And in practical terms, the U.S. would have to consider military action long before Iran had an actual bomb. In military circles, there is a debate about where--and when--to draw that line. U.S. intelligence chief John Negroponte told TIME in April that Iran is five years away from having a nuclear weapon. But some nonproliferation experts worry about a different moment: when Iran is able to enrich enough uranium to fuel a bomb--a point that comes well before engineers...

...member or a lecturer or post-doc. Like profs, post-docs act as sophomore and junior tutorial leaders and can be either exceedingly good or exceedingly bad. Let the risk-averse take note. It’s often arbitrary whether you’ll get a good or bad draw (either the sophomore tutorial with a fantabulous tutorial leader or the junior tutorial you badly want to take), but the good can be very good and the bad can yield horrendous results. You can get an adviser who’s a professor, or someone who actually spends most...
