...into the Persian Gulf to convince Saddam Hussein that he will. Surely and steadily, U.S. strategists have moved forward with their plans to put 100,000 soldiers into the region by Feb. 1. By Jan. 27, the day set for the U.N.'s weapons inspectors to report their first formal findings to the Security Council, they hope a record of Iraq's malfeasance will be established, clearing the way for a regime-changing assault to begin and end before the desert heat gives the overmatched Iraqi forces a reprieve...
...only did Beck reject Freud's idea of the unconscious self, but he also abandoned the formal reserve of the classic Freudian analyst. Freud believed the analyst should be as neutral and silent as possible. That way, Freud theorized, the patient can project personalities from his or her past onto the analyst and relive past conflicts right there on the couch. Freud called this process "transference."

In their place should come more programs that engage the Harvard community by informing and discussing serious issues in a productive way, with the potential to effect change. Instead of just reacting to issues, those organizing these programs could pro-actively formulate issues to discuss...
...will respect the country's sovereignty and security. The North Korean response was decidedly snotty (it described President Bush's offer as a "deceptive drama to mislead world opinion") but analysts interpret the remarks as typically shrill North Korean bargaining. Pyongyang will try and hold out for a formal non-aggression pact, while the Bush Administration will likely offer some lesser form of written security guarantee. But the nuclear brinkmanship appears designed primarily as a negotiating tactic to pressure the U.S. and its allies into new concessions...
