Despite the profound impact of airpower on the course and outcome of the Gulf War, its employment has not escaped controversy. The coalition quickly cleared the skies of Iraqi aircraft, neutralized Iraqi medium and high altitude air defenses, brought Iraq’s entire command structure and military under attack, and systematically struck at the Iraqi field army in the Kuwait theater of operations. ...

George has had more than his share of such Indiana Jones-style adventures. He kept a constant vigil at the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad during the Gulf War, catching a nap in the cellar in between air raids; he organized opposition to the truckloads of armed looters who scoured the countryside in the mid-1990s; and he later survived a brutal assault by an unknown assailant. All the while, George has...

Poet~ is indispensable—ifI only knew whatfor.1 Many years ago, Jean Cocteau made this note of the intrinsic value of the creative process in man’s attempt to discover meaning in human experience: universally known yet not so easily understood. In this paper, we examine the use of two creative forms, poetry and collage, conducted in a group setting in exploration of the bereavement process among...

In a way, the poems of Fourth Quarter crystallise many of the themes which have preoccupied the poet during those thirty years.

It described a time in which, according to the poet, Buddhist monks betrayed...

We present POET, a scripting language designed for applying advanced program transformations to code in arbitrary programming languages as well as building adhoc translators between these languages. We have used POET to support a large number of compiler optimizations, including loop interchange, parallelization, blocking, fusion/fission, strength reduction, scalar replacement, SSE vectorizatio...

We have developed a pooled ORF expression technology, POET, that uses recombinational cloning and proteomic methods (two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry) to identify ORFs that when expressed are likely to yield high levels of soluble, purified protein. Because the method works on pools of ORFs, the procedures needed to subclone, express, purify, and assay protein expressio...

The Symposium of Plato presents the demythologizing of the god Eros, that is, the rational clarification of his nature. At a dinner to celebrate the victory of the tragic poet Agathon in the Theatre, the guests all give speeches in honour of the god. Of the initial speakers, neither the comic poet Aristophanes nor the tragic poet Agathon can give more than a partial account of his nature, and i...
