Truly it was “one of the most awesome armadas ever assembled,” as Major
Bill Stocker, in command of the lead B-52, later described it. The roar

lawsuit against CNN and is seeking a “substantial payment” in the wake
of a series of undercover videos showing bias against the Republican president inside the network.

subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and
unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current

“I was a member of the Legislature of 1868-69.
Q.
Do you not know that Littlefield was very active in procuring the
passage of bills making appropriations to the various railroads during
the sessions of 1868-69?
A.
I knew that he had a bad reputation. I have seen him in the lobby [of
the Legislature] very often, and in close conversation with the
members. I think he was very active in procuring the passage of those
bills. I know that liquors and cigars were kept in one of the rooms of
the Capitol, and was said to belong to General Littlefield.”
