- I'm told that when I was a wee lad of five or six (circa 1968), I used to
- have the habit of saying "Nixon is sneaky and bad" whenever the Jowl-ed One

- skeptical. Needless to say, my parents were very proud.

- My first political memory is of a TIME magazine issue lying on the end-table
- in our apartment on East 69th Street in Manhattan. It was the one with cover
- story of Robert Kennedy's assassination. I remember opening up the magazine
- and looking at the nice color diagram of Kennedy's head, with lines and
- arrows showing where the bullets went.
