by Chernow on Washington. I'm almost done with it, and I hope you'll like it as much as I have. Did you get one for Christmas, George? EDIT: I'd forgotten that Jon and RR were also interested. Anyone else? Edited by brenda, Jan 19 2011, 10:25 AM.

HOLY CARP!!!

I will too. Interesting interview with Chernow (and Morris and Ellis) on TTBOOK. http://www.wpr.org/book/110109a.cfm |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Jon, I think it was a chat between you and George that first let me know the book was available. Thanks! |
