The greatest amphibious invasion in history, 75 years ago today
On June 6, 1944, Allied forces landed in Normandy, France. It was the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany's occupation of Western Europe. Together with the far larger and more deadly battles on the Eastern Front at the same time, it signaled the impending doom of that most evil of empires. My parents both went through World War II, my father in uniform, my mother on the so-called Home Front. The experience changed them forever. It was one of the truly pivotal conflicts in the history of humankind, and still resonates to this day. Here are some video clips that say, better tha... more »

In February, the Holocaust Deportation Claims Program, which compensates Jewish survivors of Nazi death camps transported on French trains, doubled its compensation payments, from US$200,000 to nearly $400,000.

This argument has been made for years and it may even have merit.

Electricity from Large Dams Does NOT Count as Renewable Energy
Anna Caballero, a Democratic state senator from a district near me in California, had a proposal that I actually agreed with. She wanted the term “renewable energy” in California law to refer to–hold on to your hat–renewable energy. Specifically, she wanted to allow two utilities, in the Modesto and Turlock irrigation districts, to be able […] The post Electricity from Large Dams Does NOT Count as Renewable Energy appeared first on Econlib.
No Stealth for You: India Says It Can 'Track' China's New J-20 Fighter
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* [image: Credit: Chinese Internet.] Should Beijing be worried? *The J-20’s short-range capabilities naturally lead to the question—what exactly happens when two stealth fighters clash? If their stealth qualities are robust, both aircraft may only be able to detect each other within 50 miles or less—at which point air combat maneuvers could prove important. As U.S. stealth aircraft are one of the chief military threats to China, it seems reasonable to assume the J-20 would be designed to have a fighting chance against them.* In January 2011, the... more »

Chet Raymo, "Know Thyself"
*"Know Thyself"* by Chet Raymo "The ancient Greek aphorism, attributed to Socrates and others. Good advice, I'm sure. If only we knew what it means.

That is to say, not to act impulsively, but reflectively. Thoreau's "I went to the woods because I wished to live d... more »
The Poet: John O'Donohue, "In These Times"
*"In These Times"* "In these times when anger Is turned into anxiety, And someone has stolen The horizons and mountains, Our small emperors on parade Never expect our indifference To disturb their nakedness. They keep their heads down, And their eyes gleam with reflection From aluminum economic ground, The media wraps everything In a cellophane of sound, And the ghost surface of the virtual Overlays the breathing earth. The industry of distraction Makes us forget That we live in a universe. We have become converts To the religion of stress And its deity of progress; That we may have co... more »
"Albert Camus on the Three Antidotes to the Absurdity of Life"
*"Albert Camus on the Three Antidotes to the Absurdity of Life"* by Maria Popova "What an astrophysicist might have the perspective to eulogize as “the incredibly improbable trip that we’re on” the rest of us might, and often do, experience as simply and maddeningly absurd - so uncontrollable and incomprehensible as to barely make sense. What are we to make of, and do with, the absurdity of life that swarms us daily? Oliver Sacks believed that “the most we can do is to write - intelligently, creatively, evocatively - about what it is like living in the world at this time.” And yet ... more »
