While the concept of a salon may be traditional, this particular one can only be described as "late century cyberpunk frat." Over by the patio is a slate-gray pool table perched on construction girders, and out on the lawn is a sensory-deprivation chamber. The garage is less a garage than a World Wide Web command post. Hiding among the overstuffed sofas and comic- book art in the living room are a video-game power glove, the latest issue of Rolling Stone and a Yoda mask. The dining room is dominated by a psychedelic poster from...
...Sung painters, their renderings of mountain landscape--awesome in scale but without theatrical drama, the bare crags rising in swirls and convulsions of gray ink as the background to intensely seen trees and tiny human figures--achieved a relationship between notation and object that would make any draftsman, Eastern or Western, faint with envy. The blots, scribbles, hatchings, scumblings and flicks of the brush build up a world of microforms that seems at once abstract and dense with specific experience.

While his urge to control is maniacal, he appears to want powers even grander than a mere title like CEO could bestow. The operations of Gracen & Gracen, "a family company," are shrouded in mystery.

...Palestinian residents of the camps, "hope had grown gray hairs": hope that they will one day live dignified lives; hope that their children will play and not come home smelling of sewage. It is morally reprehensible to turn a blind eye to this suffering and despair. It is also foolish. These children are the very ones who turn themselves into the human bombs: They have nothing to live for, and there are plenty of zealots who convince them that there is everything to die for. It is not Islam that preaches that message; it is the dehumanizing misery that causes...
