OK, finding my way round here. They tell me I’ll be OK so long as I don’t stumble into the Great Eastern Void, where I might wander around for years totally lost, like the Israelites in Sinai.
Errata:
(1) Tim Russert did not ask: “Supply is down, demand is up, yet prices are rising. Why?” He asked: “Supply is down, demand is up, yet _profits_ are rising. Why?” Which is marginally less daft.
(2) Working from a dim memory of Russell Miller’s book, I wrote of Hugh Hefner’s heroic consumption of Coca Cola. Actually Ner was a Pepsi man.
