Inevitably he and the star fell in love, the war intervened, and she was singing at Carnegie Hall (I think) when the end of the war was announced. She managed, with a little help from her co-star, to get the audience singing I Wish I Was In Dixie in honour of the losers.Can anybody recall it? Movie title, stars, date, anything at all, really?

It is shocking to me how the problems we had then (1968) we still have now. Maybe even worse. We can't or won't learn to get along. The bad guys then are the bad guys now. They seem to be winning. I wonder why?

No one ever came back so we can only imagine what awaited the folks who were sent there. I wonder if the US head of state has considered banishing people who anger him to the cornfield? He could add that to his repertoire along with the TWITTER-BASHING! The more weapons he has to eliminate people who criticize him the better off he will be, willn't he? less
