has anything changed from whitman? >> there's been some evolution. when i began this book, everybody i talked to, describe a mass shooter, they all described the images we created as a mythic embodiment, the young white male wearing the long trenchcoat which is itself a knit made in the fog of war. even a mass shooter who bore no resemblance to that description gave me the same description. what i found is there is -- the mass shooters, this is the most chilling thing i can think of, they are in our current environment just like us only more so, demographically there is a fairly representative cross-section. what they have in common is a grudge, a sense of entitlement, a sense of narcissism, extreme narcissism. those are in so many ways in a culture like ours that has come to prize a sense of victimhood, that has come to regard fame or infamy, doesn't matter, as a consummation devoutly to be wished. a nation that has come moderate sized, literally, sized rage and grievance. these guys truly are just like us only more so. i didn't set out to write a 2

and everyone around eisenhower, from his secretary ann whitman to his brother milton knew that ike's hand-holding of wilson was a major time waster for him. but he had a very generous nature and had a hard time saying no. another problem for wilson was counterpressure from congress. many congressmen thought cutting the military was just not very smart during a cold war. in particular, as time went along, senator stuart sidlington, who was a former air force secretary, was second-guessing wilson at just about every turn. finally, as if matters could get worse, or needed to get worse, a new policy came along called the new look, which many of you are familiar with, which emphasized nuclear weapons over conventional weapons because they were cheaper. ike and his advisers felt that any confrontation with the russians would probably escalate into a nuclear exchange, and therefore, large standing armies were just not that necessary. and both ike and humphrey loved the fact that the new look would save a lot of money. so this gave wilson a whole new set of problems, because for one thing, i
