Negative Positive
Title: Right Now
Review: I often had to remind myself that this book was written in the mid 1930's. Much in the book is such an on-target description of what is happening today. The following thoughts of Doremus are eerily close to our present day leader."The one thing that most perplexed him was that there could be a dictator seemingly so different from the fervent Hitlers and gesticulating Fascists and Caesars with laurels round bald domes; a dictator with something of the earthy American sense of humor of a Mark Twain, a George Ade, a Will Rogers, and Artemus Ward. Windrip could be ever so funny about solemn jaw-drooping opponents, and about the best method of training what he called 'a Siamese flea hound.' Did that, puzzled Doremus, make him less or more dangerous?Then he remembered the most cruel-mad of all pirates, Sir Henry Morgan, who had thought it ever so funny to sew a victim up in wet rawhide and watch it shrink in the sun."Yes, it can happen here.
