My new book, It Can Happen Here, is turning out to be a blockbuster of a detective story. I wish it were not so full of frightening details, but the writing is excellent, the research stellar. And I have only read into the first chapter.
To this point -- highly recommended.

On the occasion of the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., as President of the United States, January 20, 2021. The Capitol, Washington, D.C.
Certain writers seem to have nothing better to do than to criticize President Biden for not being dramatic enough -- or something. He's not exciting, they say. He fails to inspire, The New York Times says today. Well, this is in the eye of the beholder certainly. If this is the most serious criticism of Mr. Biden, I'd say he is doing a remarkably fine job. As a matter of fact, I would say he is doing a remarkably fine job.
Some examples:
Pres. Biden and the First Lady, plus Vice-President Harris and the Second Gentleman Honor Military Bands at the 2021 Inauguration.
Note the respect and pomp -- simply, but powerfully executed.

The new July issue of the National Geographic contains a marvelous article on the Shkreli Awards. The Shkreli Awards call out particularly bad actors in the world of Big Pharma and Big Health companies. This seems to be, in essence, the first article of its kind in National Geographic. Highly recommended!
