        On the day Japan surrendered aboard USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam’s independence. Ho had been promised by OSS that US would support independence. It didn’t! US supported return of French colonials. There are 58,000 names on Vietnam Memorial.

        This post-war world with strong western alliances and peace must have been quite a nice alternate universe to live in.

        Yes Omarosa poured out a lot of WH crap. So do all the Trump Family Syndicate and WH staff. She's likely got all the goods on Trump and that's up against elites: "A source told me the President said..."pic.twitter.com/rgcbrrnteG

        When are the next installments of the LBJ tapes going to be published? They were wonderful to read. But it has been many years since the last book and I never read anything about the schedule for having more tapes.

        We subscribed to Life magazine, so the only thing I really remember is the Times Square kiss photo. I had just turned 7.

        It’s the other column headlines that are more interesting. Radar, Petain, Adm. Perry, etc.
