I think the copy editor was having trouble with the concept. As a long-time aficionado of paper-wrapped gunpowder, I wouldn’t want to be in the same county as an eight-mile firecracker.
In The Mail
The Centennial Edition of Atlas Shrugged, courtesy of the Ayn Rand Institute (though just the paperback). I can’t imagine I’ll ever find the time to reread it, though.
Weird Referrer Log
I’m number two on Google for the word “bupmed.”
Not OK
I can’t believe I missed Oklahoma. I’m embarrassed, but I guess forty-nine out of fifty isn’t too bad.

Atlas Night Launch
This might be worth a drive up to the Cape for on Friday night.
[Update on Tuesday morning]
Sorry, that’s Thursday night.
It’s Not The Crime, It’s The Coverup
This was one of the first stupid political decisions that the Clinton White House made, in their ongoing interest of manufacturing a false image, and it’s reverberated right down to Hillary’s campaign. It seems particularly true in this case, because there doesn’t seem to have been a crime. Bill Dedman has read Hillary’s thesis, and it comes off as pretty weak tea to me. Pretty anti-climactic, after all the fevered speculation during the nineties, which (like many Clinton imbroglios) was fed by the secrecy.

Thoughts On Urban Design
…and on urban designers. From Lileks.
We’re All Getting Tired Of Them
Dick Polman says that it’s not just Republicans and moderates who may be suffering from Clinton fatigue. I continue to think that this campaign will not survive for twenty-one months. Part of the Obama phenomenon is desperation for something new.
