I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Non-subscribers to The Economist might want to give thought to picking up the Holiday edition at the news stand.  A large number of interesting non-news stories.  I finished the one on the British POW Washington almost had killed, and am now reading about the American financier who influenced the development of the London Underground.

I'm not seeing the awful, it's of it's time and I'd hazard the hats are a family in-joke, seems fine to me.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
