there's no need to read this. How does the format look? Who needs enemas? Rebecca FrontTuesday August 3, 2004The Guardian A blow to conspiracy theorists appeared in this paper the other day. According to scientists, Napoleon Bonaparte was not murdered, as has long been suspected, but instead died as the result of a potassium imbalance. This, it's now thought, was brought about by a well-intentioned doctor being over-zealous in his use of enemas. I'm aware that the mere mention of an overzealous enema will have led many of you to start turning the page, but stay with me if you will. To historians and medics, you can see why Napoleon's enemas would be of interest. To ardent fans of colonic irrigation, such adverse publicity may be seen as a pain in the arse - but that, after all, is nothing they won't have dealt with before. To the would-be humourist, however, such a story presents a problem. Enemas. A great word, ripe with comic possibilities. There may never again be such a golden opportunity to use the old gag: "with friends like these ..." But puns are so last century. In the age of darker than dark, bitter without the sweet comedy, the sort of comedy in which I so often work, puns are simply not done. They're considered cheap, cheesy and a bit juvenile. Some might argue that that's what makes them funny. Puns are, after all, pretty harmless faux-confusions of two words that sound alike; surely hating them is... well, it's homophone-bia. But trust me, I write from experience. Some years ago I began working on a news satire show called The Day Today. The rest of the team were actors and writers too, but most had stand-up comedy experience. Not me. While they had been treading sticky, beer-sodden stages and helping to create the new wave of hard-hitting, postmodern irony, I had been sitting in radio studios with middle-aged actors, listening, between takes, to anecdotes with tag lines such as "stark bollock naked in front of Princess Margaret!" Of course, I had a lot of comedy experience, but when a show has a title such as The Nice Man Cometh or Rabble Without Applause, you know you can go for it all puns blazing. (Damn, there goes another one.) For the first few improvisation sessions on this new show, I felt too intimidated to utter a word. Then one day, someone set up an idea about capital punishment. I could see it rolling towards me ... a glorious, multi-layered pun. Someone was bound to get there first, to pick it up and run with it, but no. So I took a deep breath and said it: "No noose is good noose", then looked down modestly and waited for the guffaw. Silence. When I looked up again, some of my colleagues were pretending they hadn't heard me, others were frantically doodling on their notepads. One, sensing my bewilderment and fearful that I might repeat my crime, whispered: "No puns. No innuendo." I was mystified. This was a comedy. It was as if I'd been told to drive up a motorway with no gears and no steering wheel. But the comedy ground had shifted, and I had to jump on or fall through the gap. To many people, the kind of jokes you use are irrelevant. To Conservative party members in Congleton, for instance, the fact that their MP Ann Winterton made that irredeemably duff gag about Chinese cockle pickers has not deterred them from reselecting her. But the comedy world is as much dominated by fashion as... well, the fashion world. So I have learned to resist puns and innuendo, but it isn't easy. At a Blue Peter children's Prom this weekend - and let us just pause to consider the resonant potential of "Blue", "Peter" and "Prom" - I tried to sit stony faced while the presenters breathlessly praised the Royal Albert Hall's finest feature: "9,999 pipes! That's quite an organ, isn't it, Liz?" "Yes, Simon, that's certainly one powerful organ." I have to tell you it was hard. Keeping a straight face, I mean, not the organ. (Damn, I just can't help myself.) Which brings us back to Napoleon ... Bonaparte ... (I'm resisting the innuendo locked within those three syllables, but it's killing me.) My brief for this column was to find a story that shouted to me and run with it. I could have chosen anything, but while Napoleon didn't shout to me, his enemas did. For all the wrong reasons. And, as I have my reputation to consider, instead of basing a column on a cheap joke, I've wasted one explaining my decision not to. But in doing so, I have created a spurious link between me and the great Corsican: Napoleon was defeated by Nelson; I, alas, was crushed by the column.

It's good to see that pen-l is receiving my missives even I am not receiving yours... JD Michael Perelman wrote: it's interesting (to me, at least), that the ideal market of neoclassical economics -- the perfectly competitive market -- does not allow diversity; diversity undermines perfection. On the other hand, the more realistic story of atomistic markets that neoclassical economics typically plays down -- the monopolistically competitive market -- is the one that assumes diversity, at least in terms of the product being sold.

There is a book out on this but I have not seen it yet. The book information is below. Also, there is a related interesting article in the recent issue of The National Interest, a sample of which you can read here: http://www.nationalinterest.org/issues/67/Jones.html There are two other books mentioned in the above article that the interested researchers may find useful. One of them is called The End of Globalization. Apparently, The National Interest is very much interested in publishing information about The End of everything, from history to globalization. Sabri ++ Stress Testing the System: Simulating the Global Consequences of the Next Financial Crisis By Roger M. Kubarych Council on Foreign Relations ( October 2001 ) Order direct from Distributor What if you took seventy-five of the most experienced professionals in the fields of finance, economics, foreign policy, and national security and confronted them with two dozen policy problems triggered by a massive contraction in the stock markets? That was the premise of an unprecedented simulation conducted by the Council on Foreign Relations, and the subject of Council Fellow Roger Kubarychs new book Stress Testing the System: Simulating the GlobalConsequences of the Next Financial Crisis. This book captures the way in which the simulation was organized and played out at a time when the U.S. stood at the pinnacle of the 1990s high-tech boom. The major conclusion that flows from the work of Kubarych and his colleagues is this: when there is a shock to the international financial system, U.S. policymakers will deal with the financial crisis first, even when there are other foreign policy and security concerns at stake. Because the strength of the U.S. economy is so critical to global prosperity and to the financial health and political stability of most nations, without first restoring stability in the markets and reducing the potential for subsequent negative economic consequences, policies to address other problems will be less effective. This hypothetical crisis helps us better understand the ripple effects of recent financial troubles. Crises reverberated through Mexico in 1994-95, Asia in 1997-98, Russia and Brazil in 1998, and, just recently, Argentina and Turkey. In every case, what began as financial traumas soon broadened out to infect the economies, and almost always the political systems, of these countries. Even the United States, largely spared financial trauma during the past ten years, is beleaguered by the precipitous drop in the high-tech equity sector, and people are uneasy about the U.S. economic outlook. The Councils simulation was an exploration of financial vulnerabilities and their connections with broader economic, foreign policy, and national security considerations. It assumes that economic and market forces will play an increasing role in the setting of policy objectives, priorities, strategies, and responses. The aim was to challenge a group of experts to work through the options and constraints facing the U.S. government in the aftermath of an unforeseen financial crisis beginning in the United States and spreading throughout Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world. This book is more than a revealing account of the lessons and implications of time and crisis-pressured decision making: it is an instructive guide for how best to organize business and financial war-gaming. Kubarych provides an insiders look at the collaboration among great minds that led to a successfully crafted scenario that was played out with real-world accuracy.

[PEN-L:4591] US military uses Yugoslavia as testing ground for high-tech
WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : The Balkan Crisis US military uses Yugoslavia as testing ground for high-tech weaponry By Jerry White 27 March 1999 The US military has welcomed the confrontation with Serbia as an opportunity to test its arsenal of high-tech weaponry and to train American military personnel in a new theater of war. Military commanders were elated the night the bombing began, according to the New York Times. "For some diplomats and officials at NATO headquarters in Brussels, where [Supreme Commander US General Wesley] Clark has made no secret of his judgment that an air campaign against Milosevic was justified long ago, the mood this evening was almost jubilant," the newspaper wrote. "'It's accelerating and exhilarating,' said one." Each branch of the armed forces is jockeying for the chance to display its weapon systems, regardless of whether any specific military purpose is fulfilled, simply to justify their multibillion-dollar budgets. Since the bombing began US Navy warships and submarines in the Adriatic Sea, and bombers flown from Italy, have launched scores of cruise missiles at Serbian targets. These include a new generation of Tomahawk missiles, which the Pentagon says have "proven effective" during recent raids against Iraq, hitting 80 percent of their targets. Military planners prefer the unmanned missiles--which cost $750,000 each--in the initial stages of an attack rather than risking more expensive manned aircraft. The cruise missiles, built by Raytheon Corporation, are launched with the click of a computer mouse from ships floating well out of reach of any enemy threat. Traveling at the speed of sound, the missiles are guided to their targets by 24 global positioning satellites orbiting the earth. Wednesday was also the debut of the US Air Force's most expensive warplane, the B-2 "Spirit" stealth bomber. Two of the $2.2 billion planes flew from air bases in Missouri to Yugoslavia, where they dropped 40,000 pounds of bombs each, and then returned nonstop to the US. First introduced in 1988 for long-range nuclear strikes deep into the former Soviet Union, the plane had been plagued by technical problems, including a radar system which had difficulty distinguishing mountain ranges from clouds and radar-absorbent paint that wore off too quickly. The fear of losing the aircraft, two of which cost as much as an aircraft carrier, led the military to pass over the B-2 for combat missions at a time when every other strike aircraft was being deployed in the Persian Gulf. The Air Force had been "champing at the bit" to test its B-2 squadron on real missions since its deployment in 1993, said Chris Hillman, an analyst with the Center for Defense Information in Washington, DC. Although the military has simulated using the B-2s, Hillman said simulations are like video games when compared to real battle. The only true test of the B-2 "is to have somebody who really hates us trying to shoot us down," he said. After the mission General Leroy Barnidge, commander of the B-2 Bomb Wing in Missouri, said, "I got to tell you, the crews in these jets performed magnificently. It says to the critics that this plane did everything it advertised, and then some." The US currently has a fleet of 21 B-2 bombers, which costs $44 billion. The warplane's "success" over the skies of Yugoslavia will surely mean billions more in future procurements for manufacturer Northrop Grumman. Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other US defense contractors have made no secret of the fact that they see the conflict in Yugoslavia as an opport
