#9 NEA was established during LBJ's administration. One of those Great Society things I guess. Can't imagine how we got by before then. Thanks, Lyndon. Thanks a lot. /sarc

#10 I don't know if this guy wrote any books, just a couple of chapters. He did do his writing after Theodore Roosevelt.

I went in expecting to find them all in a dither of effort, engaged in the positive business of getting the troops, supplies, et., that will be needed to settle the Korean mess. They seemed indecisive, which was natural in view of the indecisiveness of political statements. I have no business talking about the basic political decision (to support or not to support South Korea). It happens that I believe we'll have a dozen Koreas soon if we don't take a firm stand, but it was not on that basis that I talked to my friends. My whole contention was that an appeal to force cannot, by its nature, be a partial one. This appeal, having been made, for God's sake, get ready! Do everything possible under the law to get us going.

An earlier chapter had something about soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied expiditionary force.

I would think the steward of the arts would know this little bit of information.

Maybe he is onto something here, how did this most talented scribe form and grow?

Maybe, just maybe, without the NEA this good enough for government work master of arts may have gone into engineering and designed bridges and airplanes.
