.That's wild, Treadleson, considering what Bob said when accepting the
Tom Paine Award. He was not at his best that night! As you must
surely know, based on your comment (but maybe not everyone does) what
he said while "in his cups" was that he saw something of himself and
of all men in Lee Harvey Oswald.

I didn't make that connection. And I certainly didn't get Brother
Bob's suicide remarks about Oswald in that acceptance speech. On some
level I understand what he meant but it came seemingly out of nowhere
unless he was making a connection between Kennedy's war against Castro
and all the awful hostility in the air between the Prez and Castro and
the Russians and the atomic missiles in Cuba and just all the needless
BS macho posturing at that time including Berlin and Vietnam that all
came crashing down in Dallas and we know that Malcolm said the Kennedy
hit was a case of "the chickens coming home to roost" and that,
"chickens coming home to roost never made me sad. It only made me
glad" and so who knows whether or not Brother Bob was referring to any
of that but he really can't not have been.
.....
I think he was referring to Oswald's character.

Finally I know what he meant. Except what was there about Oswald's
character? A former Marine. Didn't he want open relations with Cuba
or something? But that isn't character.
