I was there the next morning, I knew the person that did it. I saw her go out on stress leave.

...Adams books, but my ability to estimate quality doesn’t turn off when something’s set in space; if anything, I share the general cultural prejudice against the genre. Which is the shaker’s worth of salt grains you should take when I tell you that I think “Battlestar Galactica” is a really wonderful show. “Battlestar” is the story of a small group of humans who survive a nuclear holocaust perpetuated by robots known as the Cylons.
