We're feeling more ourselves this afternoon and we got a good idea.
We've gone through the Great Salvation of 1976 and here's what we have:
-America recovering
-Public works projects like a Mississippi River cutoff and the trans-Alaskan pipeline
-A war in Korea
-Matt making his way through Pennsylvania, Ohio
-Planning for the election of 1976
-A presidential reconstruction commission
-Vignettes in schools and libraries
-The Soviet city of Ulan Ude
-70,000 words
Is it enough? We've a nagging feeling the answer to that question is no, nyet, nay, nein.
With the Korean War chapter, readers learn a tonne about what's going on in Japan and China. Should we add another foreign section? Maybe more Thatcher in the UK? We must dwell on this.
