I'll look for Herr's Dispatches. Sounds interesting. You're
dead on about Kent Anderson. His NIGHT DOGS was a great read.
The main character, a cop, was coming to grips with his war
experiences. I haven't read KA's SYMPATHY yet (I wonder if
he's spoofing the Stones?). Thanks for the suggestion,
Mark.
