On Generals Testifying Before Congress
"I am sure that you would not kill thousands of people you don’t know on command of some nonentity, and then accept strange-looking medals for doing so.

J.K.
Rowling: ‘Harry Potter’ Encyclopedia Is Wholesale Theft
“J.K.
Rowling testified before a packed courtroom in a lawsuit to block publication
of a Harry Potter lexicon, telling a judge that the book amounts to a
‘wholesale theft’ of nearly 20 years of her hard work.” I wonder how far
