By telling a personal story he made his essay powerful. I remember that time vividly, the incident, the discovery of the bodies, the faces of the convicted, Goldwater's speech, my parents Goldwater campaign button, all of it. My parents were shocked by the Goldwater speech and by the many incidents, but they voted for him anyway, he was the Republican. As a vet, my dad loved Ike and so that was that. Perhaps we need to figure out how to get folks like my parents, to think differently. A powerfrul read!
