Larry Dorshkind is a retired architect. One of his projects was "Renovation of Infectious Diseases Laboratory" for the State of California's Department of Health. Another project was to design the nation's first purpose-designed Electron Microscope Laboratory for UC Santa Cruz. While in college, Larry served in the US Submarine Reserve where he earned his dolphins as a qualified submariner. Upon graduation, he served as an officer on an amphibious cargo ship where he came within a whiskers throw of participating in an amphibious invasion to start the Vietnam War in earnest (beyond action by "Military Advisors"). The operation was called off, but the War explosively expanded shortly thereafter. And the rest, as they say, is history, and that history is war after war. Larry's current concerns are the war against the planet and wars against other peoples. Pretty soon, though, there will be no need for concern, for a nuclear winter will eliminate the war-makers (and, at the same time, eliminate all of us too).
