Any movement of forces to warehouses suspected of containing weapons of mass destruction will be promptly attacked. But Pentagon officials admit that they will need help finding Iraq's stores of deadly agents before they are put to use. "When they're hiding it, you need someone to come forward and tell you where it is," says General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. U.S. strategists are hoping that if defeat appears inevitable, Saddam...

Since then, the social homogenization of the United States has quelled class consciousness, and that’s where Harvard comes in. It is an accomplice in the great lie that class doesn’t exist in America. For example, the most exclusive Harvard final clubs routinely admit both extremely wealthy pretty boys and social climbers from the lower classes. By throwing a few scraps to the plebes, the Porcellian Club prevents resentment. Your father might be a construction worker, but you can still get into the Porc with the right mix of social bluster and deference...
