The Routinization of Mittelwerk

[Paul Mackin]

Everyone please ALSO notice that the gender wars have attenuated greatly. The recent one
lasted about ten seconds. When decisive action is called for, there are those who know
how to take it. There were a few stragglers over minor  misunderstandings or
possibly misplaced commas but even so.  In another six months what will be left of
the p-list???

Well, there's a lot more of MDMD to cover, which I've really got to start getting into.
