From a review by Justice Antonin Scalia of some crazy book, a nifty phrase: deus ex hypothesi A funny twist on the old favorite literary device, deus ex machina.
Eleanor McEvoy has a number of lovely songs. Whisper a Prayer to the Moon is beautiful. Great lyric: If I had the powers/I'd give you the stars/the sun and the light/of the moon.
Dark Sun:The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb, by Richard Rhodes. discusses the nuclear arms race. Pretty freaking insane.
