The newspaper and magazine articles which follow are my story. I am a member of the generation that witnessed the fall of the Nixon presidency due, in large part, to the noble journalistic efforts of Woodward and Bernstein. These heroes and the dogged, unflinching questioning of Nixon by Dan Rather, consumed me with the passion to pursue writing, as a vehicle for political, social and spiritual change.
Winston Churchill said, “If you are young and conservative, you have no heart; and if you are old and liberal, you have no brain.” If the attached chronicles of a shameless liberal give rise to a new thought or a good laugh, then I have won my war.
