the political rancor that somehow got out of hand" —

line?

other, but that's okay.

bust, feel the theory of natural selection is a bad choice or believe the

their guide to factual enlightenment: Condensed Knowledge. It's fortified
with random data, chock full of delectable trivia and loaded with mentally
nutritious empirical
truth—and
it tastes good too!
Nick Sagan's voice is on golden records carried by the two Voyager space probes,
over 6 billion miles away and currently en route out of the Solar System. As a
child he sent greetings from the children of Earth. Unfortunately, the
spacecraft also carry directions that could be used by alien slavers to find
our backward world. A former writer for the Star Trek franchise, he has
just published a new sci-fi book, Idlewild.
The universe is way bigger than your head. Find out more about
places that, short of alien abduction and its requisite anal probing, you'll
never get to visit.
