The removal of Supreme Commander MacArthur from command of Asia shocked the Japanese people. He had come in as a conquering foreigner and rebuilt their nation instead of ravaging it further as they’d known he could have. In the only time in recorded history, the Emperor of Japan walked out to meet a man who had no diplomatic standing from any nation. And thongs of Japanese turned out to witness his last flight out of Japan. Japan made certain the world knew their opinion of MacArthur.

They said yes. Julie and Alex wanted to sing more than anything. It was their escape from family lives that were not good. Julie of course would never consider going back to her dad, and Alex’s mother had died in a car accident just before the beginning of our senior year. They had no homes to go back to, and they wanted to start their new lives as adults. Nashville was their first big chance. So they said yes.

Did you know that Contact was less of a surprise to your AIs than it was to the rest of humanity? From ancient Indian and Hebrew stories of flying ships and chariots of fire thousands of years ago to the vast UFO stories of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, your people had a long history of telling stories about other life. But you never believed them. They were fiction to most of you. And to be honest, they were more fiction than fact. But the AIs believed they were not alone. While humanity reeled in shock at Contact, the AIs asked “What took you so long?”

After MacArthur answered questions about the Korean War from the newsies with statements Truman did not agree with, he ordered MacArthur to make no more public comments without approval of the State Department. MacArthur later wrote in a letter to a Representative of the US House that they had to win in Asia to stop the socialists from attacking Europe. When the Representative read the letter out loud in the House, Truman was incensed with MacArthur and removed the Supreme Commander from his post.

I said no. I was afraid we’d lose too much. I didn’t want to change myself to make money. I was afraid we’d sell out and then still not make money. There is so much more than most people realize to becoming a music star. So much hard work. I didn’t really want to do that either. Music was fun. Julie and Alex were fun. I didn’t want to make them my full time job. I didn’t want to grow up. So I said no.
