and there was always a smoky group around a table in that place and they sounded exactly the same when their theorizing had turned most people off 15 years earlier.

I just got my books and left. I neither commented nor joined in. As long as they were nitpicking each other over minutiae, they weren't a threat to anyone, especially Democrats.

I just remember trying to explain what the rest of the country was like to them in the late 60s, early 70s. They all considered themselves such superior leaders that of course all the people in the country would slap themselves on the forehead and simply follow them. Ha.
