mr. humphrey or mr. symington accept the vice presidential nomination. i think they would all make it quite clear that they would not. i am making it clear that i will not, but i will work extremely hard for the party. in 1956, when i was defeated for the vice presidential nomination, i think i probably spoke in more states for the party than any other democrat, and i will do so again. >> mr. steel. >> senator kennedy, you have defined the job of the vice president as that of breaking ties and watching the president's health. does that mean if you are the presidential nominee of the democratic party, you will select a throttle-bottom as your vice president running mate? >> no, i will select the best man i could get. if my life expectancy was not what i hope it will be, but that really is not, i wouldn't think, an enviable prospect for the second man, whose only opportunity to exert influence in the course of events would be if i should die. >> will your refusal to accept the vice presidential nomination pertain, if by chance you are defeated as the presi

mr. humphreys. >> good afternoon, members of the board, director riskin, thank you for your consideration, i'm steve humphreys, the ceo of fly wheel. some of you might know fly wheel is the app with nearly 2/3 of san francisco's taxis on our system. together wree and taxi magic provide access to virtually every taxi in san francisco, even here now you can see on a rainy rush hour in san francisco the nearest cab is two minutes away, easily accessible. realtime geolocated, very usable for the customers, and the legal fleets and drivers in san francisco are working very hard to compete with all the illegal and new services that are coming out and they are making lots of headway. our rides through fly wheel are rated 4 and 5 stars 95 percent of the time by our passengers here in san francisco. 95 percent 4 and 5 star ratings, 70 percent straight up 5 stars. driver reliability, when a driver accepts a hail through fly wheel, more than 99 percent of the time they show up to pick up that passenger so quality and reliability are being delivered by your fleets here in san francisco. so despite th

compared to the cool jack, humphrey looked and sounded like a typical politician. >> this is my wife, mrsn. how do you do? mrs. halston, glad to see you. >> as planned, kennedy's team played up their man's youth and war records, contrasting lieutenant kennedy's hero status with humphrey's failure to serve in world war ii, a fact that still amuses kennedy friend ben bradley who served on a destroyer in the pacific. >> humphrey wasn't in world war ii. he wasn't, you know -- what was he, a hospital maid or something like that? >> you guys are unbelievable. this is what i'm talking about. you guys kept score on who was in the front. >> we knew people's war records. we sure did. >> remember, senator john f. kennedy can be our next president. with four weeks left kennedy trailed humphrey by 20%, so his campaign turned up the heat, buying tv time, to address head on what his pollsters saw as growing concerns about kennedy's catholic religion. >> i don't believe it to be one of those serious issues where i go to church on sundays. >> the strategy worked. senator kennedy crushed humphrey with 60%

mr. dirksen. nor has the senate minority leader, nor as far as we know has, the senator humphrey. he was informed by his aide of what happened. his aide reported that his voice cracked several times and that he seemed numb and was unable to make a response. i am told by an aide of senator ted kennedy, who is presumably en route to dallas with his brother robert, that when senator kennedy was informed of this, he laid down the gavel and quietly stepped down from the roster and proceded to leave the chamber. all through the city, as we try to call government offices, it is almost impossible to reach prominent officials. i tried to call the attorney general's office and discovered the attorney general had been out at his home in virginia having lunch. the girl who answered the telephone was crying so heavily that she could not make herself understood to me. i can only make out that she knew the attorney general was at lunch and that he had been informed of what had happened. it is a state of shock -- that is the only way i can describe the feeling we have here in washington. it goes

mr. chairman. i am reminded of the movie theblanca, claude rains french chief of police goes into ricks cafe and says, i am shutting it down. rick comes up, played by humphrey bogart, and says, why are you showing -- why are you shutting this down? the police chili -- the police chief says, i am shocked that gambling is going on. that is just as claude rains comes up and says, your winnings sir. the past master of running this committee would be shocked and amazed that something was given to the "washington post" yesterday. i am not saying it was, i don't know. what if it did happen it would not be the first time in this committee's history that arguments were given to the press at approximately the same time they were distributed -- the was grateful that i had washington post so i could keep track was going on in the committee. >> reclaiming my time, which is my time, from my good friend. what shocks me is that our witness, who was the deputy chief information officer and deputy director of the office of information and services for medicare and medicaid, who has been identified numerous times as the chief person in charge of repairing this website at the

mrs. humphrey, robert ellesmere, some of which went into ten unauthorized editions. when hope published and authorized in addition in 1886, he assured thomas harding that we will do the best we can withh that in these distressing times when it seems next to impossible to do anything with anything. so, aggressive was the reprint industry at the time. o-oscar whoscar wilde learned ts a victim of american pirates while on his famous tour of the united states in 1882. in addition of the poems printed together with one of his lectures had appeared in a pamphlet and george munro's library and it quickly appeared and he complained to american reporters that in all of your railroad cars i find newsmen selling my poems store when i never can resist the impulse to rebuild a lesson on the defense. get piracy also helps spread the same and helps with the lecture. he earned thousands o of thousaf dollars as his share of two or received. piracy was a national compex activity intimately bound up with legitimate publishing and the copyright law. they put it in 1882 piracy was the pr
