...History of Warfare by John Keegan. Casting a cold eye over 4,000 years of mortal combat convinces this British historian that making war is basically a bad habit. Unromantic about the profession of arms but nevertheless sympathetic to the warrior class, Keegan conveys the grim details of warmaking operations with a stoic clarity that blurs all flags and levels all battlefields...
...some equivalent of De Klerk as partner on the other side -- could Haiti have been saved? No one can quantify a negative, but it seems obvious that the absence of leadership -- the opportunities squandered or unenvisioned -- costs the world dearly every day. War is a profound habit -- and sometimes a necessity. When Neville Chamberlain declared ''peace for our time'' after Munich, he gave peacemakers a reputation for fatuous optimism and appeasement from which it took them years to recover. Philosophers of war since Hiroshima have taught, hopefully, that the nuclear threat has made armed conflict ultimately untenable as a Clausewitzian...
...time,” you’ll only be a few minutes late. You could even hit snooze again, if you wanted to. This inane Harvard-specific tradition, whereby classes start at seven past the hour, should be completely, utterly, irrevocably eliminated. For one, our little collective habit destroys the mindset of true punctuality. When we all arrive to every class technically late—even if it is on time by the Harvard Clock—something happens to group psychology: tardiness ceases to be rude or disrespectful the way it is usually viewed outside of Harvard?...
...child's death haunted the two doctors. They decided to tackle a subject the medical community had long abandoned: the stubbornly high child-mortality rate in the developing world. Abhay and Rani identified 18 causes of newborn death, from the obvious, like malnutrition, to the surprising, like the habit of expectant Gond mothers of starving themselves and their unborn child for an easier birth. The Bangs found no problems that couldn't be treated by a health worker with rudimentary skills, some infant sleeping bags and an abacus on which to record every 10 heartbeats...
...stroke behind them with a score of 81. Sophomore Jessica Hazlett rounded out the Crimson contingent with an 82 and a fifth-place finish. Yesterday, the rain held out, but windier conditions made the course significantly more difficult than on Saturday. Harvard was not able to continue its habit of outperforming itself on the second day, but managed to hold onto its lead. Bode and Hazlett both shot 82, allowing Bode to maintain her first-place position and bumping Hazlett into the number two slot. Cronan and Balmert shot in the 80s as well. Along with Rooney, they finished...
