Краткое описание: From editor: “There’s no getting along with some people. America’s citizen soldiers in World War II found that out. Draftees and recruits rounded up from across a continent inevitably had personality clashes, culture clashes, even knuckle clashes. In that regard, Easy Company in the 506th Parachute Infantry’s 2nd Battalion was much like other units. What was different was that Easy’s men had volunteered to be paratroopers. Airborne units were elite and demanding. Staying in long enough to earn your wings was hard. That gave Easy’s men something in common”.

Краткое описание: From editor: “Your fear of robots is entirely reasonable. Popular culture has bombarded us with unforgettable images of devilish automatons. They’re murderous (HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey); they’re uppity (Cutie in Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot); and—more to the point here—they steal our jobs (the droids in Karel Čapek’s R.U.R., the 1920 play that coined the word “robot”). HBR has considered the robotic threat over the years, most memorably in a 1981 piece by the labor expert Robert Schrank. Written as a parable, the article imagined what would happen to the workforce once robots took over”.

Краткое описание: From editor: “The next five years will determine Britain’s place in the world for many years after that. As Adam Posen says (p19), if the country contrives to fall out of the European Union and to relinquish Scotland, it will be a distinctly less interesting ally for the United States. And as Anatole Kaletsky writes (p20), the chance of either currently makes the UK “Europe’s most unpredictable country.” The danger of the twin battles of this parliament is that victory goes to those who appear to care most, and the Brexit brigade and the Scottish secessionists have a headstart in the profession of public passion”.

Краткое описание: So now we know it. "The Will of the People" - delivered just on time, as it happens, for this, The Week's 20th anniversary issue. And what a weird mix of majesty and malarkey that "will" turns out to be. The malarkey lies in all the grand tales now being peddled by the politicians and pundits as to what the people's verdict actually means: it was vote for more austerity, say some; a vote for continuity, for strong government; for this; for that; for what have you.

Краткое описание: From editor: “A couple of years ago, while hunting deer on public land, I noticed movement on the next ridge and focused my binocular on the spot, about a half mile away. It was another hunter, lying prone, his blaze-orange vest obscured by his pack. I was alarmed to see him looking back at me not through a binocular, but through the scope on his rifle. I inched out of rifle sight, my cold shiver replaced by an angry flash. For better or worse, I resolved to confront the dude who was aiming at me as if I was an enemy combatant. Or a deer”.

Краткое описание: From editor: “India, the country I grew up in, experiences fundamentalism in tides. Upsurges are not spontaneous. They tend to be orchestrated by a particular party’s bid to gain and hold on to political power. But then the tide goes out a bit, when the populace tires of the usual political mismanagement and the appeal to hard-core religion begins to be seen as the dangerous distraction it is. Meanwhile, the usual havoc has taken place - communities insulted, angry and driven asunder, rioting and murder, and the growth of a jackbooted assertiveness. Ready for the next eruption”.
