IN THE MAIL: A copy of Jim Powell's Wilson's War: How Woodrow Wilson's Great Blunder Led to Hitler, Lenin, Stalin & World War II. Upside: Amusing blurb by P.J. O'Rourke. Downside: Blurb by the rather dubious Thomas Woods. Not that there's much that's good about World War I, a disastrous episode from which Europe has never really recovered.
