You can pick
the only luxury convertible made in America.

1:07:14
But no matter which of nine Cadillac models
you are to select...

1:07:17
they're all part of the Cadillac tradition.
1:07:20
Tonight, February 17.
1:07:21
Good evening. Secret Service officials
are still puzzling over...

1:07:24
the landing of an Army helicopter
early today...

1:07:27
on the south lawn of the White House.
1:07:29
It all started
shortly after midnight last night...

1:07:32
when Army Private First Class,
Robert Preston...

1:07:35
stole an unarmed helicopter...
1:07:37
from Fort Mead, Maryland.
1:07:39
The joy-riding pilot was identified
as 20-year-old PFC Robert Preston...

1:07:42
an Army helicopter mechanic...
1:07:44
who was reportedly unhappy
over flunking out of flight school.

1:07:47
He was charged with unlawful entry
into the White House grounds.

1:07:50
I sincerely believe that if his attitude
was to crash into the White House...

1:07:54
he could have accomplished it
without any problem.

1:07:57
Do you think his attitude
was to crash into the White House?

1:08:00
I do. I really do.
1:08:03
It wasn't like a light bulb really.
1:08:05
It was more like an old candle...
1:08:07
just a plain, simple idea.
1:08:11
But in that moment, Mr. Bernstein, I knew...
1:08:17
the die was cast.
1:08:23
Mr. Bernstein...
1:08:25
I have the utmost respect for you.
1:08:29
Your music...
1:08:31
is both pure and honest.
1:08:35
And that is why I have chosen you...
1:08:37
to present the truth about me to the world.
1:08:43
$120, 40, 60, 80, 200.
1:08:46
One, two, three, four and 33 cents.
1:08:49
There you are, Mr. Bicke. All cashed out.
1:08:51
I'm sorry.
1:08:57
It's a shame innocent lives
are going to have to be lost, Maestro.
