A lightly armed, poorly outfitted airborn division (+ some other units) held out against armored corps dispite being cut off. There is some debate as to whether this prevented German victory in the Battle of the Bulge (it may have been completely unwinnable at all). There is no question at the time capturing Bastogne was the highest priority for the Germans once the resistance coalesced. And they couldn't take it.
Truth is, whenever they met the Germans under reasonably even odds, they won.
Enron had so many peculiar scams going that of course they went broke. The fact that felonious corruption wasn't enough to save them is not evidence that there was no such felonious corruption.
In fact, they DID help them. One result was that the Feds denied the California rate payers important relief- release from long term contracts at crises-extorted rates. They also refused to put in aprice cap, which would have defused the crises overnight. (Yeah, I took economics- enough for a minor had they offered one. It's fine stuff for analyzing markets, but classical econ deals wwith a weird definition of market - neither buyer nor seller has enough power to distort the price. This doesn't apply here.) Remember: it's a criminal enterprise to game the market. Collusion among suppliers kept power plants off line, generating artificial shortages and massive windfall profits from selling the remainder. Without the incentive to withhold supply, the plants go online as the former colluders compete to get what they can, and the need for a cap disappears. These suppliers were the same clowns gathered to advise on handling the crises! The Bush administration role was essentially holding down the victim so she wouldn't harm her rapists.
I got the distinct impression that the text had not been assigned, just the essay. So I was judging the field by the prof. I looked for counter-examples, but it's not worth a decade in the field to me to acquire the taste. I guess I find the article's point about selection pressures in the field generating the results we see (and lampoon) pretty convincing.
Gotta grant that most students don't read the assignments - I found doing so tracked poorly with better grades.
And though I was tempted to use "TCP/IP Illustrated" for my bedtime reading, I do read serious fiction seriously from time to time.
I must also grant your point on how communication in most fields are atrocious. I tested at the Evil Empire for a while and found the dialect there curiously off-putting. To this day I have a terrible aversion to the use of "partner" as a verb.
In the hard sciences, the citation rate for papers (that is, number of times a paper was cited in other papers) was fairly high (I forget the number and won't guess). In English/Lit, it was 1. Inference: nobody reads these things. So I don't think the hoax would be discovered had it not been announced.
I admit a certain hostility - I abandoned English classes after attending one as a prospective student. The class was discussing an essay of criticism on "Huckleberry Finn". After 20 minutes or so of discussing the essay, the Prof. asked how many had actually read Huck. A minority of hands went up. Now, we can assume that some hands stayed down due to reticence or something, but to me the conclusion that criticism of text had been elevated to a status independent of text was alarming and conclusive. (Also the possiblity that people could reach that point in life without having read it - weird!)
I still read seriously, but I am inclined to be dismissive of the academic lit. crit. industry. One class is not sufficient evidence for such a decision, of course, but I just don't see enough evidence to the contrary to revisit my conclusion.
There is no doubt about the unseemly affinity of the Bush Administration for the extractive energy industry. Do you really doubt that the secret meetings with oil industry lobbyists (some of whom are known) were actually arguing for rebates for California rate-payers, tax credits for wind-farms, and improved auto fleet mileage and Cheney weighed the merits and decided to issue the piece of shit that he did?
but in case you are-
the plan released by Cheney's task force included exempting power plants from environmental regulations and overturning laws and regulations governing their construction. It also contained the only energy policy you'll get from an oilman: "Drill more."
Which is nuts, of course. Oil resources in the ground are comparable to a bank account, not income. If energy supplies are low, conservation and development of sustainable energy is the way to go. Cheney's group had nothing to say about that, other than "use up oil as fast as possible, and find more except off the Florida coast where we need to assure the President's brother is still on hand to supervise the 2004 election."
We had 2 councilmembers turned out in the last election because of illegal contacts with lobbyists.
This is no different. And the fact is- Cheney was asking the thieves who ripped off California, Oregon and Washington on how to handle the crises they manufactured. Their response was predictable: pollute and drill more.
Man I hope W time in office expires before the statute of limitations. Kenny-boy? Meet RICO. Then meet your cell-mate Bubba.
Yeah - what are they going to say? "Of course it works. Of course I'm sure. Oh, hold on. Oops. All your base are belong to j-randon haxor. You did read our EULA, didn't you?"
Imagine having to shut down the OS side of the business if the report came down on the other side! He would have had no choice but to take Windows off the market if it had turned out otherwise. At least until they caught up, and how would they catch up after distributing all that cash in refunds?
This stuff actually happened. And worse: Tom Delay organized a riot to stop the Dade County recount.
It's funny how the police riot during predominantly peaceful protests by left-of-center folks, but right wing thugs get a free pass when interfering with an election.

In some contexts it's impossible, and sex still happens. But when it is possible, partners seek seclusion.

It's still pretty common for a woman to have to fend off sexual advances from coworkers and supervisors, and to deal with a hostile and sexualized atmosphere. When you see what happens to whistle-blowers for outright fraud, you can see what can happen to someone who makes waves for this kind of thing.
Plus, you still have right-wing nutbags like Phyllis Schlafely trying to encode second class status for women. And Walmart pulling a t-shirt from its inventory on the grounds that it was offensive for stating that, "Someday a woman is going to be President."
We aren't there yet. A lot of women's potential is still stiffled.
I will grant that there are a lot of nitwits sheltering under the banner of feminism. But mostly what people think of are straw-women like Rush the Druggie rails against.
Thousands of eligible voters purged, thousands of valid votes not counted, hundreds of invalid Bush votes counted, hundreds or thousands of invalid Republican absentee ballots.
None of it is a surprise when the Bush state campaign chair is, essentially, the election referee. The Florida election was stolen.

I have a high point assessment for anyone who uses the first initial plus middle name. It strikes me as an affectation.

Not that it's a great sales tactic: "You don't need that wimpy ease-of-use"
Gotta keep the spin "Easy enough for *her*, so you can certainly handle it."

Good luck - you are one GED from being able to give them the finger with impunity.
Or maybe you ought to ask them for their scores on the high school exit exams. Some districts require teachers and administrators to take them.
