...diplomatic phalanx went into furious motion last week as Washington stewed over martial means and ends. Colin Powell, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff whose Gulf War success carries great weight, spoke up on Kosovo after weeks of silence. A foreign policy imbroglio that requires military force needs clear, precise goals if that force is to be used wisely, advised the retired Army general. "You have to have pretty solid political objectives, and then apply decisive force to them," he said. "Nothing in the Powell doctrine says no casualties."

After promising over the weekend that on-leave reservists who were needed as breadwinners wouldn't be redeployed, the Yugoslav army Tuesday warned that men who failed to return to their units by noon would face a court-martial.

Kendo--literally, "sword path"--is not any of these things. Born from the civil wars that engulfed Japan for almost seven centuries, modern kendo embodies the ethical code to which the Japanese warrior so stringently adhered. These values--resolve, courage, compassion, courtesy, sincerity, honor and devotion--play an especially important role in the lives of Kendo Club members and are inherently incompatible...
