Re: It Was 40 Years Ago Today

I was 10 when this happened. I think it was around this time that I figured out that the war had been going on in one form or another for nearly my whole life and I was only eight years away from the draft. It's a cliche to say that America lost its innocence during the '60s and '70s, but it's true....

“Males basically have to attract and maintain the attention of females,” Dr. McGrew said. “One way to do this is leaf clipping. It makes a rasping sound. Imagine tearing a piece of paper that’s brittle or dry. The sound is nothing spectacular, but it’s distinctive.” O.K., a distinctive sound. Where...
