Of course, Easterbrook uses other sources. Don't we all?

Uh, ... well, ... we usually give credit. ... Maybe this explains it better: (wav or mp3)

LOL. You are a pretty good counter-puncher. Easterbrook is pretty good at referring to sources, and I assume he does so extensively in his books. But he was writing for Time. Just like the Saltonstalls (or is it the Chafees?) only speak to the Lodges, and the Lodges only to God, here Easterbrook is speaking only to Time, with Time only speaking to God. Time has that Olympian self confidence, that if it publishes it, one need not refer to other mere mortals for authenticity. That would be looking down, when Time looks only up.
