of mine for almost forty years, and politics an obsession since the 1960s. To me, history has to have a purpose, to tell truth, to point direction, to provoke thought. It has to tell a story.
I’m especially drawn to neglected topics like the Gilded Age,
the post-World War I Red Scare, or old ocean divers — blind
spots in our collective memory that point to raw nerves.
When not writing, I practice law in Washington, D.C. Before that, I held a sting of political spots on Capitol Hill (staff counsel to two different US Senate Committees) and in two Administrations (Bill Clinton's and Ronald Reagan's, an R and a D), and at a regulatory agency called the CFTC.
But enough about me. Hope you enjoy the Blog. Humor me on the attitude. –KenA
