...still don't know it. I just finished this morning the first chapter of the third Leonid McGill book. And I'm still learning about him. And I will be learning about him until I come to the last book, which I think will be number ten. And if I wrote an eleventh, I would find out even more about him. That gets back to the whole notion of character development. I see each book as a novel, but then I see the whole series as a novel - one big long novel. And so the character is always growing...

But the Administration is also concerned about hurting ordinary Iranians, or shattering whatever international consensus currently exists on dealing with the Iran issue. And opposition...
...others - like the Chinese - believe the negotiations route has a long way to go. The current deadlock suggests that Iran is unlikely to accept the terms currently on offer by the West for resolving the dispute, but that doesn't necessarily preclude any deal - Iran has floated a number of counter offers for exchanging smaller amounts of uranium or storing it on Iranian soil, but none of these has so far been acceptable to the U.S. and its allies, whose stated objective remains ending all uranium enrichment in Iran. Tehran has held firm to the principle that the NPT allows...
