...In 1936, she visited the Soviet Union, and came back shattered by what she had seen and heard...
...But the "organization" remains...
...Her conversations with high-ranking nkvd officials, her thumbnail sketches of people like Richard Sorge, George Mueller and many others who met with untimely deaths either at the hands of their former friends, or their enemies'--or their own--are among the most compelling that I have ever read...
...She was inordinately attached to Reiss, as well as to his wife and son, depending on him as much for moral support as for occasional small time intelligence jobs...

...Others made their decision deliberately, as an expression of well-nigh religious atonement...
...Why should she...&gt; I find that bit interesting. Wouldn't you be sitting wherever you were, flying exactly the ship you had, doing whatever it was you were doing, while you wait for the transfer to conclude, regardless of however long it took? If that's not interesting, why were you there doing that with that ship in the first place?

I'm mostly thinking about long transfers. For example, when there is a community goal 300 LY from your main base and you have a choice between flying for 3 hours with a combat ship that has a 9 LY range, or using a Hauler Taxi. If you use a Hauler Taxi and there is a transfer time, well, you'll have nothing to do until your ship arrives at the station. And if it takes 3 hours... Then the whole ship transfer function is 100% worthless. Same result, except more expensive. 

&gt;And if so, do you feel this is any worse than when reloading/refueling/repairing takes you away from bounty hunting, for example?

 As for reloading, it's an inconvenience but it's also a tradeoff : you have multicannons but you have to reload them, it's a choice. And usually, it's a minor inconvenience - it interrupts you for 10 minutes or so, if there is a station near your hunting grounds (if not, you need to change your hunting grounds). Having to travel to a very far away community goal, however, takes considerably longer than 10 minutes and is a major inconvenience. And it's not a tradeoff or a choice between X or Y : you don't have any choice, you have to go to the CG to participate. Most of the time, I just decide to not participate because it's too far and not worth the hassle.hoot. put your hands together for someone. snap / click your fingers. snort. stamp your foot. tut. tut-tut. ululate. whistle at.

Apr 15, · Donna Summer is back and "Stamp your feet" is the lead single proper off her forthcoming CD Crayons due out May 20th. This follows the club hit "I'm a fire" which topped Billboard's Hot dance club play charts (her 13th #1 there), in the process making her the only artist ever to have topped those charts in every decade from the seventies to date.4/5(24).Although it's not a disaster, Lucky Me is a dull and surprisingly dreary little musical. Not dreary in terms of atmosphere, but in terms of originality and vitality. It boasts a hoary plot, but that by itself isn't the problem; many better musicals have been
