520    The United States is in a fifty-states-wide couples' 
       counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. Can
       a nation composed of states that are so different possibly
       hang together? Quinn calls us out state-by-state, and 
       identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to 
       believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big
       -picture thinking about systems of government he skewers 
       us all: red, blue, and purple-- while maintaining the same
       blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the U.S. 
       into being. -- adapted from jacket
