In the process, Heyerdahl established himself as an almost mythic hero. He built a balsa-log raft, the Kon-Tiki, and in one of the great ocean adventures of the 20th century, he and his small crew made the harrowing 4,300-mile voyage from Peru to French Polynesia. In 1947, Heyerdahl risked his life attempting to prove his point. Academics scoffed, particularly at his idea that the islands of the mid-Pacific had been colonized by way of South America, rather than by Polynesians from the western Pacific. He believed that, long before Columbus, early ocean travelers-tall, fair-skinned, redheaded Vikings much like himself-spread human culture to the most remote corners of the earth. Thor Heyerdahl, who died in April at the age of 87, spent much of an active and sometimes inspiring life in the thrall of one good story. ![]() So it’s easy to forget the second great lesson of fieldwork: beware of a story that’s just a little too good.

Once again, Stross combines the most hilarious parts of British bureaucracy with the spoofiest of James Bond spoofs. If that’s not bad enough, Bob’s boss, Angleton, goes missing, and Bob is suspended from work with pay pending an investigation into a civilian fatality he accidentally caused. (One guess what this entity does.) The cultists are being manipulated by a bigger, badder, blacker order that wants to bring on CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN (also known as the end of the world) sooner rather than later. In The Fuller Memorandum, Bob and Mo become tangled up in a plot by some cultists to steal Teapot, also known as the Eater of Souls. The two series have a lot in common: each book is a self-contained, madcap thriller with supernatural elements while overall, the series mythology continues to grow and head towards some kind of apocalyptic climax. It’s starting to rank up there with the Dresden Files as far as urban fantasy goes. It’s safe to say that the Laundry Files is my favourite of Charles Stross’ series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With his passing, Gwen Ifill talks to Time magazine's Joe.

About the Author: Richard Ben Cramer's magazine articles have appeared in Rolling Stone and Esquire, and have been anthologized in Best American Essays. Cleveland Plain Dealer An American Iliad in the guise of contemporary political reportage, What It Takes penetrates the mystery at the heart of all presidential campaigns: How do presumably ordinary people acquire that mixture of ambition, stamina, and pure shamelessness that makes a true candidate? As he recounts the frenzied course of the 1988 presidential race - and scours the psyches of contenders from George Bush and Robert Dole to Michael Dukakis and Gary Hart - Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer comes up with the answers, in a book that is vast, exhaustively researched, exhilarating, and sometimes appalling in its revelations. Quite possibly the finest book on presidential politics ever written, combining meticulous reporting and compelling, at times soaringly lyrical, prose. He would keep his promise, or die trying, and the book he wrote was not just the best-ever about a political campaign, it was one of best ever about men trying to be the best ever: about ambition. ![]() ![]() ![]() Alice Sheldon, one of Washington’s two supremely influential sf writers.
