Thanks to Rick

Before "The Hurt Locker" won the Academy Award last Sunday, only about a dozen people (other than Academy members) had seen the film.  After the Academy Award, that will change.

Before Rick's review of my book appeared in Commonweal, only about a dozen people had read the book.  After Rick's review, I'm waiting for Hollywood to call.  I want George Clooney to play James Bradley Thayer.
