all in all, an enjoyable life was had by so many for so long.
but ya know even forever doesn't last forever. there as painting
artwork, music flourished, the ss was foiled again and again,
by burt lancaster types, the resistances fought back. i visited
there in 1967 on a seven month tour of europe with my la unified
school district parents. i an only child, stayed close much of
the time, but did wander and almost get totally exterminated
in the europe of that period. luckily i would invariably run across
a sympathetic person, although i always spoke the language
of the country we were in. all over we went. poor germany so
barely recovering at all. ireland so decimated and stricken.
france doing rather well. england teetering. i saw the queen
and king faisal ride through hyde park, no more than ten paces
away from me in their carriage, while liz tried to wheedle oil
out of faisal during the arab-israeli conflict war of that period.
mick jagger was under house arrest.
