...Politics.” We have the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies, but that is more focused on grand foreign policy machinations rather than military realities on the ground. The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Kennedy School of Government is on the right track??good liberals that they are, they’ve managed to realize that the military can be used for good ends, like stopping genocide—but it is tiny. Most of the professors at FAS are averse to any scholarship on the military. There are fewer than five...
...least he shelled out for some decent beats. The Reefa-produced “It’s Okay (One Blood)” has a strange, stuttering backing track. Unfortunately Game spends the whole song talking about, and often talking to, Dr. Dre, whose absence shows in the track??s noisy, decidedly un-bumpin’ mix.

...saccharine ballads. The worst offender in this respect is “Joy Ride,” an uninspired torch song in which Carey likens the pleasures of love to, surprise, a joy ride—not exactly the most potent of metaphors. Worse, Carey attempts to overshadow the track??s weak production with an excessively acrobatic vocal performance. At times it’s unclear whether she’s singing or just running through scales...
