Remember that thrilling Peter Benchley novel, Leviathan Rising? How about the Civil War classic, Bugles Sang True? And of course there's that modern non-fiction political whodunit, At This Point in Time. If you're drawing a blank, don't feel bad — all of those titles were changed before their books came out, Bill Lucey writes at NewspaperAlum, in a musing prompted by Mark Leibovich’s new book This Town, which was almost You’ll Always Eat Lunch in this Town Again.
