[RRE]what I'm interested in, part 24

These books are older, mostly from the 1980's.  But I've read the
great majority, at least in part, and I think they are still valuable.
That doesn't mean I agree with them.  Some of them are valuable as
data, for example as important early specimens of the new political
jargon.  Others are wrong in sufficiently interesting ways that they
are valuable to argue with.  In any case, I hope they are useful.
