The letter, like the 350 other personal draft pleas that arrive each month at the White House, went to selective-service headquarters in Washington, then to California draft authorities. Hearing no word from anyone, Gary Wilson glumly packed his bags on Jan. 31, planned a farewell party, and prepared to report at 7:30 a.m. the next day to the Los Angeles induction center. But with nice nick-of-timing, the draft board phoned at 5:30 p.m. Gary William Wilson had been granted a IS(c) rating until June...
