The Daleth Effect by Harry Harrison

Who can be trusted with protecting the secret of the potentially
apocalyptic Daleth Effect? Only plucky Demark!

This is late because someone sabotaged the infrastructure on which
my access to the internet depends.

Harrison actually lived in Denmark for seven years, and knew the country
fairly well for a foreigner. Somewhere he said that he left because if
he stayed one more year he'd never leave.

Ah footnote two. The "Anti Imperialist Alliance" and their fanatical
devotion to Albania, once they had to give up on China.

I had a few beers with their Parliamentary candidate, Jules Grajower.
We had a good conversation covering topics like WWII, Bertrand Russell,
and quantum mechanics (despite their rejection of the USSR, the AIA was
big on Lysenko and other Stalinist scientific nonsense). Albania,
fortunately, never came up. Even obsessives have to relax now and
again, I suppose.

A friend got labelled a nazi by their paper. I had more fun, but he won
that round (he was, in fact, quite liberal).

I wonder how many of the AIA people I talked to are now on the far right?

I tracked down their prof mentor, whose name escapes me. He is using
his twilight years to hammer away at Alberta's eugenics laws, pointing
out the ways in which those were based on crap science. There are worse
uses of time.

Given that they were completely insane on genetics (see Lysenko above)
this is a far more rational activity than I would have expected.

Their letters column was a foretaste of usenet flame wars, not as
stylish as the flame wars of Thomas More and Erasmus (not with each
other, of course) but mercifully shorter.

Huh. I guess they define "Nazi" as "Anyone to the right of Enver Hoxa".

Basically anybody who scored a point against them in debate.

Essentially everyone, that is.
