![]() ![]() ![]() It is my request, as the author, that you avoid looking at these unless you’ve read the entire novel. In fact, some of these spoilers reveal important plot twists later in the book. Not every chapter has spoiler text, but many do. So, if you’ve finished chapter four, then you should be safe reading up to annotation number four.Īt the top left corner, you’ll see a check box and a button you can use to turn on the ‘hidden’ spoiler text for each chapter. ![]() However, I try very hard not to give anything away that doesn’t have to do with chapters already read. Though I’ve taken efforts to hide any spoilers, I worry that pausing after each chapter and reading my annotation would slow the reading process down and make the book less enjoyable. Ideally, I think these would be best read by someone who has completed the entire novel–used as a companion, perhaps, during someone’s second read-through. They give a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ information relating to the writing process, the concepts and characters of ELANTRIS, and whatever else I was thinking about at the time!

It seeks general comment on how the FCC’s regulatory process “can be made more efficient and timely,” and poses specific questions on whether a mediation-type process could be created to more quickly address conflicts between parties. The Technical Inquiry is focused on obtaining feedback about technical rules that are obsolete or in need of updates or consolidation, and necessary changes to better reflect the current needs of the industry. The issue it aims to address in the Technical Inquiry is the FCC’s constant struggle with the question of how to provide for fast regulatory approvals of new technologies, while still meeting its statutory obligation to protect the public interest, including the well-being of consumers and the efficient use of spectrum. Comprised of very smart industry engineers, academics, and other technological leaders who provide technical advice to the FCC, the TAC aims to provide useful guidance to the FCC on its technical rules and the status of emerging technologies. The FCC’s Technological Advisory Council (TAC) has initiated a Technical Inquiry into reforming the FCC’s technical regulations.

Kahn’s book moved back and forth between the early 1950s, when he covered the Dodgers for the New York Herald Tribune, and 20 years later, when some were ailing (Jackie Robinson), embittered (Carl Furillo) or in a wheelchair (Roy Campanella). “The Boys of Summer” was a story of lost youth, right down to its title, later borrowed for a hit Don Henley song about a man longing for his past. “At a point in life when one is through with boyhood, but has not yet discovered how to be a man, it was my fortune to travel with the most marvelously appealing of teams,” Kahn wrote. ![]() ![]() The author of 20 books and hundreds of articles, Kahn was best known for the 1972 best-seller that looked at his relationship with his father through their shared love of the Dodgers, an object of nostalgia for the many fans who mourned the team’s move to Los Angeles after the 1957 season.
