Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Michael D. Smith—who, it must be said, is responsible for quite a bit of this bureaucratic overgrowth—should strongly consider laying off some of the following staff before he implements cuts that would have...

We are keenly aware these industries in 5 to 10 years will be the major industries...
...course, with many Asian countries bound together by their dynamic economies, few analysts expect a full-blown arms race that could disrupt the region's growth. Mike McDevitt, a retired U.S. admiral and director of the strategic studies division at the Center for Naval Analyses in Washington D.C., envisions a more tacit struggle for strategic supremacy, based on stealth and surveillance. "There'll be a capabilities competition between the U.S. and China going on for the foreseeable future," he says, with navies seeking to interfere with rival sea lines of communication, probing maritime borders with deep sea patrols likely involving...
