Glashow has a large, well-lit office in Lyman laboratory, near the Law School. A huge floor-to-ceiling bookcase filled with copies of the Physics Review and unbound notes lines one wall. Some colorful charts of fish from a local food-packing company and a map of Boston decorate another. The third has a blackboard on it covered with scientific-type scribbling and a picture of Glashow and Howard M. Georgi III, associate professor of Physics and frequent collaborator with Glashow. Georgi and Glashow face each other in the picture, bemused. A cartoon-type bubble pasted on the picture...
Israel has constructed a series of settlements, military installations and other major projects that form an arcing line from the Rafah salient on the Mediterranean to El Tur on the Gulf of Suez. The line (see map) looks suspiciously like a national boundary...

The younger (Jacob Brooke) then launches on a bravura monologue about a train journey across the map of the U.S. that contains every old movie cliche, engrained national myth, sentimental hyperbole and travel-brochure bait ever known to a British tourist, or to many an American for that matter. As Brooke masterfully delivers it, this becomes a manic poetic aria of cumulative exhilaration...
