She's so intensely intelligent. I'm interested in reading this as well.

I don't always agree with her either, but I like her because she gets me to think about why I disagree without also wanting to smack her upside the head... most of the time..lol

I'm reading the ebook. By jove, Eisenhower was right about the military industrial complex. It is frustrating reading because I can see and remember the process she is describing. It seemed much more subtle at the time, but it is obvious that some thought went into shaping perceptions.

I'm about half way through. Don't worry about spoilers, since I lived through most of the times she talks about. :-3
