...Where else did you go for inspiration? What are your favorite zombie books and movies? I'm a fan of Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide. I thought that was extremely funny and well done. And I'm a fan of his World War Z. On the movie side I'm a classic George Romero guy. I like my zombies slow and stupid - as opposed to this new fast-moving, clever zombie trend that's been hitting movies...
...Tell Us Something New In his article, former history professor Newt Gingrich misstates some facts about the 20th century [March 23]. The Great Depression did not give rise to Nazism or Japanese militarism. It was World War I and its aftermath that set the stage for both Mussolini's march on Rome and Hitler's attempted putsch in Munich.

...1990s, at the height of a dirty war fought against Kurdish separatists, state-sanctioned death squads allegedly killed hundreds of people and then buried them in unmarked pits, according to human-rights groups.

The manual issued to recruiting commanders warns that, unlike war, in recruiting there will be no victory "until such time when the United States no longer requires an Army." Recruiting must "continue virtually nonstop" and is "aggressive, persistent and unrelenting." (See more about the military...
...love for a girl Cullen calls "Harriet," to whom Klebold apparently never spoke. Whereas Harris dreamed of homicide, Klebold dreamed about suicide: "Thinking of suicide gives me hope that i'll be in my place wherever i go after this life--that ill finally not be at war w. myself, the world, the universe." Klebold was the follower, not the planner. Under Harris' careful direction, he learned to turn his inner pain inside out, into an insane desire to punish others. By the spring of 1999, he and Harris were both calling themselves gods. The rest of us were zombies...
