Richard McKenna was a Chief Petty Officer in the US Navy, depression rhrough the end of WWII. He later wrote "The Sand Pebbles", basis for movie of same title. "The Left handed Monkey Wrench" is a collection of his short stories and essays. one short story agree with Josephus Daniels being Secretary of Navy when alcohol abolished aboard ships. It also states his policies had some good changes, and some negative ones. Make me think of Chief Of Naval Operations Elmos Zumawalt in early 1970's. Wfoj2 23:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
