I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

So, Birmingham's time travel trilogy also has great ideas, and some real attempts to deal with race/gender stuff--though mostly in the vein of "weren't those people in 1942 awfully prejudiced and don't we do better now?" I wonder whether he might have gone off the rails over the past few years, Dennis Miller-style.

I've been tempted by the earlier books--maybe I should check them out.
