...decision whether or not to join HTS comes down to the individual. For now, at least, the Pentagon wants to leverage the cultural insights of academics to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan, but whether HTS has brought more top scholars into the military fold or only widened the schism between academe and the military remains unclear. James Der Derian, a professor of political science at Brown University who recently finished a documentary on HTS, and whose friend and colleague Michael Bhatia was killed in Afghanistan (one of three HTS social scientists to die on duty), says, "The emphasis in previous...
...Tale of Two Priests" by Amy Sullivan details a schism closely related to political ideology [Nov. 16]. Yet these debates always fail to engage us Catholics who are libertarians.

...preposterously good bio--so good that a European journalist took cotton swabs to an interview in an attempt to verify that the brothers actually share DNA. But as awful as it must have been to live through, it's the family schism that allows Kings of Leon to get away with lyrical murder. Plenty of bands sing about sex, but Kings of Leon use their history to suggest that sex eases the burden of their shattered innocence, and they make music about it to reinforce their fraternal connection. They're aching emotional savants with deep wounds that require constant...
