A child leads the way

From Rick Perlstein's forthcoming book on Nixon (Digby has an excerpt):

A little Mormon boy in Utah, Timmy Poppleton, wrote his senator begging him to intervene: "I'm only eight years old, but I know that Lieut. Calley was defending our freedoms against Communism." His mother--many mothers--had explained that the villagers of My Lai must have done something to deserve it.


My inner Frenchman read Perlstein's book on Goldwater. He says it was incredible.
