Subject: 30th anniversary of My Lai
I wrote recently about the 30th anniversary of My Lai event that David
Anderson at Univ. of Indianapolis is putting together on Monday March 16,
that it would include Ron Ridenhour, Wiliam Eckhardt (chief prosecutor
of the My Lai cases) and Tim O'Brien. I also wrote that there was talk
of bringing M. Scott Peck and Jonathan Schell. At that time neither of
these last had confirmed.
I write now to say that Jonathan Schell has confirmed.
David's email is Andersondh@aol.com or anderson@uindy.edu.
