Things to Know - 5 March

I normally send out several links.  Today, I am busy with things that won't allow much computer time.  So, this may be it.  I usually read many articles and cull through them to figure out what is interesting and, at the same time, concise, and not too long (which would lose your attention).  However, in starting to read this one, I was naturally intrigued by what Tricky Dicky did as our President.  In this article, Nixon is revealed to be more like Treasonous Dick.  It is engrossing, and disturbing.  The Vietnam war probably could have ended many years sooner than it did.  All those events changed and ended the lives of many people (millions). This one you must read:
