Aren't Popes supposed to be celibate? It might be hard to keep the dynasty running...

I remember reading in some book that there were somewhat significant Communist guerilla movements in north and east Thailand during the war.

Some property of the ice keeps it from coming into contact with normal matter, until the ice melts. I remember it being stated that the ice was superconductive; however, the author cleverly manages to escape explaining how it's contained due to the fact that the primitive scientific technology...

Not Powell; he's had too many disagreements with Bush. Rice is a black woman, so I don't think Cheney'd pick her. Jeb they need to get Florida again, Ridge is a virtual unknown at this point (if it's pre-9/11)...Rummy maybe, Wolfowitz can do a good job running the military. Or maybe McCain?

Just finished reading this, and I found it thoroughly enjoyable. Written by the author of 'Voyage', 'The Time Ships,' and several other AH works, the POD is that a small comet impacts in Antarctica, and inside it is antimatter (although it's never called that) locked magnetically away from...

Prokhor is an old-fashioned Russian name; maybe it was adopted into Polish?

It would still have Star Trek to mock, jus not as much of it...

They refuse to negotiate with Polk; then annex it while the US is invovled with a (possibly larger-scale) Mexican War. Or, they wait until the Civil War, and annex it all then.

Didn't Eli Whitney invent interchangable parts earlier than that? And, although horrible books which I'm ashamed to bring up, the Stars & Stripes trilogy made me think: could advanced steam engine technology have made armored vehicles available for the Civil War?

Is America the same size as OTL, or are there any increased territories?

I think it might be AH if the Manchurian Candidate actually became president, but not in the current movie.

Ugh...who would ever want to enter the book Jane Eyre? That was my least favorite book I've ever read, but the story you mention sounds interesting. I should mention that The Forever War is not strictly AH; it was written in 1977, but the book begins in 2007 (and spans to c. 3100); however...

An IMDB search reveals that she was one of the handmaidens in Episode I.

Fatherland, The Man in the High Castle, Hannibal's Children, and The Forever War are probably my favorite AH novels.

The French Revolution also lead to Jews being granted full citizenship, for the first time in most cases (including France), in France and all the areas conquered by her during the Revolutionary/Napoléonic Wars. It also resulted in the abolition of slavery, and the granting of citizenship to...

The only reason there was a threat of war was due to Federalist provocation anyways; and besides..coughcough*Quasi-War*coughcough...

What he says is all well, but I think we can all agree that what politicians say and what they do are two completely different things. I seem to recall that W. said to Jeb that 'if he doesn't give me Florida then it's going to be a cold Thanjsgiving;' that right before the election, several Bush...

I read somewhere that what were possibly Phoenician and Roman artifacts were discovered in some ancient South American port; anyone know anything about this?

Does anyone have a map of this Arabstan province, or what the enlarged Iraq would look like?

I don't know, that seems like TOO many major stars for a remake of a 60's TV show. Also, why not keep Ricardo Montalban as Khan, like OTL? He was perfect for the role. And where're Scotty and Checkov?!!
