...piles on my desk told the physical story of what I had just done. On one side stood three shelves of books and a plastic bag full of field notes and collected articles: my raw material. Next to that lay a heap of notecards and a folder jammed with typescript drafts covered in edits and marginalia: my shopfloor assemblies. At the far end sat two neat stacks of the printed final copy, bound and totalized: the finished consumer good...

According to TIME's James Graff, the 19-page treaty signed in Paris on Thursday is a straightforward document that addresses anything-but-straightforward issues. Despite deep enmities, the parties have committed themselves to abide by "annexes" that fill more than 150 pages of typescript, and range from vague promises to "make strenuous efforts to cooperate with each other" to constructing a Rube Goldberg government with a bicameral legislature and a three-person executive presidency. "There's been a very obvious demonstration of the difficulties to come in the fact that many...
