jd! I LOVE this. I was there on the Mall that day... and for a few days after- the window pane was excellent, especially when you didn't know it was a 4 way and ate the whole thing! Whew!! And you're right... where did it all go? Thanks for sharing!
it is so sharp in so many spots / love the opening line, and 'Nixon wasn't home' / the 'no passion' echo is very effective /
to late for all this..but I've always felt like I should have been there.
I remember shadowy headlines and my older cousins talking about Kent State and Nixon...
One of the few headlines I remember clearly was Jim Morrison dying...had no idea who he was.
Thanks for giving me a nother look at an era what fascinates me.
Excellent form, restrained and yet rich with images.
Great work
