Ah yes, The Mote in God's Eye is an excellent book, although I read it a long time ago. My favorite Niven and Pournelle is probably Lucifer's Hammer, although my hard sci-fi enthusiast friends assure me that it's one of their inferior efforts. But I liked its presentation of a world just-post-apocalypse.
Going Nucular is indeed spelt that way
Yup. The title essay is about why politicians pronounce the word incorrectly and why it's almost certainly a conscious choice, to make themselves seem more "folksy". It's a little dated -- most of the commentary is from 2001-2003 -- but I still find it relevant and interesting.
