Assassination and a number of president s were already assassinated, why wouldnt the government have protections from him . There were pensions for army officers, everybody else but no pension for president s. In fact he had very little money. He had to borrow some money secretly, which dean addison cosigned. To pay for the move back home. This is not wellknown and doesnt mean he didnt have any money. He did have money but you need cash to cover all the expenses of moving out of the white house. And when he got home in order to provide himself some income he undertook the writing of his autobiography, it is memoirs which no other president had ever done except for Herbert Hoover but hoovers time in office was much briefer than trumans and trumans presidency covered far more tumultuous history and hoovers had so to undertake the 2 volume memoir was a very major ambitious task.

In 1973 i saw him first, across a loud, profane, filthy newsroom in downtown raleigh. He was right out of school. I was still in school. I looked across at a city summit, who is that . Thats david zucchino. Is going to be the new star here. He had long, dark hair, over his shoulders, sick, jet black mustache. It was a long time ago.

So much of raising children these days seems to be about what we do not want them to do, keeping them away from dangers, real in virtual, no doubt this is a feature, perhaps a bug of her helicopter and age and i think this attitude fails to promote a sense of independence and kids. Not only do they not know how to walk down the street by themselves but they are also pretty much incapable of entertaining themselves at least without a device in hand. So for reasons both selfish, parents need a break and selfless, we know this is an important life skill for them, i think the Current Situation is pretty untenable.
