[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: The High Frontier, Redux: Charlie, a wonderful essay, even though I thought it was missing some salient points, such as the fact that a good part of the reaction mass that you need to carry to Centauri will be gone after accelerating, i.e deceleration from 10%c towards Centauri will need less fuel than the acceleration.

[Opinionator» Stanley Fish] Ward Churchill Redux - Opinionator Blog - NYTimes.com: The answer Churchill’s partisans would give (and in the end it may be the right answer) is “politics.” After all, they say, there wouldn’t have been any special investigative committee poring over Churchill’s 12 single-author books, many edited collections and 100-plus articles had he not published an Internet essay on Sept. 12, 2001, saying that the attacks on the World Trade towers and the Pentagon were instances of “the chickens coming home to roost” and that those who worked and died in the towers were willing agents of the United States’ “global empire” and its malign policies and could therefore be thought of as “little Eichmanns.”
