A few years earlier, in 1993, an order of nuns in Dublin sold part of their Magdalen convent to a real ...

How to reconcile aspirations outside and inside the academy
There is a contrast today between those in the academy and those outside. Those inside believe they are under pressure as never before and underappreciated. Those outside increasingly believe that those inside are both greedy and careless with their finances and also with quality. Neither perception is right.

Containment Culture: American Narratives, Postmodernism, and the Atomic Age (New Americanists)
Alan Nadel

Duke University Press, 1995

Alan Nadel provides a unique analysis of the rise of American postmodernism by viewing it as a breakdown in Cold War cultural narratives of containment. These narratives, which embodied an American postwar foreign policy charged with checking the spread of Communism, also operated, Nadel argues, within a wide spectrum of cultural life in the United States to contain atomic secrets, sexual license, gender roles, nuclear energy, and artistic ...

Containment: Rebuilding a Strategy against Global Terror

3 reviews

Princeton University Press, 2007

Viable Alternative
Shapiro presents a rational, concise, and morally consistent alternative to Bush's foreign doctrine of aggression and the Democrat's barren response. Supported by illustrations of former foreign policy successes and blunders, his proposal to rekindle the Cold War strategy of containment to fit a post 9-11 environment is apt and well worth consideration. Moreover, his prose, sprinkled with wit ...
