Lawyer Arrested for Wearing a 'Peace' T-Shirt: You know, I wouldn't be a peacenik if the War side were willing to treat American citizens like human beings. Freedom is Slavery.

Sophie's World: I'm about forty pages into it. It's not a novel, at least not yet; it's a very entertaining textbook on the history of philosophy. I'm enjoying it. The device of "Sophie reads a bit of philosophy, then Sophie thinks about it" may yet get irritating, but it hasn't so far. (And I will be extremely disappointed if "Sophie Amundsen" isn't a linguistic joke on "Wisdom, the son of Man." Please don't tell me if it isn't.)
