She could be a New York State Supreme Court Judge. Back in the day that was a typical route to the USSC.

The obvious alternate history for Hillary Clinton is her deciding in 2000 not to run for Moynihan’s New York Senate seat, but for the Clintons to move to Illinois (her home state) to prepare for a run in 2004 against Republican Senator Ryan. With the Chicago establishment behind her she takes...

Ronald Reagan. Not only due to his awful policies, but he would be facing large liberal Democratic majorities in both houses. He would not have any coattails even if he managed the eke out a win over Carter.

I enjoyed it. A single volume, not the start of a new series.

Started reading this today.

Is anyone aware of a Star Trek timeline where the original Jeffrey Hunter pilot is picked up by NBC?

Oh, totally US centered.

I found myself wondering if the decision not to pursue the atomic bomb was actually a bit of disinformation, either by the Government to the efficiency expert or by him to his wife.

Great film, but it did make my head hurt.

The pilot is being repeated on Saturday October 1 (at least in the Washington DC area, not sure if other Fox stations are rerunning it).

I'm willing to predict that the Czech sharpshooter ends up killing Sanjurjo. Also that the British vets end up in some sort of coup attempt in England (Valkyrie like?).

Spoiler Alert Finished this last night. Echoing what's been said previously about the POV characters. I found a bit implausible the whole Big Switch. I can accept the Brits/French agreeing to a ceasefire (or even a formal peace) with the Nazis, but actually fighting with them on the Russian...

One comment: primary elections did not exist in the 1850s.

Not sure why everyone is assuming that Eisenhower would have been a shoo-in for reelection in 1960. The 1958 mid-term elections were a pretty devastating rebuke to him and the GOP (they lost 15 senate seats and 49 house seats, adding to existing Dem majorities in both houses), and the economy...

I can imagine a scenario where, after defeating Ted Kennedy in 94, Romney is chosen as Dole's running mate in 96. That could have set him up for a run for the Presidential nomination in 2000 (and not having to defend the Senate seat that year).

Spoiler space (if necessary): I finished this a few days ago and enjoyed if for the most part (as I generally do with Conroy's books). I did have a few quibbles: I thought the concept of anti-war riots in London as early as Conroy has them was a stretch, let alone...

In our timeline there were many other, smaller, scandals that the Democratic controlled Congress and the media went after Nixon for: tax deductions for his Presidential Papers, work done on his private residences, battles over impounding appropriated funds for agencies/services he didn't approve...

Well, that's because it isn't a work of fiction, but an account of a recent conference of historians, journalists and a few folks who worked for both Kennedy and Johnson discussing/arguing about whether JFK would have done anything different than LBJ did had he survived Dallas. As one would...
