Aren't you describing politics? Yeah, listen, don't get me wrong, 1 am not saying Roberts, Barrett, and Kavanaugh are pure beings who never consider politics. But I think there's a difference between institutional politics and engineering policy-real-world outcomes, right? Institutional politics happens every day bety een and among all nine Justices, right? But look, if Roberts's goal was to undermine the wide perception that this is just a hopelessly, ideologically split 6-3 Court, I think he made progress in that. I think he's got several powerful exhibits he can point to. Now, whether his motivation was simply to calm the Court's critics, or to do something else, 1 don't know.

THE LACK OF ELECTRICITY meant that the days of the people of the Hill Country were filled with drudgery; at night they were denied the entertain-ment-movies, radio—-that would have made the drudgery more bearable. The radio could, moreover, have ended the area's isolation. The feeling of the Hill Country youngsters of the 1920's—Lyndon Johnson's generation-that "we were completely cut off out here," that "we were back in the woods, compared to the rest of the world" that everything had already happened before we found out about it." was the feeling of the 1930'S generation as well. Because there was no electricity, the only radios in the Hill Country were the occasional crystal sets with earphones and poor reception. Amos 'n' Andy, Lum 'n' Abner, Ma Perkins-theirs were voices familiar to most of America; it was a rare inhabitant of the Edwards Plateau who had heard them even once. "What we missed most was the fireside chats," says Mary Cox. *I mean, we loved Franklin D. Roosevelt in this country, and we kept reading about these wonderful fireside chats. But we never got to hear them." Even reading was hard. Evening was often the only time in which Hill Country farm couples could read ("There was no other time," says Lucille O'Donnell. "There was never a minute to read during the day, it seemed"), but the only light for reading came from kerosene lamps. In movies about the Old West, these lamps appear so homy that it is difficult for a city dweller to appreciate how much—and why-some farm dwellers disliked them so passionately. Lighting the kerosene lamp was a frustrating job. "You had to adjust the wick just right," says Curtis Cox of Bryan. "If you turned it too high, it would flame up and start to smoke. The chimney-that's the glass part-would get all black, and your eyes would start to smart." Keeping it lit was even more frustrating. It burned straight across for only a moment, and then would either flare up or die down to an inadequate level. Even when the wick…
WASHDAY WAS MoNDAY. Tuesday was for ironing Says Mary Cox, in words echoed by all elderly Hill Country farm wives: "Washing was hard work, but ironing was the worst. Nothing could ever be as hard as ironing." The Department of Agriculture finds that "Young women today are not aware of the origin of the word iron,' as they press clothes with lightweight appliances of aluminum or hollow stainless steel." In the Hill Coun-try, in the 1930's an iron was iron—a six- or seven-pound wedge of iron. The irons used in the Hill Country had to be heated on the wood stove, and they would retain their heat for only a few minutes—a man's shirt generally required two irons; a farm wife would own three or four of them, so that several could be heating while one was working. An iron with a wooden handle cost two dollars more than one without the handle, so Hill Country wives did their weekly loads of ironing-huge loads because; as Mary Cox puts it, "in those days you were expected to starch and iron almost every-thing"-with irons without handles. They would either transfer a separate wooden handle from one iron to another, or they would protect their hands with a thick potholder. Since burning wood generates soot, the irons became dirty as they sat heating on the stove. Or, if any moisture was left on an iron from the sprinkled clothes on which it had just been used, even the thinnest smoke from the stove created a muddy film on the bottom. The irons had to be cleaned frequently, therefore, by scrubbing them with a rag that had been dipped in salt, and if the soot was too thick, they had to be sanded and scraped. And no matter how carefully you checked the bottom of the irons, and sanded and scraped them, there would often remain some little spot of soot—as you would discover when you rubbed it over a clean white shirt or dress. Then you had to wash that item of clothing over again. Nevertheless, the irons would burn a woman's hand. The wooden handle or the potholder would slip, and …

The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe. Unfortunately this Electric Monk had developed a fault, and had started to believe all kinds of things, more or less at random. It was even beginning to believe things they'd have difficulty believing in Salt Lake City. It had never heard of Salt Lake City, of course. Nor had it ever heard of a quingigillion, which was roughly the number of miles between this valley and the Great Salt Lake of Utah. From Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams

Online, hacky sack has become an elaborate inside joke, with hundreds of accounts cheekily treating the game as a varsity sport. They post interscholastic rankings and announce when students "commit" to fictional hacky sack programs at Division I colleges. "We have a varsity and a J.V. team, which we made rosters for," said Riley Walters, 18, a senior at the Potomac School in McLean, Va. Her friend Nathalia Kellett, 18, uploads the group's best tricks to the "Potomac Women's Seck" account she runs on Instagram. Beyond the jokes, Kellett said she enjoyed the communal nature of the game and how approachable it was for new players.
