...have imagined it could slow the onslaught. As U.S. forces swept through Iraq from Kuwait, the Iraqi command deployed four divisions--the Baghdad, Medina, Nebuchadnezzar and Hammurabi--south of the capital in two defensive arcs. The outer arc, about 100 miles long, stretched roughly from Karbala to Kut. The inner one, some 30 miles long, extended from Yusufiyah to Suwayrah. Just how many troops this involved is unclear. On paper, each of the four divisions had roughly 10,000 men, but according to U.S. intelligence, all were undermanned.

Secondly, the crumbling asphalt walks all over the Yard are awful. Dartboard’s own poor Los Angeles inner-city public high school did a better job of filling potholes. This is especially bad because in this case, Yale shows us up so thoroughly. Their Old Campus is criss-crossed by slate walks. True, cars often need access to the Yard, and slate driveways may not be able to handle all that weight. But cars don’t have to drive all over the Yard; there are plenty of ugly asphalt paths that could simply be torn...
