Myself, who have major disabilities but otherwise capable of producing something in society. We have a political problem in this country, not an economic problem. That political problem has created a debt, federal debt, approaching 20 trillion because of the wars primarily. We have a problem in this city with the hospital industry, deciding if they want to throw out the people that are too ill to be taken care of unless its 24hour care and they dont want to pay for that. And this hospital industry is making millions of dollars, though they claim theyre not for profit. As it was told at the last health Board Hearing at this issue, the no, this was in the supervisors chambers. Sutter healthcare has 14 billion in the bank. 44 executives making over 1 million a year. The last i saw, kaiser had 9 billion in the bank and they have milliondollar executives. So they want to kick this problem out to the city and let us take care of it. I worked for the presidio and the army, thats where i start

My choice was to get as close to the action in vietnam as i possibly could. I was writing features about kids from fort worth. It is the single most rewarding thing i ever did in all my years in journalism because this would brighten up their day that someone from their hometown would look them up. My best pictures were not on the periphery of the fighting but were woven through it. The kind of pictures i took showed people waiting for something to happen. I basically tried to block out the emotional side of it in the early years, because i really believe that the journalism of detachment was what war coverage was all about. I was very jingoistic when i got there in the beginning. When i got back, i was convinced the war, whatever our good intentions, simply could not be won.
