Even though he almost never left the reclusive sanctuary of his home in Cornish, N.H., J.D. Salinger was an American icon. As the man who gave voice to a generation fed up with “phoniness” and the creator of the inimitable Holden Caulfield, it goes without saying that his work will outlast his life, which ended last week. In order to commemorate such an important figure in 20th century literary history—and one of our favorite writers from our own angsty adolescence—we solicited the help of several faculty members...

Even Taliban militants recently acknowledged the effectiveness of the drone war. "Westerners have some regard for civilians, and they do distinguish between Taliban fighters and civilians, but the Pakistani army doesn't," says a pamphlet distributed recently in North Waziristan by the pro-Taliban Council of United Holy Warriors.
