Been stalling, not wanting to deal with chapter 30 - in 29 I was able to
focus on Horst’s musings, but ch30 has so much 9-11 material it’s not going

get 2) and deserve some love.

beneath giant four-by-six-meter LED screens onto which bloom and fade loops
of historical highlights like Bill Clinton’s grand-jury testimony, “It
depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is,”
