A Municipal Repor

The cities are full of pride, Challenging each to each - This from her mountainside, That from her burthened beach R. KIPLING. Fancy a novel about Chicago or Buffalo, let us say, or Nashville, Tennessee! There are just three big cities in the United States that are 'story cities' - New York, of course, New Orleans, and, best of the lot, San Francisco. - FRANK NORRIS EAST IS EAST, and West is San Francisco, according to Californians. Californians are a race of people; they are not merely inhabitants of a State. They are the Southerners of the West. Now, Chicagoans are no less loyal to their city; but when you ask them why, they stammer and speak of lake fish and the new Odd Fellows Building. But Californians go into detail. Of course they have, in the climate, an argument that is good for half an hour while you are thinking of your coal bills and heavy underwear. But as soon as they come to mistake your silence for conviction, madness comes upon them, and they pic...

A Ramble in Aphasia

With the deft touch of long malpractice, she dabbed awry my well-set scarf-pin; and then, as I closed the door, I heard her morning slippers pattering back to her cooling tea.

Preface

I am delighted to present the latest publication from the Stimson Center’s Japan Program. Key Challenges in Japan’s Defense Policy is the seventh volume of Views from the Next Generation, an annual collection of policy briefs that offer recommendations for the most significant challenges facing Japan and its partners today. This edition benefits from the diverse expertise of five leading and emerging scholars, who share with us fresh insights on Japan’s defense policy. The topics they cover—ensuring a human resource base for the military, deterring attacks from new technologies, balancing budget constraints with emerging threats, and maintaining partnerships amidst political changes—are pressing questions for not only Japan but states around the world. As governments design policy to adapt to novel domains like outer space, cyberspace, and the electromagnetic spectrum, the acceleration and complexity of threats mandate new thinking. Here we look to nuanced analysis from up-and-coming e...
