...work and hope the job will last, but I'm getting squeezed. The middle people, they're being told by the poor that they have to put up houses for them, they're being told by the rich that they have to support this program to build houses for the poor.

No problem with the book. Montgomery unhesitatingly chose his own History of Warfare, emphasizing that its most valuable passages deal with "how we could stop people fighting." That question is now foremost in his mind. Asked to choose his favorite disc, the old soldier could not decide between The Battle Hymn of the Republic and Oh, For the Wings of a Dove...
