Gordon Liddy was going to be at Howard University signing copies of the paperback version of his classic pulp non-fiction autobio "Will." Come the date, I dutifully bought said tome at the HU bookstore (in a then dodgy area of the District) and stood for a somewhat lengthy line for my moment with this cynosure of Waterate. When I presented my copy for his signature, I asked him to represent. "Write something clever," I implored. Liddy pondered this request for a moment, scribbled quickly, and responded, "This isn't clever...but it's important." I took my copy outside and eagerly examined what he had written. "To Pete," it said: "Stay Strong. G. Gordon Liddy." I have never wavered from this advice. -PetePetehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16556829769159728771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1703216720277468682.post-54323619882866775532008-03-04T22:45:00.000-05:002008-03-04T22:45:00.000-05:00Quam fluctus indeed.<BR/><BR/>Exitus Acta Probat, my friend.Paradox13VAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17312723440243377126noreply@blogger.com
