  • A BookBag??

    [Read the article: How 1968 changed Hillary]

    A friend of mine from Ft. Myers called me last night and asked a simple question. When did you stop carrying your books in a satchel or bag? I said 5th grade. Well, what did you do about them in College, to which I repied - carried them in my arms like the thousands of others. I am nearly the same age as Hillary, which begs the question - is throwing a book bag at the all just another dreamy expression of what she thought she did 40 years ago, an embellishment? An out and out demand for our attention? Look, I lived in Memphis the very day King was shot and I'm here to tell you I wasn't throwing a book or a bag at the wall...I was driving rapidly to my friend's apartment to take cover. We were on fire and bullets and bricks were aflying. I am sorry, but that's just too much for me to believe. A bookbag. What's next - she burned her bra on campus?
