Thanks for the ping re the book. If you are into this, go to this link: ( Magic: The Untold Story of U.S. Intelligence and the Evacuation of Japanese Residents from the West Coast during WW II by David D. Lowman link)

Before you buy this book, for some real fun go to your local library and ask one of the politically correct librarians if they have this book or can borrow this book from a lending library.

I did this at our local libray with one of these creatures. At first she/it got really hostile when I showed her the printout telling about the book. Then she went on the computer got even madder and then suddenly changed. She asked how I knew about the author and this book. I said that friend on the internet told me about this book.

This weird interchange went on for about 7 minutes. My wife was watching it from about 25 feet away and came up at the final part. As the clipped hair and now semi friendly librarian, had entered the data for to try and get the book if not available, she would buy it in Feb. if I requested it at that time. As I thanked her, she smiled and asked if I was in the military, and I said a long time ago. She asked what branch and I said Navy. She smiled and said we will let you know if we find the book or need your request to order it.

My wife had watched the changes in her personality and said that on my next trip, I should ask this librarian if she was in the military and what she did. My wife said that if the book came in or I went back to talk to this liberian, she wanted a comfortable seat to watch act 2.

THanks for the ping.

Hope you enjoy the book.

Funny, even tho' i'm in the Boston area, the library i go to had the book a long time ago, befor 9/11 i believe.

Funny the reaction you got about it.

Ask the librarian if she's read the book next time or knows about its contents. Should raise a nice ruckus.

Thanks for the recommendation. As it happens, I'm reading it (the Lowman book) now. I got it from amazon, after swarthyguy -- I think it was him -- recommended it to me. It's a real eye-opener.
