Been re-reading some favorites from long ago~ Wouk, King, etc.... About 1/2 way through "A Man Called Intrepid" . (Pay attention to spelling here-big differences) Basically the in-awe bio of Sir William Stephenson by William Stevenson, who is not related. What still gets to me some 40 years after first reading, is how much the Brits and Americans knew before the first shot was fired in WW ll. A recommended read, once you get past the hero-worship. They say history repeats it's self. May be true- I'm seeing a lot of the not in my backyard and divisional stuff that got us into the mess of the late 30's starting up again... Also a good look at Brit law and governance, with a bit on how it's done without an official constitution... The checks and balances actually still make pretty good sense. Regards, Doc Sharptail
