Different excerpt. This one is more faithful.

The Cat shows up early.

That said, leaving out the Hunt For Red October quote is a mistake. Not the least because Clancy himself was a quasi-Genius. I say that because in reading through his books he clearly knew more about just about every field than I did with the probable exceptions of Theology, Philosophy, and Economics, where he talked a good game but was actually in over his head-—FWIW those are the three fields I hold degrees in, so I suspect he has other flaws I can’t detect.

I’ll listen with interest to such people, but in the end I’m not drawing any conclusions.
