We're up to 220 fans of Tom's Facebook page. I thought I was probably shooting a little too low with my goal of 200. Good job, people!

Today's testimony comes from Marauder Doc:

One of Tom's Department of Energy converts taught a nuclear weapons course at UC Davis. He showed the C-span version of the brief and I immediately went online seeking more information and found the blog. Oddly enough, up until that point I had never before even heard about PNM, even though I was an International Relations major. I had seen a few things on the "Arc of Instability" in my military science courses, but I didn't "get it" until I saw Tom's brief. Since then, I have essentially made "shrinking the gap" my life's personal and vocational goal.

What promising young person do you know, like MD above, who could really benefit from Tom's realistic and optimistic vision for the world? Buy 'em a book! And remember, Tom will sign it or send you an inscription for them.

You've already ordered your copy, right?
