42. I read that a while back, also War is a Racket. Fascinating -- horrifying -- books

Butler was totally committed to America and to American law and order. A genuine Conservative from back when the word wasn't synonymous with Constitution shredding treason.

Also recently re-read "The Plot Against America", arguably Philip Roth's best novel; and watched the excellent HBO dramatization of it. Also, of course, Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here," written in 1935 when Fascism was stretching its wings in Europe.

Two of the books I'd take with me to Yellow Knife -- which is my mythical escape haven for when it all comes crumbling down. Sadly, at 80 I'll have to stick around to see the MAGA marching morons have their fecal way with the land of my birth.
