"J. Edgar Hoover is to be found at the far part of the Cub Room with his aide, Clyde Tolson."

Why do people go to nightclubs?... in The Year that Blog Forgot: 1945.

But there was still war going on, and here's the way the headlines looked this day in 1945.

Or you go to the nightclub in a suit and tie and then go home and put on the dress. Just don't let Frank Costello get a copy of the picture.; 5/21/08, 10:35 AM

I also like to have drinkies which make me drunkey and happy and horny.

I also have the hope of meeting the man of my dreams (for 15 minutes). And if I don't attain that I goal I am depressed and hate myself.

Other than that it is a blast.; 5/21/08, 10:45 AM

There's nothing like defeating the enemy for settling a disagreement peacefully.; 5/21/08, 12:48 PM

And that's exactly how Mary looked.
