2 books of potential interest...
Hello, I was in Bookstop a while ago and noticed two books that could be of potential interest. The first I didn't buy, "We were soldiers once....and young", about the Ia Drang valley incident in Nov. of 65 (I had stated it was in '64 in the discussion about "The Best and Brightest"). It is written from notes and interviews with the survivors apparently. For those who are interested in the issues that were involved in the Vietnam War it may be of some use. The Law Enforcement Handbook D. Rowland, J. Bailey ISBN 1-56619-471-7 $6.98 (in the cheap books section) Looks to discuss a majority of police proceedures and details the items of interest to police officers in performing their duty. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Let me recommend: "Eat the Rich" by PJ O'rourke. Humorous introduction to meaning of money, generation of wealth, laissez-fair, and his experiences in Cuba, Sweden, Albania, Tanzania learning about these. An easy read, possibly of interest for neophytes interested in why we have no ecash (or quantized bananas). (Neither are answered).
