Ghost Troop Home Page April Fools Part 3
Hey, Barb, don’t sweat it about the pending investigations. I’m giving you orders here: You are to read and advise me on any area of the attached report that you wish. I am also instructing you not to publish any of it without my permission, and not to identify me without permission. You see, now you must obey your purest journalistic ethics and show responsible protection for your source. Presto! Off the hook no matter what happens!
Frankly, I don’t think the Pulitzer people will know
which prizes to give the book. I’m
betting multiple, and I’m brazen enough to say I deserve it. After all, I’ve put my life on the line to
tell the truth about what happened to the First Amendment in
I always did have a sweet spot for you, Miss Phillips. I hope some day I’ll be coming north or you’ll be coming south. Enjoy the excerpts. And hey, tell me how you like the writing. Take your whacks at the essays and the letters, but take it easy on my poetry. You ho-hummed my sonnets once. Didn’t you know that I was trying to make you fall in love with me, ma’am? Next time I’ll try free verse.
Captain May
(Yep, I’m using my Army MI rank as a nom de guerre and a nom de plume at the same time. Original, huh?)
PS: I’m attaching it as a file so that you can access it two ways. If there’s anyone you owe a favor, go ahead and let them have a peek, or a copy. I don’t want this to be any messier than it has to be. I’ve already alerted the Army and NASA, two organizations I’m close to, and my best man, Chase Untermeyer, is following up on his promises. (He was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Reagan/Bush, and he’s the queen on my chessboard, one of many pieces.) Again, don’t sweat it, darling’. Captain May sez it’s gonna be OK. Just don’t do anything journalistic, ‘cause that would be a violation of ethics, since I’ve ordered you to wait.
