COCHRANE: What?
LAFORGE: Oh well, you see, in the future this whole area becomes an historical monument. You're standing almost on the exact spot where your statue's gonna be.
COCHRANE: Statue?
LAFORGE: Yeah! It's marble, about twenty metres tall and you're looking up at the sky. Your hand sort of reaching to the future.

A snowy arrival of winter in Spokane, Inland Northwest
By Mike Prager
A snowstorm Friday foreshadowed the official beginning of winter today and slowed traffic around the Inland Northwest.
Spokane International Airport reported 3 inches of snow at 4 p.m. Friday as snowfall began to ease at nightfall.
A 10-vehicle collision with one fatality blocked both westbound lanes of Interstate 90 seven miles east of Ritzville for several hours Friday afternoon. Westbound drivers were detoured.
The accident occurred at 12:46 p.m.
Elsewhere, traffic moved slowly during the evening commute. The Washington State Patrol responded to at least 90 collisions in Spokane, Adams, Whitman and Stevens counties, and dozens of slideoffs were reported in urban areas.
The National Weather Service is calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 32 in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene today.
Forecasters warned that blowing snow could cover roadways today in the Palouse, where heavier snow totals were predicted. Depths of 4 to 9 inches were expected there and in the central Panhandle and Silver Valley in North Idaho. Even more snow was expected in the mountains.
Maintenance crews had applied deicer to roadways prior to the storm and were continuing with full crews to keep roadways passable.
Friday’s accumulation was predicted to surpass the 3.3 inches of snow measured through Thursday this season at the airport. Normally, Spokane sees 16 inches of snow by this point in the season.
There is a small chance of rain or snow on Sunday, when highs go up to 36.
Another storm packing valley rain is expected on Monday with a high of 40. The storm has moisture flowing into it from subtropical latitudes in the Pacific Ocean. It may also bring strong winds across the lower Columbia Basin, Palouse and Blue Mountains. The storm should also bring snow to the mountains.
Travel weather is forecast to improve starting Tuesday as storm systems are mainly pushed away from the region by higher air pressure. Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected for Tuesday through Thursday, with highs near freezing and lows in the 20s.
Today’s storm is bringing much-needed precipitation to the region. Spokane is nearly 3 inches below normal for precipitation since Oct. 1.

CHAPTER 33
THE GAMES BEGIN
Then came Phase Two. Horizon Corporation would manufacture and distribute the "A" vaccine, turn it out in thousand-liter lots, and send it all over the world by express flights to nations whose public-health-service physicians and nurses would be sure to inject every citizen they could find. Phase Two would finish the job begun with the global panic that was sure to result from Phase One. Four to six weeks after being injected, the "A" recipients would start to become ill. So, three weeks from today, Gearing thought, plus six weeks or so, plus two weeks, plus another six, plus a final two. A total of nineteen weeks, not even half a year, not even a full baseball season, and well over ninety-nine percent of the people on the earth would be dead. And the planet would be saved. No more slaughtering of sheep from a chemical-weapons release. No more extinction of species by thoughtless man. The ozone hole would soon heal itself. Nature would flourish once more. And he'd be there to see it, to enjoy and appreciate it all, along with his friends and colleagues in the Project. They'd save the planet and raise their children to respect it, love it, cherish it. The world would again be green and beautiful.
His feelings were not completely unambiguous. He could look out the windows and see people walking on the streets of Sydney, and it caused him pain to think of what would be happening to all of them. But he'd seen much pain.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: From: Kerry Burgess

Subject: And now for something really crazy.
Desiree,
Considering what I just wrote about how the facts are impossible to ignore I couldn't help but relay something in support of that notion.
However, I can't blame you for not understanding the full implications of this note I crafted and that is because it is more complex than most others I created.
The crazy part is about how the timing came about. That's probably the part that is most complex about this note other than simply the whole idea is ridiculousness.
Only because of a sleeping dream I had one night, carefully documented, did I find myself beginning the process of moving back to Spokane Valley.
I wasn't going to send you any more of my ramblings but this is one I am kind of fond of and it is associated with my plans to move to Spokane Valley.
There is nothing in this email that is about the business of my pending lease of the apartment so you don't have to read it and I know you're busy with other stuff. I'm thinking about it because of how I am looking forward to moving into that new apartment and then this content is associated with the bizarre circumstances of my life I find myself mixed up in.
In this note I try to document a certain improbability and that improbability supports the notion I have documented a lot on my public blog about time-travel. The key point is how I try to establish the improbability of the timing of a sleeping dream I had as it associated with a "The Simpsons" episode I watched later and also about other episode titled "Cloverdale."
"Cloverdale" is the part that really got to me. Then I started seeing a pattern - a subtle pattern - associated there. I tripped over "Cloverdale" because seemingly at random - and this is where I think a lot about the possibility of coincidence - because the measure of coincidence is a degree of the subtle - I discovered The Homestead Apartments just a few days before I watched for the first time "Cloverdale" and that was fascinating to me.
The notion I tried to document here is that time-travel does exist and that it does seems to be associated with me personally.
I do not believe I am a time-traveler. What I do believe is that I am destined to become a time-traveler and I believe that is why a lot of crazy stuff happens around me on a daily basis.
I wasn't fully aware - I was not even consciously aware - of that notion as it was wrecking my life and only recently has the notion become conscious in my mind that my problems are associated with this probability - probable to me - that I am destined to become a time-traveler.
See, I started thinking (I think I will become a time-traveler therefore I am because time has no meaning to the active thoughts in the mind of the time-traveler) that I will someday in today's future become a time-traveler and I time-travel to the distant past and I deliver a message to those people of the distant past and those people from that day and from that day forward are really unhappy with the message I delivered - will deliver - and now they are actively causing me grief because they do not like the message that I will someday in my future deliver to their past.
So anyway, I don't really expect this note to make much sense. I just wanted to sort of contradict myself, I guess, about how I can understand why so many people out there in the world are actively ignoring me and the information I have reported on my public blog.
There is some kind of causality game some are playing, a game with real effects. If they ignore me, I guess, then they can try to create the notion that I am the cause of whatever it is that is the basis of the bad news I deliver to the people of the distant past when I become a time-traveler.
Meanwhile, there are other people out there now who are not so cynical about my activity as a person destined to become a time-traveler.
Somehow, I guess, my genius for subtlety is how I figure out successfully how to become a time-traveler.
On more immediate terms I am just trying to figure out how I got myself into the situation I am now, the factors that had me unable to recognize the serious health problems I had for so long and trying to figure out what I am doing here now.

The American Presidency Project
Richard Nixon
XXXVII President of the United States: 1969-1974
18 - Remarks Announcing Nominees to the Council on Environmental Quality.
January 29, 1970
Ladies and gentlemen:
You will recall that the first bill that I signed on January 1, 1970, was the Jackson bill, which set up the Council on Environmental Quality.
Today I am presenting to you the three members of the Council which is set up under that bill: Mr. Russell Train, who is from the District of Columbia; Mr. Robert Cahn, who comes from the State of Washington, but lives in Washington, D.C., at the present time; and Dr. Gordon MacDonald, who is from the State of California, who is an expert, incidentally, on the Santa Barbara oil problem. That is where I first became acquainted with him.
This Council, to give you who are members of the White House press corps an understanding about it, is parallel in responsibility to the Council of Economic Advisers. For example, it will prepare for the President a report that will be made annually, the first one on July 1, on the environment.
The Council will also have responsibility for examining the facts on the environment, for setting up an early warning system with regard to how we can avoid some of the problems which may come back to haunt us, 5, 10, 15, even 20 years from now, and setting up programs for legislation as well as programs for the Federal agencies which may not require legislation, to deal with environmental problems.
I think this is not only an historic occasion, because it happens to be a new organization, but I think it is most appropriate to present the three members of the Council to the members of the press and to the Nation at this time because, as I indicated in my State of the Union Message, a major priority--it could turn out to be the major domestic priority for the 1970's--will be problems of the environment, in the very broadest sense.
This Council has a broad charter. The members of the Council have my complete confidence, and they will have my support. Of course, the members of the Cabinet and the Cabinet Committee on the Environment Dr. DuBridge, of course, is here, who has been working with that Committee as the White House representative--we will depend upon the Council for its advice, and we trust that they will give us some of the answers to some of these problems that we have been looking for.
The members of the Council will have their names sent to the Senate today. Senator Jackson has indicated that he believes that Senate confirmation will be much easier than it is when we send down a name for a Justice of the Supreme Court. But at any event, we expect confirmation very soon.
Their offices will be in the White House area, just as is the case of the Council of Economic Advisers, and you will be seeing a lot of them, I trust, during the next few years as members of this Council.
Gentlemen, you can answer any questions you would like.
Mr. Train, we are sorry to lose you at Interior but we are glad to get you here at the White House.
MR. RUSSSELL E. TRAIN. Thank you, sir.
THE PRESIDENT. You don't mind moving from California?
DR. GORDON J. F. MACDONALD. Yes, I do, but it is a great opportunity.
THE PRESIDENT. He is from the smog-free part--Santa Barbara.
You are already here, anyway.
And incidentally, I asked the three gentlemen, "Now, which one of you shall I call a doctor?" Of course, Dr. MacDonald is from the University of California, at Santa Barbara. Russell Train said, no, don't call him a doctor, although I do think he has an honorary degree, and Mr. Cahn said, "No, I am just a journalist."
Note: The President spoke at 9:34 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following events occurred in April 1909:
April 17, 1909 (Saturday)
American First Lady Helen Taft and President William Howard Taft opened West Potomac Park to the general public in Washington, D.C., and provided for concerts every Wednesday and Saturday. Mrs. Taft, who had lobbied for the opening of the park and the planting of cherry trees in the city, arrived with her husband in one of the earliest uses of a presidential automobile.

THE WHITE HOUSE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
"That Manila could lend anything to Washington may be an idea that would surprise some persons, but the Luneta is an institution whose usefulness to society in the Philippine capital is not to be overestimated.”
–Helen Herron Taft
In her memoirs, Recollections of Full Years, Helen Herron Taft wrote about a promenade by the Manila Bay that inspired the first public project spearheaded by a first lady. She had her eye on the reclaimed expanse of land by the Washington Monument, established by Congress in 1897 as Potomac Park, a public recreation space. During those early days of the automobile, President William Howard Taft and the first lady were among those who enjoyed cruising along the “Potomac Speedway,” a road strip running along the northern border of the new park. But more than just a place for joyrides, Helen Taft had a vision for Potomac Park, as “a glorified Luneta where all Washington could meet, either on foot or in vehicles, at five o’clock on certain evenings, listen to band concerts and enjoy such recreation as no other spot in Washington could afford.”
Helen Taft was recalling the years she spent in the Philippines from 1900 to 1903, when her husband was civil governor of the East Asian archipelago that had become a United States colony or protectorate after the Spanish-American War of 1898. It was during this time that, as “first lady” of the Philippines, Mrs. Taft became acquainted with the Luneta, a public park that was part of the fabric of Manila’s social life and the setting of pivotal events in Philippine history.
The Spanish Luneta
The city of “Maynila” on Luzon, the biggest island in the Philippines, was settled and ruled by Muslim chiefs before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century. It was a palisaded kingdom, strategically harbored on the Manila Bay, which opens to the China Sea. In 1571, Miguel López de Legazpi and his contingent overcame the forces of Rajah Sulayman, the local chief, and claimed Manila for the Spanish Crown. In medieval tradition, walls were built to enclose the city, and a moat was dug around it. The walled city, Intramuros, was roughly triangular in shape, bordered on the west by the bay, on the north by the Pasig River, and by the adjacent land to the east and south. Displaced natives occupied the territory outside the walls. The land immediately to the south of Intramuros was called Bagumbayan in the native Tagalog dialect, meaning “New Town.” It became the site of a lunette, a crescent-shaped fort detached from the city’s primary defenses. In the early 1800s, the park created on the beachfront of Bagumbayan took its name from the demilune structure and was called the Paseo de Luneta or, simply, the Luneta.
David Prescott Barrows, head of education in the Philippines from 1900 to 1909, wrote one of the earliest English-language histories of the country. In seventeenth-century Spanish records he found mention of an open area of recreation extending “for about a league along the sea and through the street and village of natives called Bagumbayan” that he believed to be a reference to the Malecon and the Luneta. The Malecon Drive, an esplanade immediately outside the west wall of Intramuros, ran parallel to the Manila Bay and at its southern end opened into a formal plaza, the Luneta. At the turn of the century, they were the preeminent leisure spots in Manila.
Joseph Earle Stevens, a businessman who spent time in the Philippines from 1894 to 1896, vividly recounted the social ritual that took place during the Spanish regime at:
"the far-famed seaside promenade called the Luneta, where society takes its airing after the heat of the day is over. Imagine an elliptical plaza, about a thousand feet long, situated just above the low beach which borders the bay. . . . In the centre of the raised ellipse is the band-stand, and on every afternoon, from six to eight, all Manila come here to feel the breeze, hear the music, and see their neighbors. Hundreds of carriages line the roadways, and mounted police keep them in proper file. The movement is from right to left, and only the Archbishop and the Governor-General are allowed to drive in the opposite direction."
The Spanish Luneta was not purely a pleasure ground, however. It was also a killing field. The authorities made examples of insurgents and public offenders by meting out capital punishment in a public venue. In 1872 a small and easily quelled uprising in the province of Cavite provided the excuse the government needed to arrest several citizens suspected of activism. Among them were three priests—Mariano Gómez, José Burgos, and Jacinto Zamora. Their brutal killing by garrote in the Luneta is considered by many Filipino historians to be a critical moment in the birth of nationalism. Firing squads were advertised as festive spectacles, to be accompanied by music. The condemned were often shot in the morning, facing the rifles with their backs to the beach. But undoubtedly the most significant execution at the Luneta is that of José Rizal, the ilustrado (a well-educated, upperclass Filipino) whose polemical writings about the abuses of the Spanish friars inspired a generation of patriots. He was convicted in a sham trial and incarcerated at Fort Santiago, the prison at the northern tip of Intramuros. In his two most famous novels, Noli Me Tangere (1887) and El Filibusterismo (1891), the Luneta and Malecon figure prominently as the setting for leisurely carriage rides, romantic trysts, and musical performances. In a bittersweet touch of irony, he was marched down that very drive and was shot in the storied plaza on December 30, 1896.
Rizal’s execution proved to be a turning point in the revolution. Two years later, the Filipino rebels gained enough ground to declare independence and promulgate the country’s first constitution in January 1899. It was to be a short-lived liberation. The Treaty of Paris, signed a month before, ceded the Philippines to the United States for its victory in the Spanish-American War. American military forces moved into Manila against an underpowered but vociferous Filipino resistance. In 1900, President William McKinley made William Howard Taft head of the Philippine Commission to transition the country to civilian rule and prepare the Filipinos for self-governance.
The American Luneta
Helen Taft, her sister, and her three children arrived in Manila in August 1900. Her husband, who had been there two months prior, had rented a house for his family in Malate, a posh suburb south of the walled city. On the way there, he stopped and pointed out the “famous Luneta” to his wife. She was unimpressed. “An oval drive, with a bandstand inside at either end,—not unlike a half-mile race track,—in an open space on the bay shore; glaringly open. Not a tree; not a sprig of anything except a few patches of unhappy looking grass.” She would later acquire a different perspective.
Other writers from the post-Spanish period likewise suggest that the Luneta had seen better days. Burton Holmes, a travel writer who went to Manila shortly after the American occupation, writes thus:
"The Luneta cannot be called either beautiful or picturesque, and save at the fashionable driving hour, when the band is playing and the driveway thronged, it presents a sadly desolate appearance. . . . In Spanish days it was far more attractive; but the trees have been cut down, the glass globes on the lamp-posts shattered, and four cold electric lights replace the softer, warmer glare of the hundred blazing wicks."
Despite its stark visage, the Luneta continued to be the fashionable gathering place. Travel accounts from the early twentieth century paint a gay picture of the afternoon pageant:
"Luneta at evening presents a panorama which one may see nowhere else in the world. Thousands of people every evening drive upon the boulevard in their carromatas, or two-wheeled covered buggies, drawn by Filipino ponies.
"We halted to hear some jolly tunes played by the band on the Luneta. Again there was the blue dusk; the orange and saffron horizon; and the moving crowds in white on the bright green grass plots round the bandstand."
The Luneta became a regular part of Helen Taft’s social calendar in Manila. She outfitted her coachman in smart livery for their trips to the park where “we were sure to see everybody we knew and hundreds of people besides.” She wrote about official events held there, such as a grand celebration of George Washington’s birthday. Her recollections took on an especially tender tone on the subject of her children. “They lived out of doors and did everything that children usually do, but their most conspicuous performance was on the Luneta in the evenings, where they would race around the drive on their little ponies . . . or play games on the little grass plots which were . . . maintained chiefly for the benefit of children, both brown and white.” The last passage is one of several references she made to the racial diversity of her Manila circle, from the guests she invited to Malacañang Palace (the governor’s residence) to her children’s playmates.
Bernard Moses, a professor from the University of California, was another member of the Philippine Commission. His wife, Edith, published her own journal of their time in the Philippines, Unofficial Letters of an Official’s Wife (1908). She makes frequent mention of people-watching on the Luneta and racing up and down the Malecon. “I can understand why everyone goes to the Luneta in the evening. There is always a breeze and there are no mosquitoes; besides that, one meets everyone he knows, and ladies visit in each other’s carriages in an informal way.”
The economic expansion of the nineteenth century had created social mobility among the classes, and observations about the Luneta crowd allude to it. John Bancroft Devins, editor of the New York Observer, noted during his visit in 1898, “American, Spaniards, Filipinos, Chinese meet here, the turnouts of some of the brown and yellow people not a whit behind in style or expense those carrying paler faces.” The bourgeois preoccupation with display and appearance trickled down to Edith Moses’s poor neighbors across the street. They lived in a nipa hut (a shack made of palm leaves and bamboo) but nevertheless donned their finest clothes and hired a ride three times a week on the Luneta.
Some writers likened the daily theater on the plaza to a farce, hinting at a postwar loneliness and disillusionment behind the mask of conviviality. Holmes’s depiction of wounded American soldiers making the daily march to the Luneta is tinged with bitterness: “Hither they come, a motley, weary, ragged throng, with faces haggard . . . they sit on the stone benches or on the mossy curb and listen to the music, and gaze seaward at the transports, wondering when their turn to sail away will come.” For him, the brief moment of wistfulness is over when the music stops, the crowd disperses, and “the sun drops like a ball of fire into the China Sea and another day of work and suffering in the Philippines is ended.”
William Howard Taft’s tenure as civil governor of the Philippines ended in 1904. He returned as President Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary of war, leading a diplomatic expedition to Asia that called on Japan, the Philippines, and China in the summer of 1905. The high-profile entourage aboard the SS Manchuria included Alice Roosevelt, the president’s 21 year old daughter. She was fashionable, outspoken, and dubbed “Princess Alice” by the press, and her presence overshadowed the pioneering political mission of the tour. Wishing to avoid the media frenzy, Helen Taft opted for a quiet vacation in England with her children and friends. She wryly observed that they did not escape the sensationalized accounts of Miss Roosevelt’s adventures in the Far East reported in the British and American newspapers. She nevertheless looked forward to traveling back to the Philippines for the inauguration of the Philippine Assemble, the country’s first legislative body. She and Secretary Taft did attend as honored guests of the Filipino people and Civil Governor James Smith in 1907. In 1908 William Howard Taft was elected president of the United States.
Mrs Taft’s acquisitions from her world travels included art, furnishings, clothing and other souvenirs. Among the most visible mementos from the Orient were a tapestry (a gift from the empress of Japan), which she hung in the State Dining Room of the White House, and an ornately carved narra (Philippine mahogany) bed, which was installed in the bedroom of the Taft home in New Haven, Connecticut. But perhaps more enduring were the memories of the leisurely lifestyle she enjoyed so much in the Tropics. Her garden parties, lush with potted palms and aglow with illuminated trees, were a nostalgic reference to her Malacañang soirees and became a signature style of entertaining.
The Luneta on the Potomac
President and Mrs. Taft shared a love of music and spent many evenings in the Blue Room listening to records on the Victrola, looking out on the South Lawn with its view of the Washington Monument. One can imagine how cool breezes from the nearby Potomac would have stirred up fond memories of balmy nights on the veranda of Malacañang, the mansion that overlooked the Pasig River. When she and the president raced down the Speedway, the wind in her face would have taken her back to refreshing afternoon rides at the Luneta. She says as much in her memoirs: “For a long time before Mr. Taft became president I had looked with ambitious designs upon the similar possibilities presented in the drives, the river-cooled air and the green swards of Potomac Park.”
But beyond the suggestion of the topography, Helen Taft wanted to establish a social atmosphere. In her first spring as first lady she had the Speedway renamed Potomac Drive. She selected a site for a bandstand and arranged for an inaugural event to formally open the park on April 17, 1909. Appropriately, among the performers featured was the Philippine Constabulary Band, an acclaimed musical ensemble formed in 1902 by Walter Loving, an African American military officer stationed in the Philippines. The band had previously played at William Howard Taft’s presidential inauguration and at the 1904 World’s Fair. That Saturday afternoon, President and Mrs. Taft drove up in their landaulet to join the throng of people who had come to catch a glimpse of the first couple, to mingle and listen to music. The event was a resounding success. Potomac Park became the city’s most fashionable afternoon spot from April to late October. Helen Taft had created her own Luneta in Washington, D.C.

CHAPTER 33
THE GAMES BEGIN
"Oh, hello, Dmitriy," Kirk Maclean said, just ahead of him in the line. Maclean wasn't a vegan either, the Russian saw. His plate had a large slice of ham on it. Popov remarked on that.
"Like I said this morning, we're not designed to be vegetarians," Maclean pointed out with a grin.
"How do you know that is true?"
"Teeth mainly," Maclean replied. Herbivores chew grass and stuff, and there's a lot of dirt and grit in that kind of food, and that wears the teeth down like sandpaper. So they need teeth with very thick enamel so they won't wear out in a few years. The enamel on human teeth is a lot thinner than what you find on a cow. So either we're adapted to washing the dirt off our food first, or we're designed to eat meat for most of our protein intake. I don't think we adapted that fast to running water in the kitchen, y 'know?" Kirk asked with a grin. The two men headed off to the same table. "What do you do for John?" he asked after they'd sat down.
"Dr. Brightling, you mean?"
"Yeah, you said you work directly for him."
"I used to be KGB." Might as well try it on him, too.
"Oh, you spy for us, then?" Maclean asked, cutting up his ham slice.
Popov shook his head. "Not exactly. I established contact with people in whom Dr. Brightling had interest and asked them to perform certain functions which he wished them to do."
"Oh? For what?" Maclean asked.
"I am not sure that I am allowed to say."
"Secret stuff, eh? Well, there's a lot of that here, man. Have you been briefed in on the Project?"
"Not exactly. Perhaps I am part of it, but I haven't been told exactly what the purpose of all this is. Do you know?"
"Oh, sure. I've been in it almost from the beginning. It's really something, man. It's got some real nasty parts, but," he added with a cold look in his eyes, "you don't make an omelet without breaking some eggs, right?"
Lenin said that, Popov remembered. In the 1920s, when asked about the destructive violence being done in the name of Soviet Revolution. The observation had become famous, especially in KGB, when occasionally someone objected to particularly cruel field operations-like what Popov had done, interfacing with terrorists, who typically acted in the most grossly inhuman manner and… recently, under his guidance. But what sort of omelet was this man helping to make?
"We're gonna change the world, Dmitriy," Maclean said.
"How so, Kirk?"
"Wait and see, man. Remember how it was this morning out riding?"
"Yes, it was very pleasant."
"Imagine the whole world like that" was as far as Maclean was willing to go.
"But how would you make that happen… where would all the farmers go?" Popov asked, truly puzzled.
"Just think of 'em as eggs, man," Maclean answered, with a smile, and Dmitriy's blood suddenly turned cold, though he didn't understand why. His mind couldn't make the jump, much as he wanted it to do so. It was like being a field officer again, trying to discern enemy intentions on an important field assignment, and knowing some, perhaps much, of the necessary information, but not enough to paint the entire picture in his own mind. But the frightening part was that these Project people spoke of human life as the German fascists had once done. But they're only Jews. He looked up at the noise and saw another aircraft landing on the approach road. Behind it in the distance, a number of automobiles were halted off the road/runway, waiting to drive to the building. There were more people in the cafeteria now, he saw, nearly double the number from the previous day. So, Horizon Corporation was bringing its people here. Why? Was this part of the Project? Was it merely the activation of this expensive research facility? The pieces of the puzzle were all before him, Popov knew, but the manner in which they fit was as mysterious as ever.
