Excellent- enjoyed the read David. I visited Cambodia a few years ago - by motorcycle no less - so your story brought back some feels - albeit it as stressful as yours.
I lived these times in college, and obviously all since Eisenhower. I really enjoy the 1st person accounts David. I find it interesting as well, to read the contemporary news!
Did folks notice the Senate vote to set a 60 vote filibuster limit? What is sheer mockery today, is the reason: to limit debate and move on. They had apparently a 2 week stall on some matters. Watergate was in full swing then.
But I failed to read where the Senate 60 vote rule was to be used as a weapon by McConnell and Republicans 40-50 years later.
So much for "original meaning". A term conservatives use a fickle self-serving convenience!

This was an incredible read.
Hanging on every word! Can't wait for your memoir.

So VERY kind, K. M. compensates (and more!) for all the work !!
Thanks ever so much, Elizabeth .... more than compensates for the 10 churlish subscribers who've promptly 'disabled' me after this !!
You are so very kind, Lesley! From your lips to the ears of my indomitable agent and (eventual!) editor !
Just delighted, Peter .... it is comments like this that more than compensate for the 10 other subscriber who've promptly 'disabled' me !!!

A compelling and stressful read. Thank you for this, David.
A vivid and terrifying account. I look forward to your memoir.
Many, many more happy birthdays and thanks for this intriging and wonderful read this morning. Warm wishes and thanks, Elizabeth

What a line. Loving your memoir series, thanks for writing.
