I knew Veterans of Viet Nam who returned to school and in their graduate work became interns with me. Their feelings were just as described in this book.. Then I read all the books that I could about Viet Nam having had some students who were conscientious objectors....etc. I missed this one and will get it at the Library. My step brother is still not normal having been in that war which he cannot talk about even though I urge him to do so. He just never recovered Post Traumatic Shock... All we can glean is that he saw his buddies blown up and that is was a horrible mess as this book ( I read snippets but the print is too small to proceed further ) describes. Thank you for sharing. Northampton is a beautiful place. I almost went to graduate school there.. Smith but ended up at Hofstra... ML

"Going After Cacciato" -- I can vouch for that one, it's a great read.

"Soul of the New Machine, I really liked that book. No other has captured the culture of technology like that, and I have read plenty. TP

Well Thank you very much, a19, And please excuse my delayed response for we have been out and about. Centered around an annual Independence Day family and friends reunion in the great northwest.. My brother always puts it on, on our lake front property. And then we take short trips to British Columbia. this time it was the the Nelson and Creston areas, on different sojurns, hitting the the little antique shops, the little cafes, the book stores and on and on.. Nelson was our favorite, with the beautiful laid back people, especially the women, I have a weakness for beautiful and thoughtful women. That's why I married one. :) But I digress, but I will, for my brother and I each bought a great hemp t-shirt from from one. Well at least it was half hemp..<g> But Creston was fun too in a different way, with fruit and candy stands and such.. Including a great trip over an almost 2000 m pass. And a great lunch spot, I might add. And on the way, I got a great photo shot of a black bear.. Maybe a 300 pounder. I even got it standing upright and looking at me.. I have to figure out how to get the magnified version on the computer.. But I digress so much.. Maybe because when we got back, we heard about London and the SOS, "the tit for tat" that will go on for ages untill SOMEONE gets wise to the fact, that t4t(tee for tea) will never work.... :( ... I think you will understand my POV, for, from what I read of your writings, you are one fine person. And a gentleman too... :) Anyway, moving on on, (I hope) Based upon the recs you got here for his, (Tim O'Brien) writings, I will have to have a look. Take care, m
