“I'll compensate you to the tune of one hundred thousand bones or clams or whatever you call them.” ☺️

This Administration continues their consistently terrible actions with such eagerness. But his voters wanted this mess.

A few photos from Kitty Slater's 1967 book "The Hunt Country of America"; Sports Illustrated (when Whitney Tower was an influential writer - and relative to Liz) did an in-depth piece on Liz Lunn & Llangollen: June 6, 1958. vault.si.com/vault/1958/0...

Next door (adjacent by 100s of acres) is the rather infamous Mt Weather facility - a once top secret facility.

Katharine Graham must be rolling in her grave to see what she fought against - now surrendering to and giving vocal support for.

Kubrick’s The Killing! 🎯
