After a boring conference on my first trip to US in late 80`s, an enthusiastic bookstore clerk in New york engaged me in a conversation, and suggested the book BLOOD AND MONEY. Months later and back home in Norway i noticed that book in my attic one summer while tidying up the house. I took it down and that evening just decided to peruse thru.. little did i know this book will live with me for almost two decades. i`ve always wondered does anyone have a pictures of the writer himself Thomas Thompson! it`s sad that he died while many like me would have demanded more from him! i would love to know about where he lived, which school he went to, his earlier works...i will never forget that afternoon when i bought this book. I know the star ME Milton helpern died too, what happened to other people in that book like Bob Vandiver`s wife, Joan`s friend(the one across the street) Diane Settegast, racehorse(still in practise?) my next trip to US will definitely see me in Houston on that very street.
