working on Macintosh computers, found machines outfitted with 
six-year-old versions of Microsoft software. Laptops were scarce, 
assigned to only a few people in the West Wing.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
