usa was even worse back then ....nazi loyalst lindberg was a national hero.
fdr was not aggressive in saving the jews but the isolationism he faced was so great that
there was the baseless theory that he allowed pearl harbor because there was no other way to get the usa into the war.....we stink.
dontcha know who the usa isolationists and german sympathizers were. ....thats right.
we needed russia unfortunately.......they helped defeat hitler...lost i think 50 million.
fdr died before the cold war.

good history requires balance.

also in addition to a strong opposition party and a populace with way too many racists....isolationists and xenophobes
dont forget that the country was recovering from 1929 - the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.
beware of " historians " that start with a thesis and then cherry pick facts...leave out context.......distort events.......project hypothesis and motives
look for baseless agendas and insist without basis that leaders possess naivete.....

gigo.

we have us a schism here

(BTW, Charles Lindbergh, not a particular post-aviation hero of mine, was also a U.S. government spy into the nasty doings of Nazi Germany. That was another humanist thought experiment, based upon insane Nietzsche, malcontent Shopenhauer, etc. Insolence is never going to turn out well.)

insolence always entertains

lindbergh was a staunch public nazi sympathizer.
i am always proud to be considered a humanist and not a bullshitter.

he blamed jews...dems and intellectuals for wanting to get the united states into ww2 and remained to the end of ww2 against armed conflict with germany.
thats right.....he was only against japan.

anti semetic racist white supremacist motivated nazi scumbag....a bum !

Donadieu’s Will (1937) by Georges Simenon. Atypical novel for the author, less a crime story than a family saga about greed and surviving. Pretty good, though much slower moving than the usual Simenon fare.

Three Bedrooms in Manhattan (1946) by Georges Simenon. Another slightly atypical one, no crime at all here. Sort of a Lost Weekend meets Edward Hopper’s "Nighthawks" vibe. Well-written but the two main characters were a bit ridiculous with their overwrought behavior.

Ball Four (1970; 2014 edition) by Jim Bouton. Re-read after 25 or so years. Still excellent, funny lines on every page. Difficult to compare to James' Historical Abstract, Kahn's Boys of Summer or Ritter's Glory of Their Times, but I'd say it belongs with those titles on a Mount Rushmore of baseball books. The updates (from 1980, 1990, 2000, 2014) were okay, especially reading about what some of the characters have been up to and Bouton patching things up with Mickey Mantle and being invited back to Yankee Stadium, but there was too much on Bouton's personal life (business dealings, divorce, finding new love, and a tragedy involving his daughter).

By the way, this June marks the 50th anniversary of Ball Four's publication. Someone's got to put together a theme league. Did you know Joe "Shitfuck" Schultz has a terrific pinch hitting season from 1946? .386/.485/.456 in 73 PA.

Reading The Curve by Barry Zito. Pretty good so far.
