Today in History . . . 1979. President Carter makes his famous "Crisis of Confidence" speech. The speech is widely panned as with a gasoline shortage, 20% mortgage rates and the Iran hostage crisis there is little to feel confident about. However, the line in which he exhorts Americans to "Quit talking and start walking" no doubt inspired the makers of "Airplane" to include a character for Barbara "Excuse me, Miss. I speak Jive."
