Well, they very well coulda had a V-8 program.
By the way, I'm 140 pages into an old Bantam edition of GR (my Viking
edition misfired and rained debris down on Peenemunde during the first
reading--this edition is not faring much better: I started writing all the
acronyms on the inside back cover, but the cover is now completely
detached). The recommended reading pace for this project is actually
faster than I read it the first time, but the feedback would be very, very
helpful. I'm willing to take the dive, as long as that guy Crutchfield
goes first!

If you were to quote "I am that I am," for example,
I thought that the fundamental problem was where to
put the comma, inside the quotation marks or outside.
