Hunter Thompson Articles...

1. Love Blooms in the Rockies... is a funny bit where Hunter gets irked at the blizzard last month after he gets separated from his fiancee, Anita. Here's a bit: "The war was ugly enough, but that was only the start. The Horrible blizzard that shut down most of Colorado for four days and nights was far worse news for me than the war. It destroyed our annual high-risk orgy of gambling and raving that has become a tradition out here..."

2. Love in a Time of War is his most recent article. Here are two excerpts: "This has been a spectacular tournament so far, with a true abundance of wild and shocking games, right from the start. Barn-burners, many overtimes and many desperately close games and staggering, ruinous defeats, most of them tragic in nature."

And the other: "Indeed, we are truly the sqanderers of what was once the American Dream, and our own dreams, for that matter. In two disastrous years, this Waterhead son of Texas has taken this country from a prosperous nation at peace to a dead-broke nation at War, and that is a very long fall."
