...that minimizes the possibility of error. And that I have tried to do, aided by modern technology, which enables me, having long since moved beyond longhand, to use a computer for both organizing and taking notes. I now rely on a scanner, which reproduces the passages I want to cite, and then I keep my own comments on those books in a separate file so that I will never confuse the two again. But the real miracle occurred when my college-age son taught me how to use the mysterious footnote key on the computer, which makes it possible...
...militants even if Washington threatens to cut him off altogether. The lull in violence he managed to engineer following his December 16 speech was based on persuading the various militant factions that a cease-fire was in the overriding national interest of the Palestinians. But those same factions cite continued Israeli assassinations of their leaders and the absence of any easing of the blockade on Palestinian daily life as reasons to keep fighting. Few observers of the region are expecting Arafat to pull a cease-fire out of the hat even if Washington threatens a last goodbye...
Among Ambrose's defenses are that he used footnotes to indicate his pilfered passages and that he was working too hastily to get the quotation marks in. He is hardly contrite.

...where 55% of the population is overweight, why is the most hotly anticipated invention something that enables a person to make it through the day without walking even a short distance?

The main obstacle to the Segway's success among consumers is the passenger weight limit of 250 lbs. Anyone lazy enough to want a Segway is probably too fat to use it.

Milbank opted to cite (if not love) his enemy. By exposing the nihilism of secular thought, he writes, postmodernism freed Christian theology from the need to "measure up to...standards of scientific truth and normative rationality." Thus unburdened, he suggests, it enjoys several advantages over secular competitors. Long before postmodernism, Christianity accepted unknowableness as part of God's nature. The Christian "story" is dense with associations and can be applied universally. In fact, he writes, its central dynamic of ever unfolding divine love places it outside--and above--postmodernism's conviction that each contending world view is rooted...
