I knew what the fourth estate was, but I read a lot of Heinlein when I was young. Hugz. “If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.” (http://www2.ed.gov/pubs/NatAtRisk/risk.html)

No word yet from Paul Constant, the “book guy.” But I ran into someone on the street who works for The Stranger, and I’ve updated the story with the tale of that encounter. I also changed the title. Sadly, nobody knew what “the fourth estate” is (it’s the press).

Yes, here's the Stranger's website. They call themselves "Seattle's Only Newspaper," but you don't have to be in Seattle to appreciate their great writing.

Margaret Meps Schulte, you are one of those blessed people who do whatever it is by nature. Marketing is not always a dirty word, even for me. The book is a natural extension of you. Marketing or movement, it’s just what you do.

I’m not marketing. I’m trying to start a movement. PLEASE!

Yeah…and my next sentence after that was “Did you put a link to your book in that essay?” At which point Margaret said “Gotta Go. Bye.” …. and called me back later after doing that.
