"For so work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
They have a king and officers of sorts;
Where some, like magistrates, correct at home,
Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad,
Others, like soldiers, armèd in their stings, 用尾刺作武器
Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds;
Which pillage they with merry march bring home
To the tent-royal of their emperor."
--Archbishop of Canterbury from "Henry V" (1.2.186)

The New York Times leads with an interview with the President in which he suggests that the strategies of stripping insurgents away from Sunni militias in Iraq may also allow the U.S. to make inroads against the Afghan insurgency.


Clouds of violence are gathering along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the WP reports, as the Pakistani military lines up to face the Taliban in Peshawar. The U.S. has been urging Pakistan to take a stronger approach toward insurgents, though Islamabad has carefully avoided a full-on confrontation until now.

Mindy Wiesel’s abstract paintings are hauntingly inspired by her parents’ suffering during the Nazi regime.

Mindy Wiesel was born in a displaced persons’ camp in Germany two years after her Jewish parents were freed from Auschwitz.
