I definalty agree with you Mike. I would love to hear more about
some of those events in "the past" that are just mentioned in passing.
Like a novel on the national election the disapered. or one on the Crash
of '29. A big part of the reason i enjoy SR so much is the detailed
history and setting. Anything to add to that would be great.
