I liked Garcia Marquez's "A General in his Labyrinth"...I am fascinated by Simon Bolivar...
Reading "Love in the Time of Cholera" made me wish I had cholera....could not finish it...

I have to guess you could be close to my age ( hope you are not that old ) Yes I think both of us are right about Vietnam , people didn't want to see people they went to school with die. I had 5 very good friends killed over there one die a few after he came back but it was an injury from the war. The reason I say TV ( News ) was cause it was the first real War that was on the news every day. .
