Dave's Place

In closing, let me thank you, the American people, for giving me the great honor of allowing me to serve as your president. When the Lord calls me home, whenever that day may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future. I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.

— Ronald Reagan, November 5, 1994 (from his letter to the American people revealing his Alzheimer's diagnosis)

Dave's Book Reviews

Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45

by Barbara W. Tuchman

My daughter is a reader. This Christmas she gave me one of the nicest gifts I have ever received. She gave me Barbara Tuchman's excellent, Pulitzer Prize winning, Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45. I had already read Tuchman's Guns of August, also a Pulitzer winner.

I think my daughter may have had an ulterior motive. She is studying Chinese in college and she will be leaving for a summer of language study in China in a few weeks. Now that I am done, she gets to read it.

I have to admit that I didn't know anything about General Vinegar Joe Stillwell. After reading Stillwell, I realized that I didn't know anything about China either.

"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ..." Amendment I, United States Constitution "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret." Eph 5:11-12 KJV
