Thank you, Ken. This was one of a number of stories that emerged from my research into a correspondent's life - that of Keyes Beech. More on this in future posts!

Hi Jonathan. Thanks for the read. The desire for simple solutions seems to run like a thread through the narrative, from going to war to suing for peace from a position with marginal physical power. Vietnam started a soul searching of the American psyche that initiated a lot of the change we see today. Hopefully events won't repeat, as per Santayana's dictum. Thanks again for sharing this story

Looks to me like an outline for a book. I hope you're writing it!
