         book, INSCRIBED  at  length and SIGNED on the title  page  in
         1990 for----  "I  would  say  that quite  a  bit  has/changed
         during the past twenty/years. The costumes have gotten/worse,
         to be sure,  but  the exercise/of political power has  gotten
         better./I'm  afraid  tha I can claim  no  direct/intellectual
         influence   whatsoever,/however  I  must   say  that  all  of
         those/mayors,  the  new governor of Virginia/and the  present
         chairman  of  the  Democratic/Party are all  consistent  with
         the/OmniAmericans  I have always had/in mind." On the  facing
         page Murray  has  written the names of 14 cities with  mayors
         that he  refers  to in his inscription and has  added  "among
         others!"  In  addition Murray has made one correction in  the
         text. Fine  in  Near  Fine dustwrapper  with  light  rubbing.
