Many thanks, Ken. He’s not called The Boss for nothing.

Excellent piece, John. All too apt and timely. Another lyric from Springsteen comes to mind:

Well, we made a promise, we swore we'd always remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend

No retreat, baby, no surrender

An essay that lets the facts speak for the past. Well done and absolutely needed in these times.

Many thanks. The facts do speak pretty loudly.

So worthwhile, John. Thanks for this. Had heard Simon and Garfunkel many times. Heard Springsteen, but not concert version. As usual, what you write we need to read and absorb. Susan Rodin Lewis
