Mike, I'm glad you liked "From the Ruins." I usually prefer lighter pieces, but this one was so powerful and so well-written that I make an exception for it. I like Nan's writing, and when I get a chance, I will try out "A Matter of Ethics". Thanks for the recommendation.
I, of course, prefer the more upbeat stories myself but this one was as you say so powerful. I expect Anti-K's to have a similar feel as the situation is quite similar. Nan's stories are almost always upbeat and positive. That story is no different, it also a great Lois/Martha bonding story which I always like.
Mike
