He was brilliant in his assessments of how societies are organized. (insert annoying buzzer sound) - sorry that is not correct - 1 down 3 to go I do wish Zappa had hung around to comment on the goings-on in today's world.

Kurt Vonnegut? (I know nothing about Margo Kidder.) P.S. I met Kurt's son, Mark Vonnegut, at a Harvard Med School dinner in (?) 1979 or 1980. I had read his book, The Eden Express, about his psychotic break and hospitalization in Vancouver. He recovered, and graduated from HMS in 1979, then did a pediatric residency at Mass General.

He recovered, and graduated from HMS in 1979, then did a pediatric residency at Mass General. That's the winner. Kurt Vonnegut wrote some interesting essays for In These Times magazine where this is from. Always wanted to meet him, just to say thanks. Any time I was in NYC I always kept an eye out just in case I might see him on the streets. The Cold Turkey essay at the link is well worth the 5-10 minutes reading time. Highly recommended. Link to articles - Your guess is as good as mine Margot Kidder - the actress who played Lois Lane in the 1st Superman movie was a political and environmental activist (& supported Bernie) & wrote articles on Counterpunch. She was quite radical. Wikipedia has a good summary of her activism. Edited August 16 by Bill Fite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ecker Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 On 8/16/2024 at 7:41 AM, Steve Thomas said: - Donald Trump - "We gave her (tMiriam Adelson) the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers get the Congressional. And they’re in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it and she's a healthy beautiful woman, and they're rated equal." Bunch of suckers and losers. Steve Thomas I'm going to play psychiatrist. Trump's constant mantra is "I haven't done anything wrong." So naturally he has to rationalize his finding a doctor to say he had bone spurs to keep him out of the military. How does he do it? Denigrate the military, of course. It was only right for wrongless Trump to stay out of such a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
