David Talbot
“That little Kennedy... he thought he was a god.”
David Talbot, The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government

“All those dumb spooky movies like Friday the 13th, they all start in a house or a forest, or an abandoned cabin, or whatever, so you end up thinking you have to be scared of them. But you don’t. Not really. That whispering voice is never in the woods.

- S. E. Tolsen, Bunny”
S. E. Tolsen
