I enjoyed Hanging by the Thread. It was intriguing.
I particularly like lecture five. For a long time I have tried explaining the original role and intent of the Senate only to be faced with blank stares (not much of a teacher). When I read your comments about the 17th amendment I immediately had to read it to my wife.
Thanks. I look forward to your next book.
