Senator, bloor, anyone?
Reading Fear & Loathing on the campaign trail.
He mentions a Tallahassee newspaper reporter who went to Canada in 67 to avoid the draft-and returned to find that he was no longer a citizen of the us, and had 90 days to leave the country.
Do you know anything about this? Or where i can find details.
Also did they ever find out what happened to Acosta?
Leave it up to a brit to dig out one of the few things I DON'T know about that book. I am sure that it is probably a bit of the Ol' Thompson hyperbole...I need to dig that one out, I like to read it during every campaign, because I gain more respect for him, and more knowledge about what it is we really do.
