"We're more of the blood, love, and rhetoric crowd. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three, concurrent or consecutive. But we can't do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory."

Just ordered the two Chabon novels. Ashamed to admit I wasn't aware of them, but they're right in my wheelhouse.

Kirk was CONSTANTLY out-debated. He only ever showed the clips where he trounces ill-informed college students.
