  # Author’s Note to Revised Edition
  
  
  
  
  
  When I first wrote Shall We Tell the
  
  
  President? I set the story six or seven years in the future. Now that that
  
  
  future date lies in the past, some of the story’s credibility becomes
  impaired.
  
  
  
  
  
  Since that time too I have written _The
  
  
  Prodigal Daughter _in which the chief character, Florentyna
  
  
  Kane, becomes the first woman President of the United States. It therefore
  seems

  Prodigal Daughter _and also to _Kane and Abel._

  We Tell the President? _but a number of significant changes, as well as
  
  
  minor ones, have been made in this revised,
