Remembering The Vietnam War
This is a great post about the Vietnam War from Cynthia Samuels at Don’t Gel Too Soon…
This morning I attended a briefing by NYT Political Reporter Matt Bai; he was speaking on his new book The Argument: Billionaires, Bloggers, and the Battle to Remake Democratic Politics . It’s a thoughtful, exciting look at American politics – very original. Although if you’ve read his stuff you know that’s no surprise.
I was taking notes, so I headed the page with the date – and was stunned. It was a memorable day, at least for me.
Remember the Vietnam War? Or at least all the stories you’ve been told about it? Today, October 15th, is the 38th anniversary of one of the major demonstrations against that war — after the chaos of 1968 and the election of Richard Nixon: the Vietnam Moratorium.
