Baxter: 003
I read a review today of The Hazards of Time Travel, in which the main character is sent back to Wisconsin 1959 as a punishment for political dissent. It got me thinking about why 1959 in particular, wouldn't there be worse times and places to be imprisoned in?
Since that's a depressing topic, instead I decided to pose a question: If you could take a year-long 'sabbatical' in any period of history, where and when would you go? I think I'd go to Paris around 1909 — late enough for the Metro, buses and taxis but before the introduction of neon lights.
