it is too relevant!

What I found in the "Free Checkout" video shelves at the downtown library: "William F. Buckley, Jr.'s Celestial Navigation Simplified." Proof that conservatives can like science. Buck's son Christopher Buckley, the satirical political novelist [please please please read his book Florence of Arabia, if only for the puns. And go dig up those old back issues of The Atlantic Monthly for his short fictions.] went to sea at age 19 and wrote a nice book about it. Not that liberals don't make good seamen; Bill Clinton, so I hear, is handy with a sextant.
