n Robert Manning's 1954 interview of Ernest Hemingway,
published in the August 1965 edition of the Atlantic Monthly,
the famous author said, “Every man should have a built-in,
automatic crap detector operating inside him. It also should
have a manual drill and a crank handle in case the machine
breaks down.”
Indicative of how strongly Hemingway felt about this, in a later
interview with George Plimpton, published in the Paris Review,
he called it [the machine referred to above] "a built-in,
shockproof, shit detector."
Some 2500 years before that, Confucius had made a similar observation
when he said, “It's a great art to know how to sell wind."
But it's even a greater art to know how to recognize wind when
you hear or read it.
And so as a public service, we undertook to provide you with
just such a “device” – a built-in, automatic
crap detector that enables you to recognize wind when you hear
or read it.
