Is the actor on the left DeForrest Kelly? Looks like him to me anyway.

Ironically the only way I ever read the eloquent George Will is on the Internet.

trouble is, Cronkite is too senile to know what is going on. He still thinks he is great.

Daughty one and you both have insightful posts....For instance the Dallas Morning news runs stuff from the AP and the NY Slimes...both stinking to high heaven with media bias. There is starting to be some backlash and letters to the editor about the slimes articles....which I doubt will do any good. They will know when I stop my subscription it will be an indication that they are in big trouble with their lazy reporting because I have read the paper daily since I could read...

Circulation might not be as low if the papers would stick to reporting news, and leave commentary to the editorial never; remember that most journalism students choose the profession to "change the world" which obviously means transferring income through law and government no matter how inefficient.

And trying to make The People believe our Constitution is a living document that should be reinterpreted every year or so.

Our family car during the 70's was the fire engine red Vista Cruiser (with side paneling, of course) that my ol' man bought new in '72. Man, that thing would haul the mail !!!

I was the little brother back then, and so was relegated to sitting in the very back seat, which faced out the back window. That situation made me a little ill more than once ! I always liked sitting in the middle-back seat so that I could look out the 'moonroof' !

I was the middle kid so I got to alternate between the Jump-seat and the middle seat in my parents '66 Vista Cruiser.
I bought my father-in-law's '70 Vista Cruiser when he
had to have something else to pull a longer travel trailer.
That '70 Vista Cruiser felt like my "Major Award".
I had finally arrived! My beautiful wife looked like
a suburban empress behind the steering wheel of that
land-yacht.
