Meglomaniac......if the ego fits.
I remember that! The next day I sent a letter to Howard Stern mentioning that Admiral Stockdale looked just like Captain Pike from the Star Trek episode of "The Glass Menagerie." Do you remember Captain Pike? He actually did look like Stockdale and he was stuck in some metal box and couldn't communicate at all except for a couple of lights going red or green indicating "yes" and "no." Anyway, Howard read that commentary comparing Stockdale to Captain Pike on the air.
p.s. I have over 200 copies of letters that I sent to Howard Stern from 1991 to 1996. Do you think I should upload them up to the Net for all to read?
