the challenge of democracy

I think I just found my 12th grade AP Government textbook. Today. In my office.

Downstairs, there’s a room that until recently was a small library. (That room was recently converted into additional office space for Express.) Many of the books that used to be in the library are now in a large pile next to the neighboring kitchen.

Among those books: The Challenge of Democracy, Fourth Edition, copyright 1995. I’m almost certain it’s the same book we used in my AP Government class my senior year of high school. I remember those bright yellow stars on the cover.

I have no idea why this book is here. And it’s stranger still that I found it the year of my 10-year high school reunion. Nerd that I am, I may have to borrow it, just to see how it compares to my memory of it.
