After the invasion of Lebanon, an editorial in the New York Times declared: "There is no point wailing about what might have been." Possibly. But that palliative countermands all the earlier sage advice proffered by that selfsame publication, and by this one and by every other voice that lobs words against tanks.

It is better to eat cold toast than to be toasted") truly, it is unsurprising that the yield of freshmen...
...funny in his adventure on earth. Left alone in the house, he toddles around like a middle-aged ironworker on a weekend without the wife, his potbelly peeking out of a plaid bathrobe as he watches TV and gets drunk on Coors beer. Later still, he is a holy sage, a whiz-kid Yoda, constructing a transmitter out of spare parts to signal his spaceship. And he has an extra gift for children.
