Anyhow, Happy Caturday!

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Newman actively opposed the Vietnam War, earning him a spot on Nixon’s “enemies list,” which he called the greatest “honor” of his life. He was also a strong proponent of ending the nuclear arms race. In 1978, President Carter appointed him as a U.N. delegate to a session on nuclear disarmament. /3
