The faces were glum.
Robert Cross saw the journalists from the Washington Post.
For a long time, the Vietnam War dragged on and on and on.
He had read about the Pentagon Papers being published in 1971. It was a stain on the country's attempt to justify itself going to send US soldiers into Asia in the first place. The war dragged until everyone was mad from hunger, death, or worse. Robert was a anti-War protestor. He was in jail for dissent for six months in 1966. That was why he was in college. He got out knowing that America was full of liars.
That was why he kept quiet.
Until Watergate happened.
