...reclining Chacmool figures of pre-Columbian art that were another of his early inspirations. But by dividing a figure into two or three separate parts, an approach he started taking as early as 1934, Moore could endow an otherwise inert mass with a tangled energy and a forbidding hint of bodily dismemberment that spares those pieces from the sentimentality that can infect so much of his art. A work like Two Piece Reclining Figure: Points, from 1969, has the feel that Moore aimed at - but didn't always achieve - of form as primal matter...
...whale's so-called lean meat - from the breast and the tail - are served up. But whale isn't only served slathered with some kind of condiment or sauce. Gourmands can slurp a long, thin sashimi cut of raw minke breast meat - slippery like a fat noodle - with a hint of sesame oil in any of the half dozen or so restaurants in Tokyo that specialize in whale. Sliced whale cartilage is prepared as a "sunomono salad and prized for its distinctive not-quite crunchy texture," says Japanese food specialist and author Elizabeth Andoh.

As the trilogy progresses the author reveals a battle between a dictatorial deity and the rebel angels determined to defeat Him. God is the villain of the piece, Satan the hero. And Lyra's on the side of the devils. As Pullman said to the Sydney Morning Post, "My books are about killing...
...That predated the Gobie thing. In 1989 when Tom Foley became the speaker, the Republican National Committee put out a memo saying “Oh Foley and Frank are the same.” They were trying to hint that Tom Foley was gay, by linking him to me. And that’s when I said that if they thought being gay was so terrible, that I would give them a list of all the gay Republicans. And then I said that you have a right to privacy, but not a right to hypocrisy...
