We drove up to a neatly trimmed golf course cul-de-sac where every modest house had a American flag hanging from it, in the exact same spot, next to the garage. I was early and waiting next to the car with Hal Goodtree, the publisher of the CC. Out of an open garage came Koka Booth waving us in. We shook hands and he told us with a wink that we needed to get in the house quickly because “Blanche will fuss at me for letting you in the garage”.
