Fred Kaplan explains the surprising (because of who was for and against it) Senate vote to kill production of the F-22 stealth fighter plane. The vote wasn't so much along party lines as pork loins.
By the way: Fred sent me a copy of his new book, which is all about the year 1959 and all the turning points that occurred in or around that year. I'm enjoying what I've read of it but I've been too busy lately to get all the way through it. I will soon, but if you don't want to wait for me, here's an Amazon link that'll get you a copy.
