Seing as I've established myself as an expert on lecturers, I think I'm justified in saying that almost every lecturer lingers on the left hand side of the political spectrum. I'm not talking about the lectures the Med School on "Cytoplasm and Enzymes Within Revolutionary Cells" and the like; lecturers of this ilk tend to obscure their political leanings as well as they do their general train of thought. What I'm talking about is your standard, intended-for-the-layman, issue-oriented lecture, by someone who can draw crowds...

"Before you know it, the expert starts telling you which is left and which is right...
Osgood returns for a brief conference with Thomas, in which there is nothing useful to say. This was to have been Thomas' turn, but Osgood has taken his place. Thomas is the most experienced bomb-disposal expert in England, called out of retirement when Irish terrorists began stepping up their bombing attacks in Northern Ireland. But he has exhausted his supply of nerve. It is not a matter of steady hands; a watchmaker's skill is not required. All that is necessary is to pry the top off the wooden box and cut a single wire before...
