There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman.
It’s an endless series of baloney.

This is a book I did not write but instead inspired. 15 extraordinary tales written by 15 exceptional authors. I consider them ‘canon’ and have since piggybacked/inserted a few of them into Bishop’s narrative.
