        Many of us that read it in the Reagan 80's saw it as a premonition of things to come. We weren't really wrong.

        Not really Margaret. After Reagan and Jerry Falwell's bromance in early 80's, I could see it coming. Roe v. Wade came under attack

        What a wonderful book! It, and Sinclair Lewis's "It Can't Happen Here", are scarily prescient now, aren't they?
