Who can be trusted with protecting the secret of the potentially
apocalyptic Daleth Effect? Only plucky Demark!

This is late because someone sabotaged the infrastructure on which
my access to the internet depends.
Harrison actually lived in Denmark for seven years, and knew the country fairly well for a foreigner. Somewhere he said that he left because if he stayed one more year he'd never leave.
Ah footnote two. The "Anti Imperialist Alliance" and their fanatical devotion to Albania, once they had to give up on China.
I had a few beers with their Parliamentary candidate, Jules Grajower. We had a good conversation covering topics like WWII, Bertrand Russell,
and quantum mechanics (despite their rejection of the USSR, the AIA was big on Lysenko and other Stalinist scientific nonsense). Albania, fortunately, never came up. Even obsessives have to relax now and again, I suppose.
A friend got labelled a nazi by their paper. I had more fun, but he won that round (he was, in fact, quite liberal).
I wonder how many of the AIA people I talked to are now on the far right?
