A Reminder:  “Army Massacres Students At Kent State May 4th 1970”

My thoughts about the Kent State shootings, May 4th 1970. In these unstable times, we need to remember how people put their bodies on the line in the past – and Nixon was removed from office. From 2017: Here we are, in another unfamiliar Presidential malaise Under Mein Trumpf. I have reason to post this […]

Army Massacres Students At Kent State May 4th 1970

I have reason to post this as a memory for the students that protested and those that lost their lives, but with an eye on the near future. First, here’s a summary of the shootings of students by the National Guard, it’s complicated but […]

  • Review: “Continental Reckoning” By Elliot West
    I learned quite a bit in reading this huge book, which probably was meant for college classes. Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is.

  • All About Ken Kesey: Two Reviews

Both books were actually written in California, and both are […]
  • Review: “Acid Dreams” By Lee & Shlain
    I found “Acid Dreams; The Complete History Of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, And Beyond” a pretty good summary of the LSD experience, from the use of the drug in interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, to the use of such drugs to destabilize the revolutionary youth movement. At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]
  • Did Jack Scott “Radicalize” The NBA’s Bill Walton?
    Did Jack Scott Radicalize NBA Star Bill Walton? Sadly, we have to note that Bill Walton (and Jack Scott) are no longer living. Walton was a hero for many where I grew up in Portland, Oregon. He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
  • Review: Gold Warriors – America’s Secret Recovery Of Yamashita’s Gold
    This book, “Gold Warriors”, by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave is really, really good. It can be expensive because it is out of print, but I bought it long ago and it has been waiting in my “to read” pile. Affordable copies can still be found, I ordered one for a friend and apparently it is […]
