...photos of the Taliban soldier being murdered were the saddest things I have seen in a long time. War is truly senseless and vile. I'm not a pacifist, but I am opposed to those who would proclaim that there is something glorious or heroic about going into battle. If war was necessary in Afghanistan, so be it; but I urge everyone who says it was to look closely at the man who is being brutalized in these photos and remember that when violence is institutionalized, this kind of madness will erupt sooner or later.

Have I have forgotten how to meet people? Maybe I never knew, as my empty Rolodex and barren weekends seem to proclaim. What caused this disastrous social failure? I blame “network aversion...

The backs of international pilot magazines are crammed with ads for flight schools in Florida, California and Arizona. "Three hundred sunny days a year," some of them proclaim, an enticement to students in a hurry to build up the hundreds of hours of basic prop-plane time needed before moving on to jet training and potentially lucrative careers. If Harvard, Yale and M.I.T. draw the world's future biochemists, these small four- and five-plane aviation schools attract the globe's future pilots...
