Next time I'm in our neck of the woods, we'll share a nice bottle of Gran Reserve 904 Rioja. And after that a bottle of Gran Reserva 890. Then a bottle of Prado.
And after that we'll settle down and really start supping.:beer:
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14

Mr. Drago, I am up to my neck now in this book. I finished the sixth essay this afternoon while waiting in hospital waiting rooms (no need for any concern). I will say the following while I look forward to finishing the book:
1) I am now more clear about your reverence for the author, not that I doubted it or misperceived it. The depth of Evica's research, perseverance and analysis are stunning. His language or writing is superb, if slightly but perhaps understandably and necessarily guarded, like a sheathed sword or perhaps a woodworker's adze. Yours is sharper, like an unsheathed sword. Both are vitally needed.
2) Most impressive (so far) is t he sixth essay. For me, it was like adding bluing to a wash-load of 60 years of history. Suddenly everything seems more clear and understandable.
I am deeply humbled and deeply impressed by both of you. 
Thank you both, and thanks to Kris Millegan for his efforts.
It sets a standard for the rest of us.

Ed,
As always, your kindness is deeply appreciated.
Let me be clear: A Certain Arrogance is George Michael's work. Without a hint of false modesty I tell you that my Introduction is of minor account; its absence would not detract in the slightest from the larger offering.
I echo your appreciation of Kris Milligan and his good offices.
And once again I publicly thank David Guyatt for directing me to Kris and Trine Day.
David, if you still read this humble blog, please know that I think of you always with gratitude and respect.
If all will take note: Ed is describing the Trine Day ediction of ACA. The original, self-published Xlibris iteration is lengthier in terms of both its text and references. Alas, it is horrendously edited -- at points even butchered.
For those in a position to do so, buy both. If one must suffice, go unhesitatingly to Trine Day.
George Michael is -- not was, but is -- a miracle.
With gratitude and affection,
Charles

I am advised by Amazon that the TrineDay edition with your introduction arrives this week.
Climbing the rope trick of the event, event promoters and managers and roustabouts, I sense this will provide the best footing yet.
It was dawning on me that there was a circus Dulles Brothers running the world nicely, thank you, interrupted briefly by that Kennedy.
I enjoyed Robert Gates advising the inquiring Patrick Leahy that, "Senator, governments lie to each other; that's how business gets done."
I look forward to the continuing exposition by George Michael Evica and you in the high calling of explaining to the people "how business gets done."

To borrow a phrase from a movie, "That is what I understood."
And I will buy the Xlibris edition. The extra notations will be interesting.

The book has a prominent place on my book shelf of JFK literature!!! A very good and important book - on aspects and with viewpoints that are unique in the literature.
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws. - Mayer Rothschild
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience! People are obedient in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war, and cruelty. Our problem is that grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem!" - Howard Zinn
"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will" - Frederick Douglass

CD what did you redo with the intro? Is it possible you could put it on here. Nothing beats a good eulogy. Genuinely fascinating subject matter in this one from GME!

I just got my copy and will write a review as soon as catch up.
It's a very important and overlooked book that details some of the most significant but ignored areas, some of which still need to be researched further.

Looking forward to your insights, Bill.
Are you working from the Trine Day or the Xlibris edition?
If you have questions you think I might be able to answer, don't hesitate to be in touch via PM.
