SUBJECT: The History Group will meet on the first Tuesday, March 7, 2017 to
discuss 'The General vs. the President' MacArthur and Truman at the Brink of
Nuclear War'
Last Tuesday the History Group reviewed 'Slaves in the Family' which was
generally liked although some elected not to read it because of the negative
subject matter.
In view of today's Presidential Hi-Jinks our selection for March seems
appropriate.
