A Fistful of Links
Here's some links I've accumulated that you can read. Or not.
An interview with Camille Paglia, formerly the only person worth reading on Salon.com.
An article on stress factors at play in violent encounters and personal combat, for those with an interest in that sort of thing. The emphasis is on edged weapons, not open hands.
A just plain creepy story.
Courtesy of Heather, a piece about building the perfect 90's box set.
Those of a historical bet are probably already aware that this month marks the 60th anniversary of the use of atomic weapons on Imperial Japan. And of course there's plenty of commentary to be had, from revisionist hand-wringing to uber-patriotic nonsense. The History News Network has a collection of links running the gamut of opinion. Richard Franks (author of Downfall, in my opinion the best account of the circumstances around Hiroshima and Nagasaki) has an article in the Weekly Standard on Truman's decision to use the bomb.
