Retama Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yeah, I remember the Lockshins. Wondered whatever happened to them, thanks for this. I knew too many "true believers" of this stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookrat Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Don't remember the individuals or the story but that was a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmsry Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Interesting to read the Chron's take on this story. Most people have forgotten the Chron once was a conservative newpaper; when the Post went under, it became the new liberal read in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have forgotten the Chron once was a conservative newpaper; when the Post went under, it became the new liberal read in town.However, in the 80s, the Post would run ads for guns and the Chronicle forbid it. I tried defecting to Russia recently and they just called me a "tourist". Kind of a buzz-kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Great article. I had completely forgotten about the incident. I never knew them but knew someone that did. Lockshin was apparently a real nut job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilioScotia Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Interesting to read the Chron's take on this story. Most people have forgotten the Chron once was a conservative newpaper; when the Post went under, it became the new liberal read in town.I'm interested by your "take" on the Chron's "take". You seem to be saying that only a conservative newspaper would express disapproval of an American who decides he would rather live under a communist dictatorship. (?) That sort of implies that you think a liberal newspaper would think it was just peachy. As I recall, both our newspapers of that day -- the Chron and the Post -- had low opinions of Dr. Lockshin.Speaking just for me, I agree with the Chron's editorial writer who said, "If Arnold Lockshin prefers Moscow to Houston, we are pleased that he is in Moscow." I confess to being surprised to know he stayed there, even after the Soviet Union collapsed, and that his now adult children still live there. Oh well. They're free to come and go now, and if they're happy I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northbeaumont Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah, I remember the Lockshins. Wondered whatever happened to them, thanks for this. I knew too many "true believers" of this stripe.Well, you've heard that doctor's want to get away from malpractice lawsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittysmith Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Children Possibly Found on NetI've been wondering what became of this family and was always curious about why I never read a follow-up on them; thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
