Since the breaker-inners were ordinary people they must have had help in finding these files from some FBI workers, would you say?<br /><br />cheers, Jo Up NorthJo's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07004590496962477481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-32376408468740819042014-09-19T20:59:56.841-06:002014-09-19T20:59:56.841-06:00Just went over to the library website and put a ho...Just went over to the library website and put a hold on it.

Look at Vietnam: we believe in freedom of the press and freedom of speech, but only if you write and say what we agree with. <br /><br />Otherwise you get the police riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention or the massacre of unarmed children at Kent State in 1970. Chilling stuff. <br /><br />Nice to encounter a social studies teacher!

I was in VN two years, 66-68, with three months in Bethesda NH between them. I was in VVAW when I came back. <br /><br />It's difficult to understand those times, and what was going on today.
