...because I am in a country with freedom of speech and Harvard handed me a ticket. It would have been shameful for me to remain silent. Genocide is genocide, and bloody invasion is not “peaceful liberation.” It is time to start calling a spade a spade, and I have no regrets. Bring on the Ad Board...
...Robert Crumb were ever to adapt Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade books, it would have something of the resonance this Tardi/Malet team has for this work. Malet's Nestor Burma, detective de choc, or ace detective, appears in multiple hardboiled volumes and has been adapted to film and television.

...They often serve as master strategists who draw up the plans and then underwrite the total cost of bringing a casino online: ferreting out an amenable tribe, paying a signing bonus, picking up tribal expenses and paying the salaries of the tribe's officials, all of this before a spade of dirt is turned. If an Indian band isn't federally recognized as a tribe and is thus ineligible for a gaming venture, these full-service backers will bankroll genealogists to construct a family tree, then hire lawyers and lobbyists in Washington to help change the band's status...
