We witness a passing phase of eternity. Important things happen but some people never notice. Accidents… — Frank Herbert
We witness a passing phase of eternity. Important things happen but some people never notice. Accidents intervene. You are not present at episodes. You depend on reports. And people shutter their minds. What good are reports? History in a news account? Preselected at an editorial conference, digested and excreted by prejudice? Accounts you need seldom come from those who make history. Diaries, memoirs and autobiographies are subjective forms of special pleading. Archives are crammed with such suspect stuff.

Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes. Real boats rock.
