I just met with an FBI agent who's doing a background check on C, of N&C, because his job involves working with research for "sensitive" government projects (e.g., military).
She was perfectly friendly, but the advent of phrases like "the government's attitude" or "the government's feeling" about this or that struck me as just plain weird. And the questions, some of them, definitely made the global leftie in me bristle.
Thing two: a friend of mine from college, too infrequently connected with, points out the resonance between Battlestar Galactica and a number of C.J. Cherryh's SF space novels (which I turned him onto way back when). I'd never thought of it, but it's very true. Especially books like Heavy Time, Rimrunners, and etc. Cool.
