The thing I've always found most mysterious about the Texas Schoolbook
Depository is its sheer size.   How could a place like Texas, globally
unsurpassed as a hotbed of anti-intellectualism, possibly possess
enough school texts to fill a seven-story building as bulky as the
Texas Schoolbook Depository?  It's easier to imagine a platoon or more
of snipers on the famous grassy knoll than to envision Texas needing
that much room to stash schoolbooks.
