Can Kim? (Oct 02 2003 06:24 GMT) - Kim is on in the bottom of the ninth to try for the save. He got the first out, but he walked pinch-hitter Billy McMillon, then hit Singleton. Boston fans are getting a bit nervous. :-) Update: |

A Terrorist's Logic (Oct 02 2003 06:23 GMT) - In an article detailing the 60 Minutes II interview with a self-titled member of the Fedayeen the "soldier" has this to say: "I wish that I have missiles that could bomb you in America, to kill you as your sons killed our sons and our families, just like this and you''l be all in hell," says the Fedayeen soldier. "If I get some of your children from the American army, I will cut off his head and I am not sorry. I would be too pleasure with this. I could be so happy with this. |

Fine dialogue with General Clark in Talking Points Memo (Oct 02 2003 06:22 GMT) - This fine interview with Wesley Clark by Joshua Micah Marshall allows Wesley Clark to explain why the George W. Bush administration's approach to Iraq and foreign policy doesn't work in today's world. What I like about General Clark's comments is that they raise the general intellegence level of the discussion--his comments are clear and cogent and don't speak down to his audience. If he continues to be this thoughtful and this clear, Clark may help elevate the dialogue among candidates and commentators. The challenge of dealing with him will be good for both Howard Dean and John Kerry, and for the primary process as a whole. |

Broadband a few miles from Walden Pond (Oct 02 2003 06:22 GMT) - Ah, I finally have cable modem-supplied broadband working here in my home/retreat in the woods a few miles from Walden Pond. What would Henry David Thoreau have said? I just did the download bandwidth test, and got several results in the 1600 Kb/s range. Not great for cable, but not bad. Getting the cable took two months partnering with the Comcast organization. |

Here and There (Oct 02 2003 06:21 GMT) - The GAP conference is over. There have been a couple of nice symposia on the a priori: George Bealer and David Papineau discussed the significance of a priori reasoning in philosophy, and Frank Jackson and Brian McLaughlin talked about a priori physicalism. I would like to comment on this, and also on some talks I heard about relativism and contextualism, but at the moment I'm a bit tired of philosophy, and my arms also aren't well. So I decided to do something useful for a change and went to Munich to save the rainforests. |

Weekly column: Editor's INSIGHT (Oct 02 2003 06:21 GMT) - Dateline Toronto I was prepared for some degree of familiarity in the Commonwealth?s largest Anglo-settled society but not to find Canada such a doppelganger of New Zealand. You immediately feel at home, and it?s not just the friendly people. For starters, it? |
