== Franklin == 

 I'm a student, albeit a 51 year old student, and I am looking forward, with eager anticipation, to learning from Prof Franklin about the political impetus surrounding and informing the Vietnam War.  It amazes me how much stupidity, yes . . . stupidity . . . surrounds allegedly intellectual discourse. . . . As far as Stalin and misinformed adherents go, disavow Neruda while you're at it.  You're all a bunch of idiots.
