Excerpt: "For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president’s men. If convicted, they’ll have plenty of time to mull over their sins." War historian Martin van Creveld is the only non-U.S. author whose writings are obligatory reading by America's Officer Corps."

Man looks to make amends for childhood incident that's haunted him for 86 years

For 86 years, Dr. Joseph Linsk has been anguished by a secret involving a regrettable incident from his childhood.

Linsk, 94, who has Parkinson's disease, is now appealing for help to make amends after all these years.

With the help of his children on Thanksgiving, the doctor from Atlantic City, New Jersey, recorded his story on an app for StoryCorps, a national project devoted to sharing and preserving audio of people's stories.

When Linsk was 8 years old growing up in Atlantic City, he accidentally broke the glasses of a classmate in the schoolyard. The boy was going to tell his father unless Linsk came up with the $2 to have them fixed.

Dr. Joseph Linsk of Atlantic City, New Jersey, has held on to a secret for more than 80 years.

"We had a cleaning lady by the name of Pearl, a black woman. And I knew that every week, she'd get $2 for her services," he says on the Storycorps audio. "On this particular day, I was so terrified, I took the $2, and took it to the teacher and settled the problem of the broken glasses."

That problem then metastasized into several bigger problems.

"When Pearl finished her day's work, she went for the $2 and they weren't there,'' Linsk said. "And my mother said there was no question that Pearl took the $2 and didn't admit it. And my mother was so angry that she told Pearl not to come back anymore."

Linsk also claimed that word got around town that Pearl was a thief, making it hard to find work to support her children.

"I kept that secret to the age of 94, which is hard to believe, but the event never left me,'' he said.

Linsk could not remember Pearl's last name, but was hoping someone could help locate her family after hearing the story.

"I guess it ate him up forever,'' daughter Cathy Linsk, 61, told TODAY. "We joked with him that no wonder you gave away so much money over the years with all that guilt."

Linsk was raised by his mother and his uncle after his father died when he was an infant.

"His mother was always working in Philadelphia, so that $2 was like $100," Cathy said. "When I think about poor Pearl, I just get so annoyed."

He told his children about it a few years ago and also wrote a play involving the story. Waiting until he is 94 raises the question of why he didn't talk about it sooner.

"The story has two sides to it in that it's charming in a way that he's remembering this and wants to make up for it, but what a horrible story to remember,'' Cathy said.

A private investigator in Washington, D.C., has already called about conducting the search for free, and others have reached out to help.

"We've been getting calls from people we haven't heard from in years,'' Cathy said. "He's just trying to get it off his chest, and who knows, maybe somebody who remembers him from back then can help find her family."
