She has to go to the bathroom. For reasons obscure to me, this is presented as the decisive proof of hypocrisy[.]
In addition to its other dimensions, then, Richard’s response is a statement that can be formulated mathematically, and in symbols that adumbrate the binary system behind today’s computer technology: “1, 0, 0, 1 for 1 must 0 be.”
The weighing pans of this balance scale contain zero objects, divided into two equal groups.

oooh. what’s the book about?
The Shakespeare Wars? Basically it’s about academic disputes over Shakespeare, stuff like whether certain texts are or aren’t by Shakespeare, or how different texts of a given play should be combined, or whether Shakespeare should be printed with original spelling – “boring” textual stuff, as opposed to the usual disputes the public hears about who Shakespeare was as a person. But the author, Ron Rosenbaum, thinks that these “boring” disputes actually have really interesting implications and that the public deserves to know about them.
It’s a very fun, breezy book, written in an entertaining style with lots of puns and bad jokes. Rosenbaum can get overly excited about pretty tenuous hypotheses at times but as a whole the book is a lot of fun.
(If you’re asking about the source of the Lawrence quotation, I have no idea – I can’t find it on Google.)
