"Once again it was Bill Carter who came to my rescue...First he had assured the Canadian court when he posted my bond that I had a medical problem and that I needed to be cured of my heroin addiction. He made the same case to his contacts in the White House, where Jimmy Carter was president, using all the muscle he could work, talking to one counsel there who was Carter's drug policy man, fortunately charged, at the time, with finding solutions more effective than punishment...Miraculously, his White House contacts instructed Immigration to grant me a visa, and he got permission from the Canadian court for me to fly to the United States. We were allowed to rent a house in Philadelphia, where Meg Patterson would treat me every day for three weeks...And I've always been very grateful to the US Government for allowing me to come to America to get help to come off the stuff."

Peace is silent
As a P.O.W. from the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, Kurt Vonnegut, who died April 11, 2007 from a head injury, survived the the fire bombing of Dresden, Germany, which killed more people than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
He was born on Nov. 11, 1922 and mentioned in “Breakfast of Champions” that Nov. 11 used to be called Armistice Day, when the people from each of the 32 nations that fought in World War I would be silent on the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month each year because in that minute in 1918: “millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another.”
He added that the World War I vets he talked to said in different ways that the silence of that moment “was the voice of God.”
