Even pragmatic considerations could argue against the current world arms-buying binge. U.C.L.A. Political Scientist Roman Kolkowicz warns that "it is very dangerous to move substantial quantities of fairly sophisticated weapons into the hands of unstable political-military elites, whose ability to restrain their fantasies and appetites is weak at best...
...winner. If a boy is very interested in studying, I may work the academic angle harder. I also tell them our campus has a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and you can't forget it is a school with a nationwide following." Where appropriate, he mentions Notre Dame's Roman Catholic underpinnings. Boulac, a gentle giant, helps his sell with a sincere, low-key delivery. When he needs help, he turns to distinguished Notre Dame alumni. In Dallas, he is likely to make home visits with Joe Haggar, whose family owns Haggar Co., the slacks manufacturer, and put up money...

Suppose Luther had been unable to find a nail in Wittenberg for all those theses. Or better, suppose Guedalla's Boabdil had crossed the Pyrenees and swept through France, creating a Moorish Europe. Might there be mosques in Manchester today...
