    Threadmarks: Prologue

    Prologue “The question I ask today is not an easy one. That question is this: what is the spirit of our nation?

    "Allow me to tell you all a tale. I'm sure it's one we all know; but in times such as these, old tales have a way of being relevant. Isn't that what the good book is, after all? Old tales to help us through rough times? "Now let me take you back. Back a long, long, long time ago. When our...

    Plausibility Check: Early Penicillin
