"Take the nearest book and turn to page 123 and find the fifth sentence, then publish the next four."
OK.
That'd be Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism, by a certain Mr B Anderson, which I'm meant to be reading for, oh, that thing that's due in NEXT WEEK.
"Nationalist leaders are thus in a position consciously to deploy civil and military educational systems modelled on official nationalisms..."
Oh GOD. I can't do it. That sentence goes on for nearly a PAGE.
