    @patg - my new friend - I learned all I know about poker on a troop ship where I kept winning until the crew showed up.

    Save your money on any Ayers' books. I can sum them up for you: "I, Bill A. (asshole) Ayers am an asshole. Who will ever know whether or not I murdered innocent people, the clueless radical chic liberals will always worship and support me. because, at least, unlike them, I have balls."
