...traffic nightmare that the city will not forget soon)--Annan will press this idea further. In the past few years, he has been refining a policy that calls on the states of the world to step in wherever and whenever human lives are being consumed in conflagrations of hate, disease or poverty. He has not always succeeded. On his watch, in places like Rwanda and Bosnia, he has seen thousands die as they awaited help. He is haunted by their faces--and determined to perfect his organization so those mistakes never occur again...
...persuade Americans to grind up their children in a world that seems filled with endless hate? Annan believes it is all about leadership, about explaining how seeing a crime obligates us to prevent others if we can. He won't bash Clinton directly, but he suggests much of the killing that has gone on in the past decade could have been prevented by stronger U.S. leadership.

This is because the robot, like Hemingway's Jake Barnes in "The Sun Also Rises," has a sad incapacity to mate; surely that is one of the first defects the shrewd robots would correct...
...Well it wouldn't necessarily be inappropriate but it would sound really pompous. I'd hate to call it that. But it was sort of structured that way, consciously, especially the whole seventh part that is set in 1893. I set it that way on purpose; as carefully I could make it, I tried to pace that part of the story. It's told in terms of a memory, whereas every thing that is told in the present day is told in terms of a theatrical present-day experience with all the clunkiness. Whereas in a memory you edit things...
