    Well...one of the crimes of the century. Hmmm.....sounds like a poll topic.

    A few years later Lucky Lindy's image took a hit in the days leading up to Pearl Harbor.

    Wanna know what's wrong with NASCAR? They've gone from Junior Johnson to Jimmie Johnson.

    Wanna know what's wrong with IndyCar? It's gone from dirt ovals to street races.

    The crime was used in a movie, "Murder on the Orient Express." I do not know if Agatha Christie used it in her book.

    Heh, me too! A sad crime, but I think D.B. Cooper takes the cake because he got away.

    Thus far the crime of THIS century is 9/11. And it may just stand as that for a long, long time.

    It was actually the Lindbergh baby. But I can't claim to be too smart on this as I thought it was Lindberg.
    Some people will do nearly anything in order to be able to not do anything.

    I just happened to watch a 1983 performance of that song Saturday night on YouTube. Can't believe it's been 26 years since I saw them.

    Ah, the memories of those care-free days.....

    There have been a lot of successful kidnappings. But, the object is not money. It is usually a dispute between husband and wife on custody of the child.
