Thanks. You may be interested in a piece I did for my 50th reunion at Dartmouth, explaining how the U.S. has realized the worst fears of President Eisenhower (Military-Industrial Complex), and George Orwell ("1984"). I haven't released it for general consumption. Would welcome your feedback. You can download it at www.davidlsmith.com/history.pdf
