RE: Remembrance, sort of, of years past. Some comments on your column about the good old days of 1967 as put forth by you in your unlinkable column in today’s Sun Sentinel.

Big Stein,

Winning the world series every year…”

Tim Schiavone – the subject of your column

Somebody is still drinking a lot of beer. Maybe some Mary Jane. The last place that made LSD legally was 7 miles from where I lived in New Jersey. Due West on Route 10.

P.J. O’Rourke, the noted American sage, said that his fondest memory of Woodstock was the clap.

Also, the Yankees lost 90 games in 1967, finishing 9th in the Eastern Division. 9^th is a bit better than 10^th. If they played by English Premier League rules they wouldn’t have been in the American League in 1968.

But who can forget “Hey, hey LBJ! How many kids did you kill today”?

Remember Vietnam? That was Johnson’s other war. At least this one ended. Didn’t Johnson promise never to send American boys to fight in a foreign war? Wait a minute! Isn’t that what FDR and Woodrow Wilson said? You betcha’. There may be a pattern there.

One of my favorite quotes was Johnson saying “they can’t bomb a shit house without my OK”.

You’re right about having to listen to Donald and Ted and Mario.

Should God punish us further by letting Hillary be elected there will be a run on battery powered ice picks. It will be the surest way to stop having to listen to the shrillest Hecate in Christendom

If Bernie should win the first three rows of his press conferences will look like the first 3 rows of a Gallagher concert.

I am still waiting for you to tell me whether you approve/disapprove of Israel hanging Eichmann. Also, has Little Stein found out if it’s Ok to read Wordsworth again? Have the Chick-Lit Word Police removed their fatwa?

Get back to me, OK?
