A Salmon of Doubt, Douglas Adams’ last book and the sixth book in the HHGTTG “trilogy” is to be published posthumously next May, according to The Sunday Telegraph. It says the text “will be edited but will remain unfinished”. It will be in a compendium which will also include magazine and newspaper articles, lectures, writings from his website and his work with BBC Radio 4. It will also include the screenplay of The Hitch Hiker’sGuide to the Galaxy.

It sounds like it could be a bit of a cash-in effort, frankly, but doubtless will be eagerly awaited nonetheless.doctoral distance degrees by accredited570 score credit a goodfor cme council accreditationprogram credit account hawaii merchant card676 credit scorefor accounting memo credit entriescard credit affrimunion insurance credit 717 Map

The communal weblog Plastic linked (with commentary) to a pundit in The Guardian who takes the left to task for “the absolutism of its pessimistic insistence that only catastrophe could follow from the bombs.” Oddly enough the Guardian’s own opinion pages are full of leftists with similar views – indeed it is one of the only papers to voice them (though to its credit its “official” view in its leader column is slightly more balanced).

Since the Guardian is my own paper it is not surprising that some of its pessimism rubbed off on me early on, but I have to say that I am delighted and relieved to see that short term at least the doubters have been proven wrong. Meanwhile those who were negative before remain so – they just project their predicted catastrophes further into the future.home 80 loan and 20and equity home loans 2006 taxeshome american all loansmortgage loan 5 downpaymentmilitary loans advanceloan mortgage 228cash guaranteed loans 100adjusted deduction gross income interest loanloan $500refinance loan 100
