Tragedy in the Military I find it difficult to put into words the depth of my outrage at the U.S. Army for its policies and actions toward its recruiters, which drive some of our most dedicated soldiers to suicide [The Dark Side of Recruiting, April 20]. More aptly put, it is murder, and I have little doubt that the Army will cover it up, accept no responsibility and take no meaningful corrective action.

The sparks that fly over money will be nothing, though, compared to the battle those same local leaders will likely put up when they realize they're bound to lose most of their power to a Greater Paris so enormous it will doubtless be administered by a new super-entity - possibly an organ of the state...

Fowlie, who died in 1998, devoted entire semesters of teaching at Duke University to Dante and Proust, which sounds like serious stuff, but he was noted for his fine sense of humor. I have no doubt that, confronted with The Limits of Control, he would have offered a fresh translation, "As I was going down that impassive narrative...
