understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge.

Clouds of Glory was conceived and written in 1983-84 and copyrighted in the files of the Library of Congress. Registration Number/Date: TXu 203-171/12 July 1985. Attached at the end are 100 pages of newspaper quotes matching in detail, in identical parallels, sometimes word for word, the historical event described within Clouds of Glory, the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thereby predating the event by years.
