Aww, Stephen Jay Gould! <3 I've read a lot of his essay collections, and also Full House and Wonderful Life. He is such an excellent writer that he can even make me care about baseball statistics, which he uses as an illustration of a statistical phenomenon in Full House (a very good book!). I haven't read the one you review here, however.

I have the Broster short story open in a tab and am looking forward to it a lot.
