Ginny:
Thank you for noting the recent passing of Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary. I was quite saddened by it as well.
Although his father was in the OSS and later a law colleague of the Dulles brothers, Peter’s anti-war commitment was deep. The trio performed at anti-Vietnam war events and Peter campaigned for Gene McCarthy in 1968. He later married McCarthy’s niece.
I met PP&M at a reception after a Phoenix concert early in Bush’s elective Iraq war. As a talk show host, I was visible in Phoenix for my opposition to the war. I don’t know how Peter knew, but he gave me a hug as we talked about my own experiences.
It appeared to me that Peter would have agreed with Murray Rothbard, that war is the most significant issue of our time.
Peter Yarrow, RIP.
