Parts of this blog are excerpts from an upcoming book as I now envision it, in installments. The good news is that reading it this way is free. Plus you get to factcheck me. At some point, the book will come out in hard copy. Meanwhile, I've decided to put pieces up on the web and take comments, factual corrections, and random abuse. Send all but the last to fact.check.baker@gmail.com.
