The Missile Defense Agency, an element of the Department of Defense, headquartered at Ft. Belvoir, VA, and Redstone Arsenal, AL, is implementing the Strategic Defense Initiative. There are several operational elements of the Initiative stationed around the world, especially at Ft. Greely, AK. Someone you know worked there twice a few years ago. Of course the SDI doesn't look like the caricature described by the media in the 1980s, but that is because the caricature was never accurate (as caricatures are wont to be).

Yes, all of that is true, and it is also true that we don't have lasers shooting down missiles from outer space as the SDI proposed.

I would have like to win for best adaptation of a book. I created a stage play from the book Flowers for Mrs Harris.

The only person stopping you from making this happen is YOU, GB!

So true. I was happy at the time that we performed the play. One of my favorite memories.
