...piercing as a safety pin through the nostril. Ask about Bono's reworking Anarchy in the U.K. for a new sound track, and the response is swift. "It's horrible!" How about American rabble-rousers like shock jock Howard Stern? "He's one joke that's already tired." Post-punk diva Courtney Love? "Courtney Loves Kurt's money."

So you have to ask whether that mood suggests that our standing military is too big for the post-Cold War era. Should we cut off a large chunk of our military to create a separate peacekeeping force? That's a solution many in the military won't be comfortable with, but it's a qeustion that will be raised by studies like this." The way things are going...
