Greater. Much bigger player in the show. Liked the Ford-Taft poster in last post-Lindbergh election scene. Perfect.

Shouid have said the last short act, not scene. In front of the polling place with both major parties promoting their candidates. (Were their any third parties?)

Yeah, the point of the coda is that everything is going back to normal after the Lindbergh interlude. Sort of like some post-Trump restoration fantasies among centrists.

Even that’s not clear. Ford-Taft might well win.

The TV show ends ambiguously. The novel offers a pure restorationist fantasy

Yes, Meany the tv show. Much more powerful for that ambiguity.

Yeah, that was what I wrote -- show's ending worked better than novel's. But will add that post-Lindberg you're more likely to get Westbrook Pegler than Taft.https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/plot-america-hbo-trump/ …

the book just showed that it was a tiny blip and history just resumed as it is today. the show is a lot more open ended, works better with TV
