Hi Michael, I stumbled upon your book a few years ago and loved it... brought me back to when I was a MacNeil/Lehrer regular. Truth and memory, while related, are not identical twins. I too voted for JFK, though only in my mind. The voting age in 1960 had not yet been lowered to 18 and you and I are the same age. Maybe you fudged it! I look forward to your all too rare posts and thank you for being in the world. Stan
Stanley, you are right. Minds are wonderful things, are they not? Wishful thinking, no doubt. The real question is, did I vote for McGovern in 1972? Probably, since I really disliked Nixon. The other real question in that election is, who did I vote for in the primary? I'm inclined to say, Humphrey, but I'm not sure.
That aside, thanks for reading the book. I'm reasonably sure you were who I had in mind when I wrote it.
