Now that is according to Naftali's response to Holland, curiously it is listed below Holland's response back to Naftali on the HNN site. And clearly all that flows forward follows from whatever happened at the Miller Center. That "painful falling out" is at the heart of the matter, let's find out what happened there and perhaps we can write a bureaucratic history on the perils of burning bridges in higher academia. Naftali's books on Krushchev and the Missile Crisis are brilliant, Holland's LBJ was great and forthcoming on Warren Commission is eagerly awaited. I don't have a pony in this show, but I have enjoyed it.
