Thanks for calling my attention to it, the book needed
a more balanced review there, and I put one up. Basically
the book is one of my favorite books, in the original --> C <--
version. However, the book is about as fair to Pascal
as a gang rape in a federal prison.
Apologies for any slur to gangs, raping, federal personnel
or prisons.
