A HAL BOYLE column satirically catalogues unachieved dreams and strange experiences. The writer jokes about late-life ambitions and odd incidents such as meeting a two headed girl and being held for ransom by Sicilian bandits, among others.
A stream of eclectic, nonspecific vignettes mentions bleeds from transfusion, dinner invitations by a banker, stealing livestock, killing an elephant for tusks, marrying for money, canoe love, and odd literary tastes. It culminates in a humorous, surreal catalog of actions and misadventures without a clear narrative.
A collage of quirky lines questions bravery and memory. The voice muses on courage in conflict, a mystery guest on a show, medical or psychological aid, and the odd whimsy of encounters with a purple cow or flying saucer. It ends with a blunt meditation on how we spend our lives.
Highlights include Truman's 1945 surrender announcement, the 1965 Liberty Tree dedication, Oregon Territory creation in 1848, Jeffries over Corbett in 1903, and the Atlantic Charter signing in 1941. Dulles Berlin talks in 1956 and Watts riots in 1965-66 also noted.
