Oh, how the language changes: "He said I appear'd a young man of promising parts".

Just back from New Zealand on holiday and reading this became urgent. Fascinating book about a fascinating country.

This is really remarkable - and lots of stuff on stereotype threat, wonderful stuff.

This book is beyond fascinating. I'll finish it tomorrow at the State Library: “He is then given the series finger-mouth-ear-eye and told that three objects are found on the head, the fourth on the body. ‘You say the finger isn’t needed here. But if a fellow is missing an ear, he can’t hear. All these are needed, they all fit in. If a man’s missing a finger, he can’t do a thing, not even move a bed.” Gosh!

Trevor is on page 100 of 208 of Capitalism and Freedom
"A system such as that just outlined (removing the gold standard and floating the US dollar) would solve the balance of payments problem once and for all." As best I can see the dollar is floating and the US has a balance of payments deficit of $400 Billion.

Trevor is reading Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
This is utterly amazing. The stuff about the Kennedy assassination is mind-blowing. There really is a dozen plays and films in this.
