Often it is precisely those places in culture that appear politically innocent that are at the end of the day the most politically charged.
Alexander R. Galloway

Phil Truman
The general’s daughter swept into the room like an angelic visitation. Never seen such a vision of the feminine in my life. It hit me between the eyes like someone pressed a live telegraph wire to the back of my head. She came amongst us boys so coquettish and alight with laughter that we all took on dumbfounded stupidity, not quite knowing what to say or how to act.
Phil Truman, Dire Wolf of the Quapaw: a Jubal Smoak Mystery
