George Crile and "Good Time" Charlie Wilson did a vastly entertaining
exposition at the LBJ Library a few weeks ago, to a crowd of about a
thousand folks. Crile is the guy who put together the book on Wilson's
exploits in Afghanistan, *Charlie Wilson's War.* Send me a reminder in a
couple of weeks and I'll get a copy of something interesting to you.

How you keepin'?
