Kipling and Smith (not used in 2015)

Rudyard Kipling in youth, and a bit older (1926).

Kipling's "With the Night Mail" (1905), the prequel to "As Easy as A. B. C."

British India in Kipling's youth.

Suspicion of democratic governance, and fear of mob rule, goes back a long way.

One memorable problem with mob rule.

Democracy is great!

The Wright brothers' Simms Station flight school in 1911. Manufacturing Wright brothers airplanes in 1910. Models Ds over New York in 1910.

Another influential work by Paul M. A. Linebarger, a.k.a. Cordwainer Smith.

Part of Smith's former day job.

More stories online by Cordwainer Smith, from the "official" fan site (run by his daughter).

Smith's memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.

Nearly random example of a linear graph.
