	A lot of science fiction is wishful thinking, and so is a lot of
non-science fiction.  I really doubt that the theology, attempted or
otherwise, of the current inhabitant of the White House had a great deal to
do with Mr. LaHaye's decision to book the National Press Club.  As I recall,
he began writing the series during the administration of a different
inhabitant of the White House.
	In any event, I am logging off until next week, and I wish everyone
a Happy Fourth of July.

I would classify anything Tim LaHaye writes as "wishful thinking".
However, considering the attempted theology of the current inhabitant of
the White House, that's probably why he's at the National Press Club.
