Man caught after jumping White House fence

  Updated:2006-04-10 08∶14

  WASHINGTON-A screaming intruder(入侵者)made it onto the front lawn of the White House Sunday while President Bush was at home before being caught by Secret Service officers.

  Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren recognized the man as 40-year-old Brian Lee Patterson, whose last known address was in Albuquerque, N.M.Patterson has been caught trying to get onto the White House grounds at least three times before, Zahren said.

  The bearded man, wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt that said “God Bless America”, jumped the fence outside the White House and ran across the north lawn while repeatedly crying, “I am a victim of terrorism!”

  Members of the Secret Service Emergency Response Team, including one holding a barking dog, ran after Patterson with their guns drawn and surrounded him near the row of cameras set up for television stand-ups.

  “I have intelligence information for the president,” he said, waving his arms in the air.“I’m not afraid of you,” Patterson screamed at the officers who were ordering him to the ground with guns drawn.

  Patterson finally kneeled on the ground and was taken into custody shortly before 4 p.m.He cut his hand jumping the fence and was taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment and was to appear in court Monday, Zahren said.

  Zahren said Patterson was charged with unlawful entry for the last time he jumped the fence, in February.He faces the same charge for Sunday’s incident and also a contempt of court charge for disobeying judge’s orders to stay away from the White House.

  Just ahead of me was Peggy,a teacher from Mount Kisco.She was too running   3  ,moving along at my speed.The pace felt comfortable,so I decided to   4   where I was.Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a good one?I'd overtake her   5   when she was tired.

  So I ran behind her,The course   6   north for five miles,wandered west for a hilly mile,then turned south again along a winding road.The race was getting   7  .We had four miles   8   and already it was beginning to be real work.

  Peggy overtook a young runner.She seemed to   9   him,for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him.Their exchange   10   me.

  There is an important   18   in that race,Women are thought to be weaker,slower and not nearly   19   skilled in sport.Yet as Peggy so clearly showed,the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences.I have run with   20   women,and I can say that it is often hard work.
