54. Father? Yes, son?

I understand that Adm. Morrison and his family stood by their son and his art -- and political philosophy of peace and prosperity for all. They are people who believe in Democracy. Perhaps the senior Morrison came to see that he had been used by those who wanted war in Vietnam.
