" 'at ebenezer baptist church in atlanta, the president and first lady join hands with civil rights leaders in a hymn. with them are rev. martin luther king sr., ambassador to the united nations andrew young, and coretta scott king'.---courtesy of the jimmy carter library and museum, national archives id #183007." r.i.p. rosalynn carter. "the tonkin golf fracas, which threatened to derail lbj's campaign, turned out instead to boost his election prospects. 85% of the nation approved of his handling of the situation." well, if you get "reports" of a military event, i guess you just gotta go with it: 'who am i to blow against the wind'. it has since been proven that the attack from a north vietnamese gunboat was a hoax, similar to hitler's hoaxing of a polish provocation on the polish/german border which (hoax) precipitated the war to end all wars, ww2. leola: it takes imagination to write."

" IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WAR AND THE WAR WAS WITH GOD AND THE WAR WAS GOD. GOD SAW THAT WAR WAS GOOD." the gen x-ers are no longer the 'new kids on the block', so it is time for them to grow spiritually--high time.

"like cows and goats, caribou belong to a group of animals called 'ruminants'. their teeth are often ground down by their constant chewing. so, their teeth are always growing." "caribous are herbivores, animals that only eat plants. their main food source is lichen, a plant that grows mostly on rocks. they can also eat grassy plants and willow leaves. travelling in a large herd is safer than travelling in smaller groups because there are more animals to fend off predators, like wolves or wolverines. each herd has a leader to guide the group safely on their migration.

" so the context of kennedy's memorial to youth gave way to a new exhortation of youth on a grand scale, four-headed and beatific, arty yet giddy, foreign-looking yet somehow familiar-sounding, hilarious on the surface with strong undercurrents of seriousness, lust, and resolve, a sense that enormous shifts had already happened. from now on, and for at least the next decade, rock and roll carried a subversive force within the mainstream that made it seem like truants were the new power brokers." "in much the same way as muhammad ali's championship bouts played out as civil-rights sagas, each beatles hit carried larger meanings both for rock's style and its audience's aptitude,,,sacred thrills, shared secrets, collective mirth." " ' december 18, 1963. bbc paris studio, london. the FROM US TO YOU recording session, broadcast the following week on the beatles own 2 hour radio special'." " 'december 18, 1965. alfred lennon reclines with a cigarette for a photo shoot to publicize his single, THAT'S MY LIFE'." " 'lennon featured a nude portrait with yoko on the cover of UNFINISHED MUSIC #1 TWO VIRGINS'." " 'april 22, 1969. apple rooftop. john changing his name to john ono lennon on the site of the concert that closes LET IT BE'." " 'november 8, 1972. new york. john bows at yoko's feet the morning after nixon's reelection landslide. at the party the previous evening, he had openly cheated on her in the next room'." "finally, at the end of a long, grinding summer when song takes stretched out indefinitely and wait times lasted even longer, ringo starr simply walked out." "his walkout got resolved just before martin left for a long-planned vacation in september." riley calls paul's drumming on DEAR PRUDENCE, an imitation of ringo; he evaluates this 'impersonation' of ringo at the pads, as nearly as good as paul's little richard vocals imitation. i wonder how tim riley would rate paul's imitation of george's guitar styling on the new, 'last', beatles' single, NOW AND THEN?" so the context of kennedy's memorial to youth gave way to a new exhortation of youth on a grand scale, four-headed and beatific, arty yet giddy, foreign-looking yet somehow familiar-sounding, hilarious on the surface with strong undercurrents of…
