Dick Martin Octogenarihexated

Congratulations on what must have been a very difficult endeavor,   
Laura  - I don't think I'd be up to it.

In other more or less related news  - we're discussing James Baldwin  
and Eldridge Cleaver on another list and so a bit ago I was watching  
video clips of Carmichael,  Brown and Seale (Black Panthers) speak at  
a Free Huey rally.   Same year that Laugh-In came out - my god that  
was an incredible year -  1968  - from Khe Sahn to the Beatles White  
Album.
I was 20 years old and now I wonder that we weren't all crazy - maybe  
we were.
