Try his other eighteen books as well, particularly including his riveting memoir of the Pacific War, "Goodbye, Darkness," published by Little, Brown & Company in 1980. Manchester's best-selling Churchill duo--said official Churchill biographer Martin Gilbert--are in fact responsible for bringing millions of contemporary readers to their first understanding of Winston's life. Manchester's "Last Lion: Alone, 1932-40" is now nearing the million sales mark, and at a whopping national average of $56 dollars a copy (new), that's not a bad reward for five years' research and writing. Best of luck. You enjoy William Manchester’s work, you say?

Manchester’s best-selling Churchill duo–said official Churchill biographer Martin Gilbert–are in fact responsible for bringing millions of contemporary readers to their first understanding of Winston’s life. Manchester’s “Last Lion: Alone, 1932-40″ is now nearing the million sales mark, and at a whopping national average of $56 dollars a copy (new), that’s not a bad reward for five years’ research and writing.

Best of luck.

I was under the impression that the new feeds at airports were altered to remove mentions of airplane crashes, hijackings, and I would have assumed plots to blow up airports. Of course, maybe that is just an urban legend. I am surprised you saw anything at the SFO airport about the JFK plot.
