I'm devastated at the loss of Ismail Gulgee, a great man, and Pakistan's most celebrated artist. The horror of his murder, followed so closely by the assassination of Benazir, has left all of us wondering how Pakistan can survive.
May God, Protector of all, protect Pakistan.

away from 3 Quarks Daily, to the point of neglecting my work. Congratulations on
this superb site."—Steven
Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University.
"I have placed 3 Quarks Daily at the head of my list of web bookmarks."—Richard
Dawkins, Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University.
