), his poetry writing, his slapping of a battle-fatigued soldier, his anti-diplomatic criticism of the Soviet Union, and his firing of pistols at fighter planes. The film, shot in 70 mm. widescreen color, received a phenomenal ten Academy Awards nominations and won seven major awards: Best Picture, Best Actor (Scott refused to accept the honor), Best Director (Franklin J. Schaffner), Best Story and Screenplay (Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North), Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, Best Sound, and Best Film Editing. Its other three nominations were: Best Cinematography, Best Original Score (Jerry Goldsmith), and Best Special Visual Effects. The story was based on two books: Patton: Ordeal and Triumph by Ladislas Farago and A Soldier’s Story by General Omar Bradley (portrayed by Karl Malden). As a result of Coppola’s breakthrough win in 1970, he went on to write and direct The Godfather (1972). Although George C. Scott portrayed the famous general perfectly and became Scott’s archetypal film, the role was also considered by Burt Lancaster, Rod Steiger, Lee Marvin, Robert Mitchum and John Wayne. The subject matter was remade as a TV-movie entitled The Last Days of Patton (1986), also with Scott in the lead role.

Patton: “Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.” [Visiting an ancient battlefield] Patton: “The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman legions. The Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn’t hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun. Two thousand years ago. I was here. ” [Outmaneuvering Rommel] Patton: [referring to Rommel’s book, “Infantry Attacks” or “Infanterie greift an”] “Rommel... you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”

Gone But Not Forgotten

Date of Birth 12 April 1923, Austin, Texas Date of Death 22 January 2004, Los Angeles Born Johnnie Lucille Collier in Texas in 1923, she lived there until she was nine, when mother left her philandering father and moved with Ann to California. Even at that young age she had to support her mother, who was hearing-impaired and unable to hold a job. After taking tap-dancing lessons, she got jobs dancing in various Hollywood clubs while being home-schooled. Then, in 1937, RKO asked her to sign on as a contract player, but only if she could prove she was 18. Though she was really barely 14, For advertising information, call (858) 537-2280

she managed to get hold of a fake birth certificate, and so was signed on, playing dancers and ingénues in such films as Stage Door (1937), You Can’t Take It with You (1938), Room Service (1938) and Too Many Girls (1940). In 1939 she appeared on Broadway in “George White’s Scandals” and was a smash, staying on for two years. Eventually RKO released her from her contract, but Columbia Pictures snapped her up to appear in such WW II morale boosters as True to the Army (1942) and Reveille with Beverly (1943). When she decided to get married, Columbia released her from her contract. The marriage was sadly unhappy and she was divorced in two years. This time MGM picked her up, showcasing her in such films as Easter Parade (1948), On the Town

(1949) and Kiss Me Kate (1953). In the mid-’50s she asked to leave to marry again, and her request was granted. This marriage didn’t last long, either, nor did a third. Ann then threw herself into work, appearing on TV, in night clubs and on the stage. She was a smash as the last actress to headline the Broadway production of “Mame” in 1969 and 1970, and an even bigger smash in “Sugar Babies” in 1979, which she played for nine years, on Broadway and on tour. She has cut back in recent years, but did appear in the Paper Mill Playhouse (Millburn, NJ) production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Follies” in 1998, in which she sang the song “I’m Still Here, “ a perfect way to sum up the life and career of Ann Miller.

Memorial Day & Appreciation for those who Serve and Lead

his was a very special Memorial Day weekend for me… I just completed the ten day trip of “Run for the Wall” and “Rolling Thunder” Riding for those who can’t… The Ride is to support the call for more effort to bring home those who have served and are MIA’s or POW’s. It was a real special experience to see all the support in the small towns from LA to

Dave Barr, myself and another Vet walking through Arlington after having some of our guys lay a wreath at the tumb of the unknown soldier. DC. The people in these towns showed how they were so very thankful for those who have given so much. It was truly an honor and privilege to ride with other Veterans for such a mission. I wish more of America caught

this vision… With all the chaos throughout the world today, I am ever more grateful for those who serve and for the leaders in our battlefields for freedom. It has been said: “Leadership is one of the most observed and least understood phenomena on earth.” One of the difficulties in understanding leadership is the inability to comprehend the fact that “true leadership begins in moral commitment, and that its techniques are derived from, and legitimated by, the nature of that moral commitment.” Former Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Charles C. Krulak taught: “from the early patriots of the Revolution to Marines of the present, there has been an unbroken line of service excellence in times of peace and war. We are proud stewards of this heritage, and it is incumbent upon each and every one of us to hand it down to future generations. Our forebears expect it, our nation needs it, and future generations of Marines demand it.” Some of our early nation’s leaders felt so strongly about the need for divine help in the leadership of our country, that they inscribed the motto “In God We Trust” on all of our nation’s currency. It is a constant reminder of our real source of power, willing ser-

We, as true God-fearing leaders, in whatever our circle of influence, can pave the way for the liberties we all long to enjoy and celebrate. True leaders find every way they can to liberate the people for whom they have stewardship. King David taught: “He that ruleth over man must be just, ruling in the fear of God.” (2 Samuel 23:3) He was speaking to all leaders in all places. We see with our great leaders such as George Washington with his well-known

prayer at Valley Forge, and our current president who in a recent speech and news conference said that he includes time each day seeking guidance in prayer. We should feel so inclined in our lives. It is the leader who seeks guidance on bended knee who will win and keep the love and respect of his or her followers. Business leader Max DuPree says it like this: “The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers.” Are they learning, serving, and achieving their highest potential and required results? It is this quality connection between good leaders and followers that is vital to true success in most all our endeavors. Those who exercise wisdom, discernment and even a righteous use of their power, set human souls free to think, feel, dream, make attempts, reevaluate, try again and finally achieve true greatness. President John F. Kennedy believed highly in this and stated the following: “I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit.” General Krulak also said: “Whether you lead, follow or get out of the way, someone is watching you! Your presence, personal appearance, character and actions in every circumstance are under observation. Lead by example. Be good followers.” Real leaders lead with justice and liberty, “in fear of God.” May we each seek to do the same in our areas of stewardship and appreciate those who give so freely of their lives in the service of their fellowman. I hope you had the opportunity to pay honor and respect this Memorial Day for those who have given us so much… It is my hope that this message will help you this week to, “mount up as on eagle’s wings,” and renews a little of your strength to keep moving forward and find joy… “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not be faint.”…(Isaiah 40:31) Until next time, may God bless you and may God continue to bless our great nation… SEMPER FI

‘THE WAR’ is a Masterpiece! Critically-acclaimed epic “The War” now re-released in high definition.

“The World at War” remains the definitive visual history of WWII. Here in America, we have a master in the art of making war documentaries. His name is Ken Burns, and he is the most gifted and prolific producer of films about American history. Known for his style of using archival footage and photographs, Burns’ documentaries have been nominated for two Academy Awards, and have won Emmy Awards and many, many other honors.

Military History

part film directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick explores the history and horror of the second World War from an American perspective through the personal accounts of men and women from four quintessentially American towns. Revealing the most intimate human dimensions of a worldwide catastrophe, the 15-hour documentary paints a vivid portrait of how the war touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America. What I really liked about this film was that it is told honestly and emotionally from the point of view of everyday, average American citizens. Let’s face it, why even try to remake “The World at War!” I have been thoroughly engrossed in this film, reminded of the horror of war and uplifted by the beauty of the human spirit, especially in times of such great suffering and conflict. I highly recommend this collection! Do yourself a favor and purchase a copy posthaste. – Trevor, The Military Press “The War” is narrated by Emmy Award®winner Keith David and includes voiceovers from acclaimed performers such as Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Lucas, Adam Arkin and Eli Wallach and features recordings by Norah Jones and Wynton Marsalis, as well as war-era favorites from Benny Goodman, Nat ‘King’ Cole and more. Presented in pristine high-definition, the Blu-ray also boasts nearly two hours of special features including filmmaker commentary, deleted scenes, additional interviews and a making of featurette.

THE 13 REBELS MOTORCYCLE CLUB 1953s “THE WILD ONE” INSPIRATION 1953s iconic biker flick The Wild One starring Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin, was loosely based on two actual California motorcycle clubs of the day having a highly charged clash in the small town of Hollister, CA. Bran-

Shell Thuet of 13 RMC working on a HD Knucklehead, 1946.

Lee Marvin in ‘The Wild One’ do portrayed 13 Rebels leader Shell Thuet, while Lee Marvin’s character “Chino” was based on “Wino Willie” Forkner of The Boozefighters. Fact is– the gangs were not rivals (although “Wino Wilie” was an ex-member of the 13 Rebels– asked to leave actually for rowdy behavior) and the Hollister incident never happened, at least not to the extent that LIFE magazine or The Wild One portrayed it. Yeah, some guys drank and drag raced a little– it happens. What else happened was a counterculture was born– rolled Levi 501 jeans, boots and leathers (Hello Schott Perfecto!) became the uniform that rebels and bikers lived in, and that polite society demonized.

13 Rebels MC history– The 13 Rebels Motorcycle Club (13 RMC) was started in 1937 by Ernest “Tex” Bryant. “Tex” and the other

13 Rebels MC member Ardin Van Syckle. We’re talkin’ standup guys, not hoodlums— former flyers and servicemen in WWII looking to keep the rush alive. They were solid citizens who loved the sport and brotherhood of riding— accomplished racers, builders and all-around honorable men. 12 top-seated motorcycle racers from Southern California made up the founding members of the club. The 13 Rebels MC was, and still is, an American Motorcycle Association (AMA) sanctioned club. While not the oldest motorcycle club in the U.S (that being the Yonkers MC of Yonkers, NY established in 1903), the 13 RMC has a rich racing and colorful history that has shaped some of this sports historic motorcycle folklore. The 13 Rebels Motorcycle

Club is still in existence today with chapters in various states. The Club is still sanctioned by the AMA. It has been awarded the organization’s “historical status,” meaning the club has been verified by the AMA as being over 50 years old. The 13 Rebels MC exists to carry on the spirit and tradition of the original motorcycle clubs. We are a familyoriented motorcycle club bound by brotherhood, camaraderie, and the love of the sport of motorcycling.

Test Drive 2012 GMC acadia Denali awd

theodore roosevelt Continued from page 3

At the end of his second term, Roosevelt promoted his friend William Howard Taft for the 1908 Republican nomination. He toured Africa and Europe. On his return in 1910 he broke bitterly with President Taft on issues of progressivism and personalities. In the 1912 election Roosevelt tried and failed to block Taft’s renomination. He launched the Bull Moose Party that called for farreaching progressive reforms. He lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson, as the Taft conservatives gained control of the Republican party for decades to come. Roosevelt led a major expedition to the Amazon jungles but contracted diseases which ruined his health. He died relatively young at the age of 60. Roosevelt has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.

Classic Quotes Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country. A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues. A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. Believe you can and you’re halfway there. Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike. Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. I am among those Americans whose ancestors include men and women from many different European countries. The proportion of Americans of this type will steadily increase. I do not believe in hyphenated Americans. I do not believe in GermanAmericans or Irish-Americans; and I believe just as little in English-Americans. Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.

This issue we’re driving GMC’s top line 2012 Acadia Denali AWD, the most expensive of the Acadia family. With prices starting at $33,415 in SL front drive dress, Acadia shares mechanicals with siblings Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave in this popular mid-size SUV/Wagon segment. Available in either a 7- or 8-passenger format, our Denali came standard with just about every convenience and dress-up package available, and then added a $1,890 touch screen navigation, $1,445 DVD rear entertainment system and beautiful white pearl diamond paint for $795 (beautiful). As mentioned in previous tests, I feel Acadia is the best looking of the “GM bunch,” especially with Denali’s unique fascia, chrome exhaust tips, 20-inch 2-tone chrome wheels, badging and color matching fender flares. It all adds to the muscular yet welcoming aesthetic touch, finished off with GMC’s “big red badge” most prominent on Denali’s chrome honeycomb grille. Driving manners are excellent, featuring secure handling and ultra comfortable highway cruising characteristics. Power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 288 horsepower and 270 pound feet of torque. The torque has a nice power band thanks to GMC’s 6-speed electronic automatic transmission, which is now standard across the Traverse, Enclave and Acadia lines. GMC Acadia continues to earn numerous consumer magazine recommendations and insurance association awards. Add GMC’s 5-year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty, and you’re ready for many worry free miles. Important numbers include a wheelbase of 118.9 inches, curb weight of 4,857 pounds, 7.4 inch ground clearance, 22 gallon fuel tank and 16 city and 23 highway EPA estimates. Cargo space goes from 24.1 behind the third seat to a spacious 116.9 cu. ft. with all seats folded. There’s no mistaking GM has a big winner with GMC Acadia. Regardless of trim, you see them everywhere…which is the best measure of success. Likes: Denali treatment, heat and cool seats, cabin room, safety ratings. Dislikes: Limited towing abilities, no “extra horsepower” for top line Denali.

will the real Sacha Baron Cohen ever “come out?” Sacha Baron Cohen: The Man and the Masks By Peter Bart

Wherever your attention wandered these past two weeks, it was all but impossible to avoid the posturing of Admiral General Aladeen — i.e., Sacha Baron Cohen, in full regalia. There he was at Royal Festival Hall in his orange Lamborghini, wielding a golden pistol, and on Jon Stewart’s show, accompanied by his virgin bodyguards (yes, even Stewart acceded to Sacha’s demand to be interviewed as his movie character).

Sacha has made the media rounds now as Ali G., Borat and Bruno, stubbornly refusing to appear as Sacha, which has led many to ask, is there really a Sacha Baron Cohen? I’ve met Sacha often enough now to conclude that it’s a legitimate question. Sacha’s personality disorder (if that’s what it is) provides a flashback to another mythic name that was in the news recently, Johnny Carson, the King of Late Night. A superb “American Masters” documentary on Carson reminds us how, during his 30-year reign, Carson would be consistently charming and accessible before the cameras, only to disappear into a shell

once his last TV guest said bye-bye. Given his marginally

bipolar personality, those in Carson’s tiny inner circle were not surprised when he engineered his total disappearance once his show went off the air. I was lucky enough to have dinner with Carson a couple of times and came away feeling that, as with Sacha, his TV persona represented an invented character — one he did not wish to tug around in his personal life. I’ve also been treated to an occasional glimpse of the private Sacha and even persuaded him once to do a live show before an audience — with Sacha as Sacha. Stripped of his outrageous cover (he was promoting “Bruno” at that time), he seemed uniquely uncomfortable in advancing his own opinions — so much so, that he came across as intentionally bland. The real Sacha, I am told, is brilliant and well read, comes from an orthodox Jewish background and is extraordinarily difficult to work with on a professional level. That’s because colleagues must deal with the demands not only of Sacha but of the bizarre personalities whom he becomes. In “The Dictator,” Sacha has helped concoct a bawdy political farce that, unlike “Borat,” is scripted — much of it clumsily. Sacha’s performance is inspired — A.O. Scott of the New York Times calls him “a cross between a camel and a chameleon” — except when his character is supposed to have a love interest (women in Sacha’s movies are laughable, not lovable). Filmgoers willing to sit through the dead zones will relish the vulgar hilarity, as well as the political message — what other movie is dedicated to Kim Jong-il and sprinkled with Dick Cheney jokes? But will Sacha Baron Cohen be able to build a career around a succession of outrageous characters, appearing in public only as his alter egos? Will he abandon the brilliant pseudo docu style of “Borat” for scripted roles? (He had a part in “Hugo.”) In short, will the real Sacha Baron Cohen ever “come out?” During his amazing career, Johnny Carson remained brilliantly self-protective, retaining his on-camera persona, but that was before the era of TMZ-style reporting that would have magnified his divorces and other secret neuroses. Sacha Baron Cohen is a provocateur, of course, not a host. He is the manic Admiral General Aladeen, the despot of Wadiya in North Africa who is obsessed with his nukes as well as with his virgin bodyguards. Can an actor who wallows in comedic chaos remain invisible?

The New Bond Girl is HOT!

The Bond girls don’t always offer up much of substance in the 007 films but their casting and appearances through the franchise is nothing short of iconic. There have been plenty of rumors as to who would be the latest Bond girl in the upcoming Bond film but with this morning’s announcement of SKYFALL, we now know that French actress Bérénice Marlohe will be Bond’s latest lady friend. But who exactly is Bérénice Marlohe? Marlohe is a mostly unknown actress and model and I don’t just mean unknown here in the US. Her IMDB biography has two sentences and one is that she was just cast as the Bond girl in SKYFALL. The other notes that she made appearances on French TV shows “Père et maire,” “R.I.S. Police scientifique” and “Équipe médicale d’urgence.” In the film, Marlohe will play a “glamourous, enigmatic character” named Severin. Glamorous and enigmatic? Sounds like pretty much every Bond girl... She may not have a whole lot of acting experience to reflect back on so here’s a look at Marlohe’s other work: looking really hot.

Melandri wins again for BMW Motorrad Motorsport!

n amazing performance by Marco Melandri on the works S 1000 RR at month’s last Superbike World Championship round at Miller Motorsport’s Park saw the Italian rider take a win and a second place to catapult him into second place in the points, just 18 behind leader Max Biaggi. Race one saw Melandri burst through from ninth on the grid up into third place. The Donington Park race winner passed Carlos Checa at the beginning of lap two and took the lead on lap five, passing Tom Sykes in the process. With the now familiar sight of a BMW S 1000 RR leading a WSBK race, Melandri knew his main threat would come from Miller specialist Checa, already a four-times race winner at the American circuit. True to form, Checa went to the front on lap seven and was able to pull a slight gap on Melandri, who was conscious of Max Biaggi and Jonathan Rea closing fast. By half race distance, Melandri had shaken off the challenges of the two behind him and stuck to his task of trying to stay in touch with Checa. Visibly pushing hard, the Italian RR rider narrowed the gap considerably, setting the fastest lap of the race in the process, but after making a couple of mistakes in the closing laps, he decided to play it safe and settle for the vital 20 championship points that another second-place podium finish brings. Team-mate Leon Haslam, who had started from 13th on the grid, finished the first race in tenth, just behind BMW Motorrad Italia Goldbet SBK Team rider Michel Fabrizio. In glorious conditions and temperatures nudging 30 degrees, race two saw Melandri work himself up into second position again before the red-flags came out after several laps. After a lengthy delay to safely prepare the circuit for racing again, a restarted 18lap race saw Melandri get the holeshot but Checa forced his way past on the first lap. However, the reigning WSBK champion crashed out of the race on lap 5 leaving Melandri leading the race. Before long Melandri had Jonathan Rea and Chaz Davies for company, with Max Biaggi joining the battle several laps later. A four-rider thriller fol32 June 1, 2012 THE MILITARY PRESS

lowed with Melandri losing the lead on lap 10 and slipping down to third before regrouping and retaking second place back from Davies. With Rea back in his sights, Marco upped the pace, setting his fastest lap of the race as he targeted his second WSBK victory of 2012 on the RR. It took until the 18th and final lap for Marco to take the lead again, which he then successfully defended in a thrilling battle with Rea. It was the race of the season so far and an extremely successful outing for Melandri, who collected 45 points out of a maximum 50 and moved up into second place in the points. Leon Haslam rounded off a difficult weekend at Miller Motorsports park with an eighth place finish in race two. Marco Melandri: “It is amazing. My team and BMW did an awesome job. Here in Miller it was my worst weekend last year, and it was the worst for BMW, too. So going home with two podiums, a win and a second place, is like a dream. In race one, I was pushing like in qualifying from the first lap until the end. The tyre was working very well until the end. Yesterday we were struggling a bit too much, but today fortunately the weather was better for us. And I was feeling even more comfortable on the bike with less fuel in the tank. I tried to make the life not easy to Carlos, but in some corners, I could not go his line with the four cylinder bike. I tried to catch him, but on the last lap I tried not to push too much because it was easy to make a mistake, and a second place and the podium was good after such a tough qualifying. In race two, for sure I had a little bit of luck in this race with Carlo crashing. I was struggling a little bit in the beginning, and when Johnny passed me I lost the concentration. It took me some time to catch him. But again, when the fuel dropped down I felt so much better on the bike and fortunately I could pass Johnny on the straight because my engine was so strong. Otherwise it would have been very difficult for me to try to make a pass. I am happy because the bike is working well on different types of tracks. But now we have to be focused, we cannot think that

we are going to be on the top every Sunday so we have to keep working. But my team made a great job, thanks to everyone, to all the guys back in Germany. I am so happy and proud to be with BMW. This is the best team I ever worked with.” Bernhard Gobmeier (BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director): “What a fantastic day for BMW Motorrad Motorsport! Having in mind the extremely difficult weekend we experienced here at Miller last year, for sure we would not have expected today’s results. We knew that we had made steps forward, but we would not have dreamed of winning here. Marco was with the top from the first practice session on until today. Unfortunately it did not run smoothly for Leon this weekend. He had electrical issues and only had very few laps to set up the bike. To make matters worse, he had a puncture in Superpole. I am convinced that at Misano, Leon will be among the frontrunners again. So far we have been competitive on every circuit we raced on this season. And for Misano we again expect to be fighting for the victory. Tonight we are going to celebrate - after our one-two victory at Donington came with a bitter after-taste, the whole team has deserved a real party tonight. A big thank you to Marco and Leon, to the whole team here at the race track and in Stephanskirchen and Munich. Each of them contributed to this great result.” Result race one 1.

Will Depp and Burton rise again with ‘Dr. Phibes’? By Liz Smith

“WE ALL go a little mad sometimes.”– Norman Bates, “Psycho.” THE JOHHNY DEPP/Tim Burton big-screen retooling of TV’s legendary “Dark Shadows” hasn’t been released yet, though the trailer looks fabulous. (This new version appears to be intentionally funny, as opposed to the unintended yucks sometimes generated by the series, which taped live.) But another Burton/Depp collaboration is already said to be in the works. These two have paired seven times over the years. They are the Laurel and Hardy of surreal horror/fantasy. Rumor has it that the boys will recreate the famous Vincent Price villain, Dr. Phibes. All horror fans recall 1971’s “The Abominable Dr. Phibes,” with Price as a mad doctor set on avenging the death of his wife. It was one of the late actor’s most beloved characterizations. (He reprised the role a year later in “Dr. Phibes Rises Again.”) Both Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have spoken of their fondness for Phibes. And also for Vincent Price. Indeed, Burton wrote the role of The Inventor in “Edward Scissorhands” specifically for Price, which was the actor’s final big-screen appearance. Now screenwriter and author William Goldstein has worked up a new Phibes novel, “Dr. Phibes: In the Beginning.” Goldstein is no stranger to the character, having penned similar novels when the two “Phibes” films were released. The book is in the hands of Warner Bros. and producer Jon Jashni, who has pitched it to Burton and Depp.

What sort of man reads The Military Press?

An on-the-go guy whose desire for adventure know no boundaries. He's a jet setter who makes the action, then moves on before the crowd arrives. Facts: 4 of every 5 Military Press readers surveyed said they would like to travel around the world, while only half of all nonreaders expressed this interest. Twice as many Military Press readers as nonreaders said they would like to spend a year in London or Paris. Sound like our man is worth following?

meet Adrianne Palicki Date of Birth 6 May 1983, Toledo, Ohio, USA Nickname Annie Height 5’ 11” (1.80 m) Adrianne was born in Ohio and graduated from Whitmer High in Toledo. She didn’t take the stage in her first play until she was a sophomore at Whitmer High School (where she was runner-up for homecoming queen). While in high school she played basketball and ran track. Her parents still live in West Toledo.

Trivia She worked at Togo’s as a sandwich maker when she first got to LA. Was a runner-up for homecoming queen at Whitmer High School. Ranked #79 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007 list. Attended Whitmer High School and graduated in 2001. Has a tattoo of her parents’ names - Jeff & Nancy on her arm.

Personal Quotes When I lived in New York for those three months, I needed to see a play every week, because eventually that’s where I want to end up. I think the character of “Kara” on “Smallville” (2001) was a little different from the one in the comic because her motive is different. She’s not evil by any means, whatsoever, but she does come to Clark for a specific reason. She doesn’t really have a sense of right or wrong; the morality isn’t there. My psyche has been very impacted in that there are moments where you’re, like, ‘Do I really want to do this?’ Though I know in my heart this is what I really want to do, the question was: would I enjoy the process itself? I would love to do Broadway, I don’t think there’s anything more amazing than theatre. Okay, Supergirl is number one. Maybe I could be Supergirl on Broadway! That would be perfect. In all honesty, it’s unbelievable to get these roles. You work so hard when you’re trying to be cast and to get a guest role on a low budget show would be a dream come true, but to be able to do these two shows and play these characters, there are no words. I am so lucky to have done them. We had a fight scene that was amazingly well-choreographed, but then Mr. Woo came in and said, ‘Very good, but do this’, and he goes in there and starts fighting. It’s just amazing to see John Woo kick alien ass! It’s not something you get to see very often.
