Seeking Kleos
Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, quoted in a webpage dated
October 7, 2014 (presumably according to Australian time):
"For the Athenians, kleos mattered more than anything,
according to Goldstein.
'Kleos is fame: it’s the deed that brings fame, it’s the poem
that sings your triumphs, it’s having your life replicated in
other minds, acquiring a kind of moreness, a kind of
secular immortality.' "

Space Cowboy
From yesterday's Seattle Times—
According to police, employees of a Second Avenue mission said the suspect, clad in black and covered in duct tape, had come into the mission "and threatened to blow the place up." He then told staffers "that he was a vampire and wanted to eat people."
The man… also called himself "a space cowboy"….
This suggests two film titles…

subcubes in the (Galois) 3×3×3 cube–
