Star Wars merchandise became fodder for liquidation stores and thrift shops--and wise collectors. The early '90s saw a wave of nostalgia for the Star Wars films, and the action figures, now no longer in general circulation, became a hot commodity. Dealers thrived until Kenner unveiled a second, brand-new Star Wars figure line in 1995. Cashing in on nostalgic fans and people excited by rumors of the new film in the works, this new line was strongly influenced by an older fan base that demanded better sculpting and quality control than the previous line had provided...

The familiar methods of mathematical analysis could be brought to bear on the very pattern-sprouting processes that formed the essence of formal systems--of which mathematics itself was supposed to be the primary example. Thus mathematics twists back on itself, like a self-eating snake...
