We’re entering the home stretch of the campaign--or didn’t you know that? WE’ve set our sights on victory. And I believe the election of 1984 will be victory for us all - for the future over the past, for progress over failure, for hope over despair... 04:48:30 And what an airplane! You know I have no complaints about Air Force One, but I was wondering, does Rockwell take trade-ins?
