I had a professor who predicted we would become more like Russia, and Russia would become more like us. I don’t have a visionary bone in my body, naturally, I scoffed at the notion.

My dad told me that back in the ‘70s. I thought he was nuts.
He also hoped things would plateau out but I don’t see that yet. If we get Hillary or an empty Republican suit again, we will continue our descent.

Slightly off topic but I had a friend who was quite serious with a guy back in the early 50s.

She broke it off,though,because she thought he was nuts. All he talked about was man landing on the moon.

We all told her it was a wise decision.

I, too, had a Russian history professor who said we would become like Russia, and they would become like us.
He called it the “convergence” theory, and he was referencing a particular book, the title and author of which I’ve strained my noodle to remember, to no avail.
If you know it, I’d sure appreciate a clue.

In 1958 a Ecom 101 professor said the same thing. We thought he was kidding.
