When I was thirteen I read James Blish's "Cities in Flight"
novels.  I really enjoyed them.  For those of you who haven't
read them, he did a really good job of making everything seem
reasonable.  

There was only one thing in those novels that stretched my credulity
to the breaking point.  I could accept gravity generators that were
able to pick up whole cities and send them shooting across the galaxy,
I could accept drugs that made you live forever, the one thing I
could not accept was an ex-hollywood movie star becoming president
of the United States of America.
