Hi, thanks for the kind words. Likewise, your blog is a terrific read. All should check it out. http://www.correntewire.com/
Currently am about 3/4 of through ‘The Terror’. It reminds me of what a friend once said to someone complaining that ‘War and Peace’ was overlong – the length of the novel was a dimension of the French experience. Haven’t made it to ‘Olympos’ yet and probably have to re-read ‘Illium’ first.

Woolsey – “not really a musician” – but not really much of a spy. Classic NYT puffery:
