There's a DVD that's been sitting in its jewel box on my desk for a few years (I've been busy​-​no time to tidy up), and the other day, after reading through two brand-new books about Barack Obama, one admiring, the other ferociously disapproving, I snapped the cellophane at last and slid the disk into my computer drive.

When you're a kid, surfaces are made to be doodled on. Walls are crayon-canvases; wooden tables seem naked without some colorful finger paint prettying them up. It takes a while -- from parents' perspective, a very long while -- for us to learn to contain our innovational impulses.

"A date which will live in infamy." Overly dramatic? Perhaps. But given the shocking news that has come our way over the last 14 to 16 hours, I think not. Surely you know the news by now.

If you've used Siri yourself, however, you know the disclaimer of "Sequences shortened" is more than an understatement. They've edited out the inevitable "No....NO....NO!"

Starred Review* Atlantic correspondent Fallows dives into this most timely subject and, in brisk yet erudite language, takes readers on a tour of China's burgeoning aviation industry.
