About the Edition

When 9/11 struck, Ben Batchelder was living overseas. Dumbfounded, he wondered: How could he help? After leaving his marriage and cozy corporate career, he returns to the U.S. with an outlandish plan: to protect the country by car, driving a silver-plated VW Beetle as close to the remote borders as possible, without getting arrested.

I'm beginning to think this situation is hopeless due to the vast differences in political activism. And the problem is, it's on the other side of the border that we can't affect unless, GHW Bush goes.
