Could one say that M & D will approach the American Civil War (presumably 
one of it's major themes) like GR approaches say Vietnam, namely 
indirectly.  And maybe M & D will be a direct explication of the "how did 
we go so wrong when all the elements were here for diversity".  he's 
tackled the present, the near past, post-war, pre-WW1, post ww1.  M % D 
to end it at the beginning?

P.S.  Anybody ever see the documentary, "He Conquers Space", a 
lovey-dovey account of goold ole Wernher and his rocket program.  Pretty 
scary stuff.  The stuff I was raised on.  cough cough cough



Merry weekend everybody.
