Charles Lindbergh's Secret Lives, White Supremacist Nazi, Multiple Families

[frazzled]

1. I hope people watched "The Plot Against America" this past year

or at least read the Philip Roth novel on which it was based. It's a fictional (though frighteningly realistic) story in which "An alternate American history during World War II is told through the eyes of a working-class Jewish family in New Jersey as they endure the political rise of Charles Lindbergh, who captures the presidency and turns the nation toward fascism."

Chillingly relevant to our own times, the film version (a series on HBO) was compellingly acted and beautifully directed and filmed. The ending still sends chills up my spine.
