Unity As A Concept Is Neither Good Nor Bad... Though The Establishment Is Desperate To Unify Around Defeating Bernie And His Ideas
Beating Trump in 2020, as I've written before, is urgent-- if not
existential-- but making sure we think long and hard about what we replace
him with is just as important. The conservative establishment is not
stupid. It senses Trump going down and the establishment does *not* want to

Millionaires and Billionaires, would be more historically accurate if it

Russia’s MiG-29 Fighter: Can It Be Saved From Becoming Obsolete?

manufactured as a popular export product. It became one of the most

Business Strategy, The Insource / Outsource Decision, And Tesla
I have a confession -- at Harvard Business School (HBS), I loved business
strategy cases. This is a confession because most ex-HBS students have a
love-hate relationship with cases in the same way that the Band of
Brothers, or the 506th PIR, had with Curahee Mountain. The first 8, 10, 12
cases were fine and […]

have not heard a lot about before -- Wolf Hall, a retelling […]

Russian Submarines Showing Up In The Gulf Of Mexico?

“Our submarines, too, might have surfaced suddenly some place in the Gulf

forces of our submarine fleet there. We do not do that for the simple
reason our purpose is not to show off in such a silly way, but to cope with
the assigned tasks.”

coastal waters, and we’ll send our warships into yours.

“Blown by the wind from a massive star, this interstellar apparition has a
surprisingly familiar shape. Cataloged as NGC 7635, it is also known simply
as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 7 light-year diameter
bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Above and left of the
Bubble's center is a hot, O-type star, several hundred thousand times more
luminous and around 45 times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar
wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of
glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cl... more »

“Foundation: The Fall Of The American Galactic Empire”
*“Foundation: The Fall Of The American Galactic Empire”*
by James Quinn
“The fall of Empire, gentlemen, is a massive thing, however, and not easily
fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a
freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity - a hundred other factors. It has
been going on, as I have said, for centuries, and it is too majestic and
massive a movement to stop.” – Isaac Asimov, "Foundation"

Why What Works Doesn't Work
One of the dreams of reformerdom has been to identify classroom practices
that are solid, successful, even foolproof, and to send them out into the
world so that every teacher can use them in her own classroom. Students
learn, angels sing, and education is one step closer to being neat,
scientific and efficient, and one step further away from being a big
higgledy piggledy mess.
This may strike you as a pretty picture, or it may not-- it doesn't really
matter, because it is never going to happen.
