Israel Is Making Short Work Of Iran's Republican Guards In Syria
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Israel isn't afraid. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Israeli defense minister Naftali Bennett described Iran as an octopus, threatening that “Wherever you send those octopus arms, we will hack them off.” He also warned they might consider attacking the Octopus' ‘head’—ie, Tehran—if the attacks continue.

Leah Platt Boustan, Maria Lucia Yanguas, Matthew Kahn, Paul W. Rhode at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Leah Platt Boustan, Maria Lucia Yanguas, Matthew Kahn, Paul W. Rhode* *Environment, Americas* The study shows that people move away from areas hit by the largest natural disasters, but smaller disasters have little effect on migration. Every year, major earthquakes, floods and hurricanes occur. These natural disasters disrupt daily life and, in the worst cases, cause devastation. Events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy killed thousands of people and generated billions of dollars in losses.

Three Crisis-Leadership Lessons From Abraham Lincoln
*Adrian Brettle* *History, Americas* In persevering against a determined military enemy, President Lincoln left three noteworthy lessons about leadership. In March 1861, as Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as president, the United States faced its greatest crisis: its sudden and unexpected dissolution. Seven of the then 31 states had already voted to secede from the Union. What he did in the following months and years made such a massive difference in history that David M. Potter, an eminent historian of the South, concluded years ago that if Lincoln and the Confederate president ... more »

In the opening months of 1942, German U-boats pushed Allied supply lines to the breaking point. In the month of January, Axis submarines claimed over 20 Allied vessels including a tanker just 60 miles off the coast of Long Island.

What schools might look like this fall
The very best piece I have read on the near-insanity of reopening our colleges and universities (and law schools) this fall was published earlier today by Josh Blackman on the Volokh Conspiracy. It deserves to become viral and the subject of national discussion, given the almost literally fantastic desire of political "leaders" to pretend that we have turned the corner--rather than, at best, reached only the end of the terrible beginning--of the ravages threatened by Covid-19. Josh, of course, is a leading light among conservative legal academics. He has even been accused, on occ... more »
