I always like your ties between the present and the history that informs it. This is even fun to read while nailing the dangers of the way our governor, among many other governors and state officials, are grabbing the levers of power to suppress democracy. One has to wonder how Landry is looking at Trump's current twisting and turning with discomfort.

Another great article. Thank you. I appreciate learning about the history of Louisiana. It is comforting to read about the past travesties and how justice was ultimately delivered. I look forward to your next book.

How about just abolishing the "ethics" board? It serves no purpose other than to raise money for political welfare and warfare. I agree with Mr. Forrest. thanks

I wouldn’t say they support Landry.

The Republican mantra is always “trust me!” In practice it’s the old saw of “don’t do as I do but as I say.”

I’m looking forward to your next book, Bob—how timely.
