[MR] Face Thrusts

[Jonathan Blackbow]

what, precisely, is a "one off" incident?  ...having never heard that phrase 
before...

Jonathan Blackbow



There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, 
or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction 
of a new order of things.
-Niccolo M.
