And the Pentagon's top spy, Defense Intelligence Agency director Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, testified with Hayden and was equally downbeat. "Although...

...tutorial’s intimidation will soon give way to camaraderie and late night e-mail chains about how screwed you are for the paper due tomorrow. You probably never thought historiography would be such a hoot, but in all likelihood you’ll be cracking jokes about Hayden White before you pack your bags for Thanksgiving. If you don’t find epistemology intriguing by then, you should probably pack your bags for the English department, too. Junior year heralds the celebrated one-on-one junior tutorial. It’s essential to select a tutor whose...
