>Thank yous, please, to Lolly and her able ally Claire, for formatting and uploading the Clara Breed article I referenced the other day. Here it is. Some of Breed's opinions, such as her implicit (or perhaps cagey) acceptance of the necessity for removal of Japanese-Americans from California for the duration of the war, look complacent in hindsight, but her account is both eye-witnessing and timely--let's pray it isn't prescient.

>Indeed, yes, hope and pray most fervently. It can happen again so easily today among us; it's scary to think how easily it happened back then. Thanks very, much, again for bringing this lady and her work to my attention. Wow! That's all I can say, wow!
