Will Nukes America

As previously noted, The Great Nuclear War of 1975 is 30,000 words. While we're writing The Battle of Prudhoe Bay we'll be shoring up the first half of the book.

We've been doing a lot of research on Nelson Rockefeller, who takes over after Ford is killed in the attack. An interesting and able man now fading fast from the American consciousness. 

We've also been vetting the people we have around Rocky. This includes Donald Rumsfeld, Ford's CoS, and his young protegee, Dick Cheney. Cheney's the man who suggests, 'Hey, let's set up a Western White House in Caspar, Wyoming.

We're including another aid/policy wonk, one James Cannon, who was an aide to Rocky in Albany and later to Gerald Ford. Cannon wrote a book about Ford, which we own. Actually our grandfather owned it first, many a Sunday night did we stare upon the binding cover pic of Ford as our grandfather lectured us on something we did wrong. Also, Cannon was a friend of his and we met him a few times when we lived in Washington. He was a smooth southern gentlemen.
