A Mother Welcomes a Son Home from War
A Mother Welcomes a Son Home from War Her embrace, her hands and eyes on his face, almost makes him feel her suffering is worse than his. But almost is not is. Is is what matters, and the matter is her just home-from-war son, the one she thinks she hugs, well, he is dead, a walking, breathing IED, or at best MIA, unfit, and far from feeling, but for feeling strange, far out of place, and indifferent to them both. *** IED = improvised explosive de…
Just Sleeping
Just Sleeping Once I saw a raccoon asleep, in a hole in a leaf-bare winter tree. Far across a field and limp with slumber, it curled up close in my binoculars. Though I’d gone out looking for a feathered thing, it pleased me to see a wild creature so deep in peace. After the war, I always had dreams of wild, wild things and they were always men doing the unspeakable deeds we did in the war. Once, when my dear wife was pregnant, she had a dream of…
Fanfare
Fanfare Whatever is wasted or wanted In this country of glass and flint Some garden will use, once planted. Louise Bogan 1. A hollow pipe, wide and round as the muzzle of a grenade launcher, serves as a doorpost to my fenced-in garden. When wind blows across its mouth and this meadow, it pipes a lead-steady, bassoon-like note Odysseus might have known, crossing the fearsome universe between war and home. I think I hear it in my sleep, and mistake…
The Five Words
The Five Words If you tell me, Thank you for your service, and I think you are sincere, especially if I think you are sincere, I will tell you some dark particulars of that service, and once come to light like a stain on porcelain, say, it will spot your heart and blot the smile from your child’s face forever. See, the way it happens, when bad happens, it’s fast, you’re slow and become its keeper, carrying it home and to your grave, and no thanks…
Disturbing The Peace
Disturbing The Peace 1. “We were talking about Afghanistan, too,” one of the young women at the bar said. They knew facts, news, analysis, some important names and dates; history – we knew what we lived. They weren’t even born when we fought in Vietnam. “Do you want to know what war is about?” Jake asked the talkative one. “Don’t say it, Jake,” I said. My hand added insistence on his arm. “Did you ever kill anyone?” he asked her. She did not know…
Trade vs. national security
The following article analyzes some of the lessons for trade and national security policy presented by the recent trade petitions concerning the effects of imports on the national security. Two recent key Presidential decisions on petitions for restrictions on imports of ferroalloys and machine tools are discussed. This article first summarizes the NSC Stockpile/Industrial Mobilization Planning Study, which the President used to set goals for the…
An Index of the Discriminating Power of a Test at Different Parts of the Score Range
An important characteristic of any test is its ability to discriminate among examinees who differ in ability. The conventional reliability and validity coefficients are indices of discrimination for the test as a whole; however, except under certain limited conditions, these over-all indices do not apply at all points along the score scale. The purpose of the present paper is to provide such an index and illustrate its use
