Barry Zorthian, who died last month at the age of 90, was one of the last surviving government officials who shaped American role in the Vietnam War, a man who also stood at the shadowy intersection between press management and psychological warfare.

Fwiw, I saw Henry Kissinger on Charlie Rose's show last night in the context of his PRC contact during the Nixon admin-how old is that war criminal anyway-just look at some of Kissinger Associates "contributions" to the world like Bush/Cheney Iraq Procounsel J. Paul Bremer...

Spin, spin, spin away!!!!

1. Gooood Morning Viet Nam !!

"At Yale, Zorthian first practiced journalism – along with the art of schmoozing the rich and powerful. He was editor of The Yale Daily News and became a member of the secret campus society, Skull and Bones, a controversial fraternity whose members included both Presidents Bush and other American powerbrokers."



This about covers it.
