...trouble is that Saddam's ideas of what would accomplish his aims do not necessarily mesh with the West's -- or with reality. He has a dangerous penchant for misjudging his enemies; witness the 1980 attack on Iran that began a bloody and futile eight-year war. Even friendly Arab diplomats find him distressingly provincial. He has rarely been outside the Arab world and knows as little of the West and its thought processes as Western politicians know of his. Courses that seem senseless or downright suicidal to analysts in Washington, Paris or even Cairo do not necessarily look that...
...responds, "is one where the viewer never questions the value or importance. But it's also engaging and compelling, so that you feel you have to watch it. Entertainment and intelligence can live well together." Just how well, and how often, Lawson can get the two to mesh will show how Solomonic she really...

Said guitarist Glenn Tipton in an interview: "We were shocked. Nothing in the album says, 'Go do this, go do that...
Clauser's work pointed out once again that the rules of quantum mechanics do not mesh well with the laws of Newton and Einstein. But most physicists do not see the apparent disparity to be a major practical problem. Classical laws work perfectly well in explaining phenomena in the visible world -- the motion of a planet or the trajectory of a curveball -- and quantum theory does just as well when restricted to describing subatomic events like the flight of an electron...
