Bright & cold. Did radiocast—had to do a little writing—to get an insert in on meeting with Gorbachev. After radiocast at Laurel took our places before fireplace for greeting & photos with each of 135 newcomers to the Camp D. crew since last Xmas. Then lunch at the mess with the enlisted men & women. I did a little Q&A with them. It was fun.
Spent afternoon mainly on homework I’d brought along. Dinner & at 7:45—Camp D. detail Christmas Caroled us. Then the movie, “North by Northwest”—Cary Grant. A call from Ken D.—we are going to stop by the Russian Embassy tomorrow afternoon & sign the condolence book re the earthquake.
