I now confess that my interest in animal fables is personal as well as theoretical. I have on coming out officially on June 1 in bookstores throughout the country. It's also already available at Amazon on line (at the link below). The title is
Cry Wolf: A Political Fable

I'm going to put a more detailed post above, and announce it on a couple of boards below as well.
