A belaying pin also makes a handy cudgel-like weapon.

Brecht
9, Berthold Brecht (10 February 1898 – 14 August 1956) — a German poet, playwright, theatre director, and Marxist — incorporated cinematic projection into the theatre as a way to get past the interpersonal limitations of drama (towards the social overview of the epic), hence simulataneous action. He called his drama "epic theatre" for this very reason. He 'solves' the crisis of dramatic form.

Bush family
53, and the Saudis; Craig Unger asserts in his 2004 book House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties that the groundwork for today's terrorist movements and the modern wars that have sprung up about them was unintentionally laid more than 30 years ago with a series of business deals between the ruling Saudis and the powerful Bush family. The Saudis received investments and military protection in exchange for cooperation on lucrative oil deals. The author claims that the result has been a shady alliance between "the world's two most powerful dynasties." Unger writes, "Never before has an American president been so closely tied to a foreign power that harbors and supports our country's mortal enemies."
