My father would have turned 80 on Sunday. So the timing of this piece @thebafflermag is very apt. In the 1960s he served on a U.S. military "listening post" in the Horn of Africa. Here Dad is, riding his Matchless moto on the road to Asmara.

"Listening Devices: Reunited with the Cold War Spies of Kagnew Station."

I wrote about my father, my relationship to the Horn of Africa, and our country's intelligence efforts in the region for The Baffler No. 77, now in print.
