music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

FDR and the Jews, Book review NY Times 3/9/2013

This is a good book review(page C1) that gives an emerging look at a much discussed subject.  It is best to read it and form your own opinion of the time, decide if you want to read the book and learn more.  What I liked best was the concluding two paragraphs of the article..in quoting Henry L, Feingold, the author of The Politics of Rescue: The Roosevelt Administration and the Holocaust, 1938-1945, 

"The survivors said, 'You didn't do enough to save us,' and who could deny it?"  Mr. Feingold said, "But do you write history as it should have been or as it was?"

Interesting, that another article (Page C5), A Triangle of Mutating Meanings , talks about the past, and uses these words in the play it is discussing, "There are things I remember which may never have happened, but as I recall them so they take place," Anna says in "Old Times."
