I don't have a copy yet, and will do this again. I simply wish others to know it is a tremendous in your face about racism and made a first in the oscar awards. I am truly grateful to have seen this in the theatre and also to have watched the Academy Awards for that season. Will order my copy and re visit here for another chance at sharing my takes on the movie.

One of the joys of my age is the ability to recall many historic times that were televised of or columns written and viewpoints drawn influenced by the former. I am now re watching the Right Stuff, glad that Thom Wolfe is the one who tackled the room full of steps forward and then backward and doing them again after adjusting a step to the right and changing to vary the results wanted. I have the freedom to ponder the whole story and relish the different contributions of the teller and the researchers .. and begin to draw my own opinions,.. not always close to the truth, but darn what a ride... I wish i could personally thank Mr. Wolfe for his magnificent volume of candor, bitterness, shouting at fate as the ravigages of health gone awry determines his time to give his voice to his volumes of real honest STUFF we have to enjoy and learn and grow from. God smiled on us when He created Thom Wolfe. And I am grateful!
