Texas State University /All Locations. The Gore Vidal Index. Untitled. In the years since the Sept. 11, 2001, destruction of the World Trade Center, Gore Vidal has written two best-selling books on the subject. Each book contains an original lead essay on the attack and a few other previously published essays on related topics. Together they make up Vidal's controversial - even incendiary - canon on a day that changed American culture and, Vidal claims, brought home to roost a set of historic tides and circumstances that he claims to have foreseen for decades.

The first of these books, Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got To Be So Hated, appeared in the U.S. in April 2002 and quickly became a bestseller. Less than a year later, Vidal published a second book: Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and The Cheney-Bush Junta. Although these books are available for sale, virtually all of their original, Sept. 11-related content is available on the internet.

The human-rabbit association can be traced back to the biblical era, as exemplified by passages in the books Leviticus (Lev. 11:5) and Deuteronomy (De. 14:7), which make reference to saphan, the Hebrew word for rabbit. In addition to selective breeding, naturally occurring genetic variations also contributed to morphological diversity.
