One of my favorite songs of all time indeed.
And well, hmmmm, one would have to ask TR himself to get that answer, IMVSHO.

Finished listening to Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy - Eric Metaxas read by Malcolm Hillgartner (2011).
Excellent biography, updated with data from the East German archives. Gave me a better appreciation of the political/religious process and activities in Germany 1936-41. Well worth the listen.
Starting one of the following - we'll see which one gets traction:
Control: Exposing the Truth about Guns - Glenn Beck (2013)
Cowards: What Politicians, Radicals, and the Media Refuse to Say - Glenn Beck (2012)
Privacy, Property, and Free Speech: Law and the Constitution - Jeffrey Rosen (TTC9438, 2012)
Project Azorian: The CIA and the Raising of the K-129 - Norman Polmar & Michael White (2010)

Finished Project Azorian: The CIA and the Raising of the K-129 - Norman Polmar & Michael White (2010)
K-129 was a Delta class Soviet nuclear missile sub that sank in the North Pacific in the late Sixties. Soviets didn't know where it sunk, but we did! Describes the building of the Hughes Glomar Explorer and the raising of parts of this 300' submarine from over 16,000 feet deep.
Looking at these next:
Mussolini - Jasper Ridley (Nadia May) 46Kb (1998)
Japan 1941; Countdown to Infamy - Eri Hotta (Laural Merlington) 96Kb (2013)
Steakley, John - Armor (Tom Weiner) 64Kb (1984)

It was a week of Mondays at work. Thank God today was a training holiday and I had leave to burn. Three hours of driving listening to SiriusXM 76 Symphony Hall and now some John Dowland Galliards ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=613nUS1m3j8 ). Great Bourbon sipping music. Definitely something to put the week behind me. Though many of you will have wildly different opinions!

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

During the past three weeks of riding aircraft and treking Nepal I burned through the following:
Bounty; The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty - Caroline Alexander (Simon Prebble) 64Kb (2003)
Boring. What made this book great was the rich use of Olde English from the 1700s quoting from actual diaries, newspapers and courts martial reports. Delicious.
Captain Cook - Alistair MacLean (Unknown) 32Kb (1972)
Fastidious description of a fascinating man by a fantastic fiction author. Covers the three voyages of exploration and discovery. Interesting tie in with the Bounty.
Gideons Spies; The Secret History of the Mossad - Gordon Thomas (Theodore Bikel) 64Kb (1999)
Fashioned more as an expose and a setting the record straight. Quick listen and interesting insights. More believable than many of the previous misinformation put out on the covered topics. Good early timeline naming names.
Last Gunfight; The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral - Jeff Guinn (Stephen Hoye) 41Kb (2011)
Pretty detailed account covering the backstory and very in-depth descriptions of ALL the players.
Lawrence in Arabia; War, Deceit, Imperial Folly, and the Making of the Modern Middle East - Scott Anderson (Malcolm Hillgartner) 32Kb (2013)
Wow. Better than Seven Pillars. Author combines many sources and puts into focus many puzzle pieces that were previously indistinct. A must read for those interested in WWI, the causes of Middle East strife, and UW.
My Share of the Task; A Memoir - Stanley McChrystal (Kevin Collins) 32Kb (2013)
Wow. Only 2/3 the way through this. Recommended for those interested in leadership, command, and reinventing established organizations. Not to mention those interested in SOF history (and possibly future?).
Portis, Charles - True Grit (Donna Tartt) 64Kb (1968)
What a great story. Donna Tartt does a magnificent job of telling this Western yarn. Highly recommended.
Looking for a copy of Killing Patton - Bill O'Reilly (2014)
