The two symbols on the monolith

Images of time and eternity in a 1x4x9 black monolith

may, if one likes, be interpreted 
as standing for Damnation Morning 
and for the Windmill of Time.

From the Harvard Graduate School of Design's introduction
to a lecture on All Souls' Day 2015 —

"Calvin Klein is an award-winning fashion icon.
He is recognized globally as a master of minimalism
and has spent his career distilling things to
their very essence. His name ranks among the
best-known brands in the world, with Calvin Klein, Inc.
reaching over seven billion dollars in global retail sales."

The New York Times  today reports that Doctor Reason
died on Feb. 5 (the date of the Log24 post "Axiom Attics:

An illustration from the Axiom Attics post linked to on March 13 —

Clay Risen in The New York Times  yesterday, in reporting the March 13
death of a Mother-Jones-cofounding journalist . . .

"In between editing investigative journalism, he wrote
a science fiction thriller, The Black Hole Affair  (1991)."

The description at Amazon.com of that thriller —

The Black Hole Affair Paperback – January 1, 1991

by Jeffrey Klein (Author)

Zebra Books, 1991. Mass market paperback, stated first Zebra printing, August 1991. (SBN 0-8217-3470-9) Embossed wrappers with foil lettering. Good copy, back wrapper scuffed. thight copy, unread.

It was the orbital weapon powerful enough to destroy entire nations. The Pentagon would kill anyone who tried to expose the lethal secrets of the Black Hole Affair. "Klein knows more about Silicon Valley's Dark Side than anyone!" — Mike Malone, PBS. "'The Black Hole Affair' captures the terror of our times!" — Mike Weiss, Edgar Award Winner. The Black Hole Affair, code name for a super secret Star Wars weapons program powerful enough to destroy America's enemies in minutes and reduce half the earth to a nuclear wasteland. The most closely guarded military program ever funded by the Pentagon's infamous "black budget" — only two men knew its true power and would kill to protect it. The deadliest government conspiracy in U.S. history, it was the story of a lifetime for Silicon Valley's investigative reporter Eli Franklin, that if if he lived long enough to tell it. Fiction.

"Jeffrey, Calvin … Calvin, Jeffrey."
