An Uber driver offered me his hand to help me out of the car. I took it and said 'How charming!' to him. He blushed and giggled and grinned from ear to ear. That was even more charming!

"Perhaps someday you can have one city as easy to see as Illusions and as hard to forget as Reality," Milo remarked.

"That will happen only when you bring back Rhyme and Reason," said Alec, smiling, for he had seen right through Milo's plans.

And this was an academic, who should have known better. Is this a historian not understanding what archaeology or heritage is? Who am I kidding, of course he knew.

Australia is a signatory to the Moon Agreement. So why are we not spearheading a campaign to establish an international regime to regulate the exploitation of lunar resources according to Article 11.5?
