here i am, baby

I just emailed in a paper that I hate more than any other paper I've turned in. This is not because it's rhetoric-heavy and done in a rush -- I have done papers under worse conditions, and for reasons less solid than "grief combined with actual responsibilities" -- but because the book I'm writing on is historically bankrupt. It's by Richard Pipes, and it's called The Degaev Affair. It's extremely well-written, it makes an interesting point about the origins of terrorism, and every fucking word of it is source hash.
