This is Monica Perez, and we are here today with part four of our discussion of report from Iron Mountain.

So last time I did read the book review, which was very hard to come by by Herschel McClandris, which

was the name John Kenneth Galbraith used when he was reviewing books for the Washington Post,

and I couldn't find it anywhere. Once upon a time, it was findable, and then I couldn't find it

anywhere. However, having discovered that it was in App appendix two of this 1996 reprint of the book,

while Bill, listener and friend, sent to me the archive.org link to the appendices to the

1996 edition. So thank you so much for that. I'll put it in the show

notes and then you can read the review yourself. So in this 1996 edition, that's appendix two,

a very compelling insistence by John Kenneth Galbraith that this thing is real and he was

invited to it. But that's buried in the back.

The intro, however, in the 1996 edition is by a political satirist who I believe was

mentioned, somebody in looking for that McClandris item sent me another article.

I thought he might have mentioned this Navaski guy in it.

Anyway, there are a few different, you know, there was a lot of back and forth at the time.

All right.

Well, we'll get to all of those reviews eventually, and we'll talk about that.

But I got this edition, and it's so weird because I got this 1996 edition just the other day.

It was $15.

It's probably more than that already.

And in it, inside it was a handwritten little poem, which I imagine was from back in the day,

and it's super sad. It says, look, it's just a handwritten poem, and it says, we dreamed of having

kids. It's clearly in a man's handwriting, but we never did.
