Yes, I had remembered Laborers' International Union of North America and Byron York's coverage of same. I was no longer a union thug at that point, having turned sharp right by then, but a number of the connections outed by York were still known to me as late as the 1990's. [The article was in TAS in 1997, not 1977; a small typo in your piece ... I'm old, but not that old.]

Johnetta Cole is another matter. I was unfamiliar with her case until Rowan made his defense of her; her deeper background was unknown to me until tonight. It is sadly very unsurprising.

One other small matter. Both www.keywiki.org and DiscoverTheNetWorks.org are great resources for FReepers. You have a typo in the latter that omits the 's.' These people, and their networks are still out there, but many of us have grown less vigilant over the years, and they have burrowed deeper into the woodwork.

Thanks for catching my date typo or any others. The old eyes aren’t what they used to be and “7” and “9”s all look alike at night.

Or maybe I’m a closet dyslexic and don’t know it. That cardiac arrest thingy didn’t help either.

At least I know what I mean which I say, “Let’s party like it’s 1999”. Prince, cool guy and singer. Loved “Cream” and “Raspberry Beret”.
