Bush makes Powell first black, young-est man to be JCS head
WASHINGTON – President Bush names Army Gen. Colin L. Powell, a veteran of both the battlefields of Vietnam and the corridors of power in the White House, as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday.
Powell, 52, will become the youngest officer and the first black ever to hold the nation’s highest military post.
“I am ready to go to it and I look forward to the challenges ahead,” Powell said, standing alongside Bush and Vice Presi-dent Dan Quayle at an afternoon announcement ceremony in the Rose Garden. The nomination drew immediate praise on Capitol Hill and is expected to easily win confirmation in the Senate. Sen. John Warner of Virginia, ranking Republican on the committee, said, “He’s eminently qualified… I’ve been pres-ent in the Oval Office and Cabinet room when military issued were discussed with the president. When he spoke, everybody listened.”
Powell, national security adviser to Ronald Reagan in the final year of that administration, was picked by Bush over more than 30 more-senior officers.

Highway Patrol officials won’t say how fast their new eight-cylinder, high-output marked patrol car will travel, but to quote
one official, “It’s bad.”The latest addition to the state highway patrol’s fleet of cars
is 25 marked 1989 Ford Mustangs, now in use throughout the state. One car began service in Orangeburg County two weeks ago. The small, sleek cars are marked the same as the larger patrol cars – gray paint, blue markings and the patrol’s gold shield. They also handle the same and travel at speeds comparable to the patrol’s unmarked fleet of Mustangs, officials said. Like the patrol’s 90 unmarked Mustangs in use, the newest Mustangs are helpful in high-speed pursuits. They’re quicker than the larger cars.
