No way I’m giving The NY Times my email.

It would be interesting to see what they said about him- his books were interesting, and I understand that he was court martialed for writing his first one.

The last one I read got a little too weird for me- when he quit using a co author.

His real life exploits were the stuff of legends.

Met him once at a book signing of his at HarMar B&N. So long ago Jesse drove him to the appearance before he was governor. I remember people telling him he should run for the job...

I have a photo of Dick and I (he's very short) but whoever took it didn't know how to use my camera and it's pretty blurry.
