-Got a new book going, in fact, two. Ray E. Boomhower's Robert Kennedy and the 1968 Indiana Primary is one which I am reading - how appropriate since once again Indiana is in the political news what with the Hillary-Barack battle for Indiana's delegates. Wasn't living here than (was in Bellevue, WN) but several local golfers remember RFK's visit here in Loogootee. Somebody told me that Joe Allen might have a picture of himself with the candidate - maybe Joe can send me a copy to post - that would be neat. Second book just arrived - from Diane's paperback book swap club: First into Nagasaki, George Weller's long lost account of his censored reporting from that city a month after the dropping of the 2nd atomic bomb there. Each book covers a couple of fairly momentous times 40-60 years ago.
