...peremptory summons, Solzhenitsyn released a defiant written statement of refusal. "Given the widespread and unrestrained lawlessness that has reigned in our country for many years, and an eight-year campaign of slander and persecution against me, I refuse to recognize the legality of your summons. Before asking that citizens obey the law, learn how to observe it yourselves. Free the innocent, and punish those guilty of mass murder...
Epic Amplitude. It is also triumphant proof that high art and decoration can often be the same.

The artist, Hennequin of Bruges, actually based it on an illuminated manuscript.

Sometimes the counters quickly settle into what Conway calls "still lifes" - stable, unchanging figures, including those known in the game...

If the fund produces the desired effect, executives of large, errant corporations may some day be forced to obey a command on the Anti-Monopoly board: "Go to court. The judge has called an extra session." Still, that is preferable to Monopoly's "Go directly to jail...
