I agree with your sentiments. I was nineteen years old in 1983 and living in the Wash. DC area. I grew up there, learning about nuclear war and coming to the realization that if World War III broke out, my region would likely be the first hit and me and my parents would die. I prayed that if...

I have two questions concerning Chapter XII: Post-War Conflict, 1986-1994. My research showed that in the fall of 1983, the PLO was in the midst of a civil war, with one faction supporting Arafat and the other backed by Syria. Arafat may or may not have been in Tripoli, Lebanon around late...

I am sorry to see as well, the discontinuation of the story. Good luck on the next one.

Between Sept. 1 and Dec. 1, 1983 there were several close calls where war could have been triggered between the US and USSR. First, former Pres. R. Nixon was supposed to be on KAL 007, the plane the Soviets shot down on 9/1. Even though he was a disgraced ex-pres. I can't help but think the...

As someone who lived through the 1980s (I was in HS in 1980), one way to make it worse would be to start in 1979. First, have the Three Mile Island nuclear plant suffer a catastrophic accident in March, contaminating a large part of the state of PA and areas of the northeast. This acts as a...

I like your story thus far and how you are incorporating Bill Stewart's death into it. I was in HS at the time it happened and remember being horrified at the video showing him being murdered. I am curious if you will be incorporating the Lebanon disaster into the story later on. I know the...

There was an interesting AH novel I remember reading which came out back in 1980 called the "Trial of Adolph Hitler" written by Phillipe Van Rjndt which examined a similar scenario as discussed here. You would have to hunt around for it as it is no longer in print. In it, Hitler reveals he...

Yes, I am afraid it was the season finale. Well, given the track record of such shows, we will have to wait and see if it returns next season or not.

As much as I enjoy the program, as well as Frequency on the CW, certain things bother me. It is pretty clear in the first episode, that changing the history of the Hindenburg will have an effect on history with all those who died, now living. However, they've implied that other events did not...

I just wanted to say that this is very good and I look forward to future installments. One question, as to the story involving the Rat Pack. If I remember correctly, Angie Dickinson was a one of few women who ran with the group back then. Is she perhaps with them in Vegas? Just curious. I...

Minor issue I wanted to pass along in your recent post. Truth or Consequences, NM was actually named Hot Springs in 1914. The change to Truth or Consequences did not come about until 1950 when it renamed itself after the quiz show. Hope this helps.

I would be worried about changing anything before the year I was born for obvious reasons. That being said I can think of two things since which come to mind I would want to change. I would go back to December 1976 and visit Jimmy Carter after he is elected President of the US but before he...
