10K: Well, I know she played Maggie Thatcher. Couldn't remember Karen Silkwood on trip home, but can now. Tell audience, then ATA

30K: Seatbelts varied by state; cig warnings didn't. Cig warnings

50K: I was changing classes in the early afternoon, I think, eastern time, when the news came that he'd been shot. They funneled us into the French teacher's class as she had a television. They sent us home before the 3:00? end of the school day. 50/50 & hope it doesn't leave both mid-day times.
