From a reader:

Peter:
Very nice allusion to The Brothers Karamazov, but what I’m feeling tonight is best epitomized by the title of the chapter before The Grand Inquisitor, which, if I remember correctly, was called Rebellion.

Judging from my inbox, this reader is scarcely alone. What a pleasure — at this hour, what a profound consolation and pleasure — to learn that that there are so many Americans whose first impulse is to fight the hell back.
