Russian roulette sushi
It's been all over the intertubin' news, dangerous levels of mercury have been found in some kinds of tuna used for sushi. The last round of panic was over people growing huge parasitic worms from eating sushi; I figure the fish supply is dwindling so rapidly I may as well enjoy a little bit of it now and then. It'll be gone before it's all poisonous.
Swell day of hair and feet being spa-treated, at least for our elder stateswoman.
A bit from the thoughts of a German character in Patrick White's novel Riders in the Chariot, as he contemplated the start of WWI: "War did not come as a surprise, to him, or anyone, that is, it did not erupt in the manner of volcanoes, it seeped over and into them. Some were appalled at the prospect of their becoming involved, but many sang, as if welcoming a lover, one who might certainly crack their ribs and bruise their flesh, but whose saliva intoxicated as it poisoned, and whose passion liberated their more inadmissable desires."

You are welcome to my share of the sushi.
Did you ever read The Guns of August? It is big and fat and sometimes tedious, but still good about the run up to and beginning of WWI.
No, but I've heard about Tuchman's book. I've read another one of hers about the Middle Ages called A Distant Mirror, concerning those endless wars they had; the book itself seemed interminable at times, though very good.
