I've seen this before, and it's interesting, but I don't particularly like it. The problem I have with it is that it only gives you solar systems very similar to our own, with an Earth-sized Pluto at the end of it. No Hot Jupiters and no planets with high eccentricity orbits like the ones...

================================================================================= March 16, 1975 Nixon removed from office Today, a visibly drunk former President Nixon was physically removed from the White House. He was carried off by two heavily-armed Secret Service agents into an...

He's still in the White House! Things are about to get interesting. That's all I'm saying for now.

=================================================================================== March 14, 1975 Schlesinger, Clement resign [1][2] In a stunning scene reminiscent of the so-called Saturday Night Massacre, both the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of Defense have resigned, just one...

=============================================================================- March 12, 1975 Ford, Cabinet mull declaring President unfit The President’s erratic behavior of late has concerned many in Washington, who fear that he may do something reckless in a last-ditch attempt to stay in...

Well put. This is what I was going for. Part of the problem is that I ended the previous post before I could post more (I think the next post will clarify what's going on). Nixon's usual level of paranoia, combined with the stress of impeachment, combined with his heavy drinking, combined with...

Thanks. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to show Nixon's deteriorating mental state. I'll leave it in.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had reservations about it myself - think I'll edit it out.

I'm working on a timeline right now that involves a hypothetical scenario that involves Nixon not resgining and going through with an impeachment trial (shameless plug...

============================================================================== March 8, 1975 Excerpt of telephone call between President Nixon and JCS Chairman General Brown (Declassified April 22, 1995) [1] NIXON: “Good morning, General.” BROWN: “Good morning, sir.” NIXON: “I have a...

That is pretty much what I had in mind. There are two reasons for this. First, Nixon knows that he is very likely to be impeached thanks to members of his own party. He likely sees this as treachery. He might think, 'Whatever happened to party loyalty? And loyalty to the country (as embodied by...

I like that idea but I was thinking more along the lines of reform of the present system. There are some media markets that are really small, other places where markets could be combined, other places that have a significant population that isn't being served by their own media market. I...

================================================================================- March 1, 1975 Editorial: Give Nixon another chance [1] A crisis is brewing in Indochina. The Communist armies of North Vietnam are killing, raping, and pillaging their way through the South. Our politicians...

Excellent analysis. I have been thinking along much the same lines, mulling over these scenarios. I have chosen one of these options, but I don't want to give too much away at this point.

I don't know if there's any interest in this idea, but I want to hear the forum's feedback... I have an idea to redraw the media market areas for television in the United States. Basically, the US is divided up into 210 regions, and each region typically has one affiliate of each major network...

I've seen this map before (it's made by a professor in Texas by the name of Dr. Scotese). It's based on the idea of reversion, where the continents will not continue to move in their present directions and in many cases will reverse their movement since Pangea. An interesting idea, but I have a...

================================================================================ February 25, 1975 Nixon gives testimony in closed-door Senate hearing [1] A month after his impeachment trial began, President Nixon finally appeared on the witness stand. In his first day of closed-door [2]...

I'm not an astrophysicist, but... I would say somewhere around Mercury's eccentricity (0.1-0.3) is about right. Any less than that, and you will get tide-locking. The Earth's Moon has an orbital eccentricity of 0.05, so mild eccentricity probably leads to tide-locking rather than 3:2 resonance...

Orbital eccentricity would be nice to know, especially if it is greater than 0.1 or so. If it's greater than that, you will get a weird resonance thing like Mercury has (which, like your planet, has a solar day twice as long as its year). If it's less than that, your planet will be tide locked...

I assume this is a kind of lox found at Goldy's Deli, served with bagel and schmear.
