Assume a virtue if you have it not
–William Shakespeare
One head lacks the power of many. One head is corruptible. One head is removable.
–Benjamin Franklin
Victories
Ian is being harassed by textbook publishers carrying sharp objects and hair clippers
I sent out five query letters. Two of them got auto-replies. Apparently, New York is closed at the moment. They are obviously too torn up over Tiger Woods’ lack of fidelity.
News
Amazon.com is purposefully losing money on e-books. This makes publishers mad, even though Amazon is the one losing the money.
Per my victory above, it looks like New York does take it easy this time of year.
