...Joseph S. Nye, another illustrious former Kennedy School dean who met McNamara in 1987 while working on an oral history project about the Cuban Missile Crisis, said that he had once thought of McNamara as "one-dimensional" and not to be admired. But later, through personal interactions, Nye said he found McNamara to be a man very interested in "moral questions" who genuinely cared about reducing poverty and nuclear risk...
...states, like New York, already ban large constrictor snakes. A House bill, introduced by Florida Representatives Ron Klein and Alcee Hastings, would not ban but more closely regulate python importation. Even that legislation has met resistance from business lobbies like the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC), which insists the problem can be contained, via regulatory programs like Florida's, without clamping down on imports. "Bans often just drive the commerce underground, which can instead worsen the situation," says PIJAC CEO Marshall Meyers.

Because it is not just civilian casualties. It's also...
...border? It's a regional problem. Our success in Afghanistan and Pakistan - they are unique situations that are linked inextricably - I think that we can't be entirely successful here unless there is some measure of success against Afghan Taliban and other al-Qaeda in Pakistan. Similarly, and I met with General [Ashfaq] Kayani yesterday, I don't think that they can be entirely successful in maintaining security in the tribal areas unless Afghanistan is a stable state, so I think there is a shared mutual interest because they both feed on each other...
