I have now bookmarked all my RT+70 posts (I think). So they are listed as links on my profile. The problem is they are in alphabetical order and mixed in with all the other articles I have bookmarked over the years. Maybe there is a way to manipulate the links into related categories.

Hi Homer - Almost all of the 'news reporting' from this era is complete manufactured horse muffins. The 'reporters' were given an assignment to make Peanut Head look as good as possible to justify US support form his 'efforts' - actually his lack of efforts was more correct.
I heartily recommend the book Stilwell and the American Experience in China 1911-1945 by Barbara W. Tuchman for the most accurate rendering of what was really going on during this period.
It gives explanation for a lot of todays political set-up in the China/Taiwan area.
I live here and its on my desk for constant reference. Its also a very well written book that has stood the scrutiny of time in its accuracy.
