...Make War is all the more chilling for including such bloodless assessments. A hybrid of manual and analysis, the book describes what warriors and their equipment can and cannot do. Dunnigan is no recruiting sergeant. Details of ground, air and sea operations, nuclear and chemical capabilities and logistics are rendered in a neutral tone that amounts to wry understatement on human nature. On the standard of living at the front: "It is very low. The overriding goal is not to get hit by flying objects." On looting: "Arming a man still seems to change his concepts of property rights...

Though his ruling will be appealed, it strikes down the section of the law that was for more than a year the only bulwark against condominium conversion in much of the city and remains the only barrier to conversion of perhaps as many as 100 units in "hybrid" (half-condo, half-rental) buildings...
...such theoretical links depend upon transliterations and translations from the tablets themselves, and here the disputes give ample reason for caution. In the hybrid Eblaite language, a single sign can have a dozen meanings.

Their borders were sprinkled with wild roses and ring-necked pheasants whose vivid fall plumage is just beginning to erupt.

From Social Analysis 10, "Principles of Economics," which draws more than 1000 students every year, to Sanskrit 110, "Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit" (in a department which has had one concentrator in the last five years), Harvard's breadth is staggering. For all that Harvard is accused of encouraging pre-professionalism, and for all that students allow some insidious notion of "usefulness" to determine what they study, we are all fortunate to attend a school where Linguistics 161: "Structure of Wiyot" is happily offered to any and all takers. So join the line...
