Thanks for the book rec. I think you've made them before. You must really
like them.

A few years ago an "eye opener" book was recommended to me on the Kennedy
Administration. I got about half-way through the book, thoroughly
disgusted, and returned it unfinished to the library. Books or tabloids
written for the sole purpose of smearing someone do not appeal to me. My
daddy often preached that no matter how great a man, when he sits on the
toilet, he puts out a stink. I don't need to read details on the stink, I'd
rather read details on their greatness.

Best wishes on your upcoming marriage. Oh, be prepared to give up on thick
bath towels. In UK, at least to my experience, they use large dish towels
to dry off.
