I was moving through my adolescent years while the Vietnam War raged, and graduated high school in 1976, after it had ended.

We'd fill every seat and every available foot of floor space, and laughed together while watching The Jackie Gleason Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Sonny and Cher. Other times we would play Monopoly, Life or Pinocle, a family favorite. But always, at the top of our itinerary, was the Evening News with Walter Cronkite.

Carol J. Williams, the Caribbean bureau chief for the LA Times, was ordered out of Guantanamo on Wednesday following the suicide of 3 prisoners.

My only complaint is it should have been above the fold on page 1.
