We got into the car, the car "dinged," and the radio came on. A voice said the following: "Countdown! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" The radio program, a talk show, continued... "In order to build up a country, you need technology and research." If THIS wasn't enough, the speaker went on to talk about "empiricism!" Empire...the computer game from which there is no escape! --Lynn
