On Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:41:47 -0400, with neither quill nor qualm, "Ed
Huntress" quickly quoth:

and I asked:
Oh, I think I had read that excerpt before, probably on Amazon.
Is the rest of the book as tense as the first chapter?


I'm only up to around page 100, but, so far, it slows down after the first
chapter and now it seems to be building up again. Which stands to reason,
because that's the way books like this are written.

It's interesting to me partly because I knew, and worked with to a limited
extent, some of the people he talks about. He was the NRA liason for NJ when
I was involved with the fight over our assault-rifle ban. The people he
talks about were the guys running the show here in NJ.

Where I am in the book now is where he describes what happened with Bernie
Goetz and Roy Innis in New York. Fascinating stuff.


Too bad it's not released onto www.gutenberg.org yet.
