An opportunity to get a feel for what was going on in washington, d. C. Where i work. Miked hayden, former National Security director, talking about the face of terrorism and its threat. It is called playing for the edge about his time at the cia. Same venue. Mostly history. Lincolns boys caught my attention and read it this summer. It is the story of john hay and john nick lay, two individuals the president met before being president in illinois. They came with him and it is the story of two young men working in the Lincoln Administration during the civil war and what happened afterwards in their life. I like to read history.
