They also did that for the last episode of "Leave It to Beaver" in 1963. Ward and June and the boys go through a family photo album recalling incidents from the boys' childhood. Not only was it boring, but it didn't make sense, because no one was on hand taking pictures when those incidents occurred.

At the time of her rescue, she felt less than human, having been taught by the Nazis that Jews were vermin. She was emaciated and filthy and covered in lice when Kurt Klein held out his hand to help her into his Jeep, treating her like a lady. She thought she had to be honest with him, so she said, "I am a Jew."

He said, "So am I."

My dad was a WWII veteran, and I remember he was furious in the '70s when there was a news story about a VFW post (I can't remember where it was located) that turned away a Black veteran, telling him there were posts for people "on his side of town" -- or words to that effect. Dad wanted that post shut down.

*Twenty years* after the Tuskegee airmen came home, Colin Powell did *two* tours of duty in Vietnam. When he returned to the States and tried to order a hamburger at a restaurant in the South, he was advised to go to the take-out window around back.

The main problem is that there is a sharp learning curve for surgeons who are transitioning from open to robot-assisted surgery. Any hospital with an extra million bucks can buy a robot, but the surgeon has to be competent, and that takes a lot of practice. That's why simulation is critical to training before the surgeon operates on the first patient.

That being said, my husband's prostatectomy and my second knee replacement were done robotically. My recovery for the knee replacement was superior to my first surgery, and I went home the same day. My husband was in the hospital only one night.
