Mods
What are the rules for posting in LBN and what forum it is morphed to?

9. For this reason I believe this should not be in the Lounge
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4707576.stm

"A Harvard graduate, raised in New York City, he was once a speechwriter for President Lyndon B Johnson.

LOL he was one of those "liberal writers"

RIP Peter... :cry:
