From “Kazoo Dreamboats”

Or, On What There Is.
By J. H. Prynne.

[...] The play of unity
as a mental device sides with denial of its self-image, contracted
to open a hazard sentence with subject deletion at null point of
its entry. To speak of forgiveness, a cloud may be forgiven yet
not forgive, participate to shed excuse by transfer to ransom, and
yet still the moral apex is contested, generic virtue just a name
for the apex above its snowy brow shedding its tribute with a sound
but half its own, things by dielectric bonding, its outside voltage
source proportional to and opposite in sign to the charge delivered
by the intervening material to its outer boundaries: and what wert
thou, like this brooding vapour, if no more than vacant, than no
more is more because than is the limit to love, of its favourite
name, the check for chicken in a basket. Don’t end there for
Brent-crude declension ever uppermost by famous agent out of reach
captured to line enhancement, word lackage at horizon long for
longing and dredged with ethic partaken: zero point flooded with
lunar shadow across the eyelid. [...]

From “Total War 2006″

By Simon Pearson.

The mission conducted by B2-007 Spirit of St Louis was typical of the twenty-five other missions flown by the available B-2s that fateful night. B-2s flying from as far afield as Guam, the Azzores and the UK spearheaded the campaign’s first wave. This also included F-117s flying from Turkey, Italy, Greece, Spain, Cyprus and Bahrain, and cruise-missile-carrying B-52s flying from the US, the UK and Diego Garcia, as well as cruise missile launches from submarines and guided missile cruisers in the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas. The target sets chosen in every country from Morocco to Iran were the power stations, electricity substations ad other elements of the national power grids. The Western air power theorists had been waiting many decades for an opportunity to do just this. There was a school of thought that persisted with the theory that had the US Army Air Farce and RAF’s Bomber Command in World War II targeted German power sources alone, and continuously, this would have had a far greater and more immediate effect on German military and industrial production than was actually achieved by the combination of precision daylight and night fire-storm methods.
