...Myers:No, I haven't, in order to maintain some pretense of objectivity for the book, although people will assume I'm for Hillary Clinton and that's in some ways inescapable. I think what I've been struck by in this campaign is that it's still more difficult for women to be taken seriously. Hillary has had to prove she was tough enough to be Commander in Chief. That's one reason her campaign made her 30 years of experience its foundation. Then again, if you're too tough, then people think you're too hard...

Unfortunately, the stated desire of many European countries to reduce their commitments to the nato effort in Afghanistan does little to bolster confidence in Europe's eagerness to maintain international security...
...geological pressure and a consultant to oil companies. Usually, when drilling in geologically unstable areas, engineers install steel casing at greater depths, where the low density of the rock might allow fluid to escape from the borehole. In the event of a kick, the casing allows drillers to maintain the integrity of the well.

"The conventional well design in that sort...
...while Buckley’s anti-elitism was charming because of its element of ironic self-awareness, today’s conservatives, admittedly attempting to follow his lead, have lapsed either into a reflexive philistinism or George Will’s poseurish pomposity.

As for elitism, he was an aristocrat par excellence, fond of Bach and sailing, and is rumored to have taken his yacht outside of U.S. waters so that he could smoke pot while preserving...
...upward, from a low of 1.16 live births per woman in 1996 to 1.38 in 2006. That minor uptick is linked to larger immigrant families, but also to children of Spain's early-1970s baby boom starting to have kids of their own. It's not enough, though, to maintain the population level, so Parliament last year approved a $3,700 "baby bonus" subsidy for each child born...
