A journal of memories, impressions, ideas and mistakes.

Oh - more politics. Weird politics. Republican politics from 1963. Some brochure consisting of clips from various midwestern or farm publications hailing Congressman Paul Findley (R-IL)'s "Fight for Freedom in Agriculture." Apparently, he is credited with almost one-handedly defeating Kennedy's farm bill. Looking at it today, I have no idea (a) what it means or (b) why I have it. The brochure calls it "Mr. Kennedy's worst domestic political defeat." There is a column clipped from The Prairie Farmer entitled "Washington as it looks from here" written by one Jim Thompson. The future governor of Illinois? That Jim Thompson?
