Bob Early remembers Don Bolles

We took Monkey Girl to Phoenix today to interview Bob Early. It was a very interesting interview. Bob is a big man with a warm handshake. He knew Don Bolles (MG's current documentary subject) very well. He had great stories and loved to laugh.

It was shocking to hear how much the American Press has abdicated their democratic responsibility. In the 1970's, the Arizona Republic was a haven for investigative reporters, now it is just ghost of what it was.

It is strange to hear about the 1970's. I remember it as such an optimistic time. It seemed like it changed mid-70's. Hearing about it changing in 1976 from another source was a jolt.
