For any person graduating from college in 1970, one issue loomed enormously large and unavoidable -- the draft and Vietnam. But Lescroart's biography does not say how he avoided the draft and the war (both things which would have provided experiences invaluable to a future author). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.147.74 ( talk) 23:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC) reply

By the time he graduated from Berkeley in 1970, the Draft lottery had started. If he wasn't safe from the draft for some other reason, he may have just had a high number.-- Hjal ( talk) 08:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC) reply

I have been in communications with the author and requested that I be able to use some of the content from his web site to add depth to this page. At his approval, I will be adding small amounts of information to strengthen this page. Ekotkie 20:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC) reply

This page reads like it was written by the author himself. It could use a serious NPOV and a few citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.192.204 ( talk) 11:58, 28 May 2009 (UTC) reply
