What we have now is not a tight club of nuclear powers with interlocking interests and an appreciation for the brutal doctrine of "mutually assured destruction" but an unpredictable host of potential Bomb throwers: a Stalinist Bomb out of unstable North Korea; a Shi'ite Bomb out of Iran; a Sunni Bomb out of Pakistan; and, down the road, possibly out of Egypt and Saudi Arabia as well; and, of course, an al-Qaeda Bomb out of nowhere.

Patricia Cornwell and her amazing ability to write crime novels is another case in point. Cornwell has slowly abandoned the tight, protagonist-focused style that made her prize-winning debut “Postmortem” so compelling.
