Review of 'State of Fear' by Michael Crichton

State of Fear is climbing the bestseller lists and will be read by members of Congress (including, we hope, Senators McCain and Lieberman) and by politicians throughout the world (including, we hope, Britain’s science adviser Sir David King). Although the author displays no political agenda, his book will strengthen the position of President George Bush (and most of the U.S. Senate) in turning down the Kyoto Protocol and the state of fear on which it relies.
