Picture: Windy and cold at the golf course yesterday afternoon. Note Jonathan Livingston Seagull making the rounds with me...Sex is back in the news again. This time with John McCain. Did you know that the French elderly gentleman have a habit of buying drinks for their elderly gentlemen peers who show up in public places (bars and cafes, I guess) with younger women? Would someone send a bottle of red to the presumptive Republican presidential candidate? Jeesh. Come on, America. We're better than this. Btw, Bloomington has no similar tradition to the French one I mentioned above; my daughter, Miki, will attest to that.
Coming to the end of The Coldest Winter. MacArthur has been relieved and returned to the United States where he was received with love and respect, at least for a little while:
On his return from Korea, after his relief by Truman, MacArthur encountered massive public adulation, which aroused expectations that he would run for the presidency as a Republican in the 1952 election. However, a U.S. Senate Committee investigation of his removal (which largely vindicated the actions taken by President Truman), chaired by Richard Russell, contributed to a marked cooling of the public mood, and hopes for a MacArthur presidential run died away. (from the MacArthur link)Best go have some breakfast and then maybe a walk...
