Brown is in a really tough spot. Not only have the Bears started 0-2 in Ivy play, but their opponent this weekend is poised to shut down the most potent part of their offensive attack...
...most of this, generating tension and genuine terror with a slow, sweeping camera that seems to glide across the traditional Japanese interiors with neither rhyme nor reason; he uses frequent long takes with symbolic tableaux in the foreground and complex interactions occurring in the background. Shimizu takes this potent philosophical notion and maximizes it’s potential for a startling filmic effect; at least, for the first 30 minutes...
...about the right thing to do. But Klein shouldn't conclude that getting the public's opinion is no longer useful. When a candidate wants to persuade voters to agree with what he thinks is right, a focused group discussion (the original name for the technique) can be quite potent.

They are breaking the Army into smaller, more potent units, pulling calcified forces out of cold-war strongholds like Western Europe and South Korea, and shifting military policing and other nation-building skills from the reserves to the active-duty force. They're hiring contractors to perform many of the noncombat missions now being done by soldiers, so that...
