"But you won't make the permanent impression unless you supply dozens of opportunities for him to exercise the control he thus acquires. Make sure these opportunities don't always come at the same time of the day, else he may learn to observe the 'quiet hour' and pursue his old routines at other times."

About The Usenet Project:

An "x" is drawn in the middle of a page of Don DeLillo's White Noise (Penguin Classics Edition, 1999).  The first three, sometimes four, words (excluding articles and prepositions) that intersect the lines of this "x" from its cross are fed into Google's Usenet index, which now dates back to 1981.  On even-numbered days, the most recent Google entry is used, using Google's "sort by date" function."  On odd-numbered days, the first Google entry to appear is used, anything from 1981 to the present.  A new posting will be included every week -- an archive of radiant rants, habits, and hobbies.  Thanks to Bernadette Mayer's "X on Page 50 at half inch intervals."
