Yeah, that's the book I was talking about! But I have that book at home, not
here at work, so I wasn't able to look it up.
Are Comer's books still popularly used in networking classes? We used them
when I was in grad school, but that was 10 years ago and Comer taught the
class, so it was unlikely that we'd use someone else's books...

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
