UCLA, in big games, is not, and never has been, a well-coached team. I just wonder how many more years it'll be like this before Cori Close relinquishes the whiteboard or the athletics department gets tired

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
