JS : It 's not that there is a general interest in Civil War history - - the facts and figures - - per se , but an interest in character , which my father helped to create and which I am trying to carry on - - a demystifying effort to help the reader see that the generals are just like us . Steinbeck gives plenty of detail of Doc 's work : He is an unusual scientist , a freelancer making a ( not too good ) commercial living , and also a great enthusiast for music , art and poetry - - a Renaissance man among a community of hustlers . Steve White : It 's rather amusing to read the fervent clinging to a position that they think the right believes : this then allows y'all to caress your strawman before knocking it down . Here are but some of the problems the new director faces : He is supposed to know of the work of the disparate and sometimes warring agencies but has no direct power to hire and fire ; he has authority over the $ 40 billion intelligence budget but must share it with the defense secretary , whose department controls 80 percent of it ; he has a Pentagon focused on intelligence that can help win the next battle instead of spending to prevent the next attack . It 's of no use to have foresight when you are dealing with an idiot : he is not to be calculated upon . Jesse : It 's getting better . First , Megan McArdle : It 's dangerous that our humanities students are so alienated from the scientific way of thought that they ca n't evaluate science on its own terms . Clue : it 's nothing to do with riding scooters , wearing things on their heads or being doctors . He beholdeth all high things : he is a king over all the children of pride . Should a judge order a warrant killed ( " quashed " is the legalism ) , and should the kill order not be properly accomplished , the stage is set : person leaves courtroom relieved , goes about his business , is stopped some months ( or years ) later , officer checks central database , finds warrant information , calls warrant-issuing police department , which checks * * its * * warrant database .
