Emergency Special

    “War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
