Here, also, is his answer to the need for a truly memorable new Declaration of Independence ("Whereas in the course of human events it behooves us, the people, not to ask What can our country do for us, anyway? but rather, whether we have anything to fear except fear itself").

Bush (the man will stop at nothing for his art), Barry has nonetheless outdone himself in this book.
