Bush indicated the large scope of American intentions in his speech last week when he referred to the post--World War II makeover of Japan and Germany as the model for a new Iraq. While they won't say it in public, White House officials privately admit the plan is to take over Iraq, plain and simple. The Administration likes to call it liberation. But it would mean a full-fledged, old-fashioned occupation by U.S. forces, which would run the country until it was ready to be given back to the Iraqis. Top officials say the plan calls...
When Ec 10 discusses economic policy issues, the scope of the debate is unambiguously provincial. A glance at the Readings and Workbook for Ec 10 is enough to explain why an alternative is necessary and appropriate. Feldstein’s articles dominate the readings, and of the other authors featured the vast majority support Feldstein’s point of view. So do the lecturers.

...that all? As a matter of fact, it is. With its upper-crust settings and century-spanning scope, Any Human Heart invites comparison to Ian McKewan's Atonement. But while McKewan's novel is a work of elaborate, formal artifice, Any Human Heart is determinedly, even defiantly, formless. There is no overarching story here, not even a last-minute revelation or the standard old man's epiphany to tie it all together. Like any really honest diary, Any Human Heart is just a random, jumbled heap of days, most immensely amusing, some unbearably sad, but together they carry the full...
