The Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious late mediæval text, written in an unknown script in an unknown language or cypher. It reads as if written fluently, not by someone who was painfully calculating each next character, but by someone who understood what he was writing. It looks like a curious herbal or alchemical treatise, full of diagrams of unknown plants, unknown constellations, and elaborate networks of plumbing inhabited by plump, naked, crowned women.

MB was asking about a protest scheduled at 26 Federal Plaza today. It's going on now, and seems to be tied in to immigrant/alien registration deadlines now looming. It's a small gathering, taking up the sidewalk for about half of the block in front of the building on Broadway. It's well behaved and closely, though not oppressively, policed. Traffic on Broadway continues as usual. Top prop is a multi-person parade snake labeled USA Patriot Act. I didn't catch the Islamic prayers that MB mentioned, and I can't really make out all the speeches, but they have the usual tone: too harsh, too much call and response for my taste. But it's not like they don't have legitimate complaints. The protest is dwarfed by the line of registrants & others with INS business who must wait in the cold before being allowed to enter the building. I've seen these people being treated like cattle for years, and I don't mean like Kobe beef cattle. The Voice has an article on the phenomenon of this line. Read the article, 'cause I doubt you'll see much news coverage of the event.

Perhaps they could call it Poisonville National Park. Poisonville. That's the name Dashiell Hammett, America's hardboiled Dante, gave to Butte in Red Harvest, his strange nocturnal novel of corruption and corporate filth. "The city wasn't pretty," writes Hammett on the opening page of Red Harvest. "Most of its builders had gone in for gaudiness. Maybe they had been successful at first. Since then the smelters whose brick stacks struck up tall against a gloomy mountain to the south had yellow-smudge everything into uniform dinginess. The result was an ugly city of forty thousand people, set in an ugly notch between two ugly mountains that had been all dirtied up by mining. Spread over this was grimy sky that looked as if it had come out of the smelters' stacks."
