The Glory That Might Have Been
« on: 2 September 2003, 14:47 »
After reading (a glib "flipping through" of) Mr. Baxter's excellent novel Voyage (1996), a novel about possibilities and what MIGHT HAVE BEEN, I was inspired . . .

So I have constructed a solitary, non-functional website, in quiet ponderance of the great things America could have achieved, but did not.
