:17:01
ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT'S BUMPY.
:17:03
LOIS, GET IN HERE!
:17:07
LOIS, EXPLAIN THIS
COLUMN OF FIGURES.
:17:10
CHIEF, THE PRESIDENT'S
COMING ON LIVE.
:17:13
OH, HE IS? OH.
:17:14
I DOUBT
IT'S GOOD NEWS.
:17:16
IT WON'T BE
THAT TERRIBLE.
:17:18
HOPEFULLY,
VERY TERRIBLE, MISS LANE.
:17:20
WE COULD DOUBLE
OUR CIRCULATION
:17:22
WITH A GOOD
INTERNATIONAL CRISIS.
:17:25
AND BECAUSE
THE SUMMIT HAS FAILED,
:17:27
WE HAVE NO CHOICE
:17:30
BUT TO STRIVE
TO BE SECOND TO NONE
:17:32
IN THE NUCLEAR ARMS RACE.
:17:34
THEREFORE, I AM ANNOUNCING
THE FOLLOWING MEASURES--
:17:42
I KNOW YOU'RE ALL UPSET
BY THE CRISIS.
:17:44
THE BEST THING WE CAN DO
IS THINK POSITIVELY.
:17:48
NOW, IS THERE
ANYTHING WE CAN DO?
:17:52
DOESN'T ANYONE
HAVE A SUGGESTION?
:17:54
ALL RIGHT.
:17:56
I'LL MAKE A SUGGESTION.
:18:00
LET'S WRITE
OUR CONGRESSMEN.
:18:02
THAT'LL DO
A LOT OF GOOD.
:18:03
SOMEBODY HAS TO BE
AN OPTIMIST.
:18:07
JEREMY?
:18:10
WHAT CAN WE DO
ABOUT THE CRISIS?
:18:13
HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
:18:15
I'D WRITE A LETTER TO SOMEONE
THAT WOULD DO SOME GOOD.
:18:19
WHO, SANTA CLAUS?
:18:21
NO! SUPERMAN!
:18:23
SUPERMAN, THE SUBJECT
OF OUR NEWEST EXHIBIT,
:18:25
HAS GRACIOUSLY DONATED A STRAND
OF HIS HAIR TO THE MUSEUM,
:18:29
SO WE CAN SEE HOW STRONG
HE REALLY IS.
:18:32
HERE YOU CAN SEE
A 1,000-POUND LOAD
:18:35
EASILY SUSPENDED
BY HIS SINGLE HAIR.
:18:37
THE MUSEUM WILL
BE CLOSING SOON,
:18:39
SO WE SHOULD
HURRY A LITTLE.
:18:42
YOU KNOW WHAT
I CAN DO WITH THAT HAIR?
:18:46
YOU CAN MAKE
A TOUPEE THAT FLIES.
:18:49
THAT HAIR IS A SAMPLE
:18:50
OF SUPERMAN'S
GENETIC MATERIAL,
:18:53
THE BUILDING BLOCKS
OF HIS BODY.
:18:55
WITH ENOUGH NUCLEAR POWER
TO MUTATE THE GENES,
:18:58
I CAN CREATE A BEING WHO'S
MORE POWERFUL THAN HIM,
