References ii Dedication This book is dedicated to: The millions of children who have died in wars, and tens of millions more maimed or orphaned, all due to wars which none of them created. To peace people, exemplified by Joseph Schwartzberg, Louise Pardee, William Eckhardt, Elsie Evans, and Arthur Sternberg, among many others who have dedicated themselves to abolition of the institution of war. To the honorable soldiers, exemplified by General John Vessey, Colonel David Pearson and Chief Warrent Officer Bill McCoy, among many others who have suffered and sacrificed to protect their peoples and to preserve essential human values like freedom. And especially to my wife, Jo Ann, who has carried a very heavy load during my 20 years work on this subject. The solutions to war require wisdom from many sources, but in particular I commend attention to the views of honorable soldiers and thoughtful peace people, each of whom hold about half the answer to the challenge of survival which confronts us all today. iii Acknowledgments It is not possible to do justice in this space to the thousands of people who have helped in large and small ways with this work. Consider the bibliography one other list of people who have worked, some for most of their professional lives, on parts of the problem I address here. Many other individuals have helped, from the 70 who submitted to detailed interviews on their views on war causes, to many students and faculty at many colleges who helped in many other ways with information and perspectives, to spies and former spies, most of whom do not desire specific recognition. I will remember the 12 people and six groups that follow with especial thanks, for reasons which they all know. All errors are, of course, my fault.

They were pushing a carriage with a 3 to 4 month baby girl inside, as innocent as we all begin. The two 13 year olds started a conversation with the spe- cial charm which Irish people have, and captured in micro-scale the dilemma which confronts the whole world today. I had come to Belfast to learn from a professor about economic aspects of the conflict there, so I asked the girls what they thought of the “troubles.” They talked about the violence, boundaries and fear. Natalie’s uncle had been murdered two years earlier in a political attack, and both had to be careful where they walked and how they talked. They told me about the young men doing acts of daring to gain membership in gangs, how the boys would open their knives and wave them at the girls if they found they belonged to the “other” religion. They told me how another relative was beaten near to death in front of his toddler child, in an endless cycle of revenge where membership in the “other” church is all that is required to be a target. Unlike the adults I talked to there, the girls said not a word about politics, history or economics, only stories about growing up amidst violence and hatred. Minutes later, an elderly man from the “other” side approached me and filled my ear about the wickedness of those who had murdered and attempted murder the day before. His hatred and complete conviction in the rightness of his side were intense. His devotion to, and respect for, the leaders of his side was deeply sincere. All this happened in the same park, on the same day, in a town on our tiny planet Earth, which is preparing for another general war as I write. Which sides these people come from matters little to me; how they came to see each other as dangerous enemies matters a great deal. The conflict in Northern Ireland does not even count as a war by most definitions (I use Eckhardt’s which requires at least 1000 dead per one year as a result of armed violence involving at least one gov- ernment). In over 25 years of recent troubles, “only” about 3,200 have died in and directly related to the politics of Northern Ireland. But those troubles have permeated the lives of millions; it affects where they travel, what they say, how they think, the postage, the currency, who gets the plum jobs and who the crumbs, the basic structure of the economy they depend on, and fun- damental concepts of religion and civil life. So I will refer to Belfast, Northern Ireland, from time to time in this book even though the killing there is so small it escapes the lists of wars and genocides I study every day. Because Natalie and Alison and the baby child they escorted around the narrow circuit within which they felt safe, deserve a future.

Published by the U.S. Government Accountability Office; May 2018 https://www.gao.gov/assets/700/692136.pdf What GAO Found In fiscal year 2017, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) made mixed progress in achieving its delivery and testing goals. • MDA continued to deliver assets to the military services. However, system-level integrated capabilities, such as some discrimination and integrated cyber defense improvements, were delayed and delivered with performance limitations. • Several programs achieved notable firsts, including the first intercept of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. However, one program experienced a failure, and other tests were delayed or deleted. Moreover, GAO found challenges in MDA’s processes for communicating the extent and limitations of integrated capabilities when they are delivered. As a result, warfighters do not have full insight into the capabilities MDA delivers. twitter.com/USAF_CSDS | cuws.au.af.mil // 2 // USAF CSDS News and Analysis Issue 1317 // TABLE OF CONTENTS NUCLEAR WEAPONS North Korea Nuclear Disarmament Could Take 15 Years, Expert Warns (New York Times) As the Trump administration races to start talks with North Korea on what it calls “rapid denuclearization,” a top federal government adviser who has repeatedly visited the North’s sprawling atomic complex is warning that the disarmament process could take far longer, up to 15 years. 20 Years After Pokhran-II: Have Nuclear Weapons Made India More Secure?

    DEATH AND ETHNICITY: A PSYCHOCULTURAL STUDY— TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER Cynthia A. Peveto, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2001 APPROVED: Bert Hayslip, Jr., Major Professor John Hipple, Committee Member Judith A. McConnell, Committee Member C. Edward Watkins, Committee Member C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Peveto, Cynthia A., Death and ethnicity: A psychocultural study – twenty-five years later. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), December 2001, 232 pp., 1 table, 3 appendices, references, 103 titles. This study compares ethnic, age, and gender differences concerning attitudes and behaviors toward death, dying, and bereavement among Caucasian, African, Hispanic, and Asian American adult participants in north Texas with the results of a 1976 study by Kalish and Reynolds on death attitudes and behaviors of Caucasian, African, Mexican, and Japanese American adult participants in Los Angeles, California. A modified version of Kalish and Reynolds’ study questionnaire was administered to 526 respondents (164 Caucasian, 100 African, 205 Hispanic, and 57 Asian Americans) recruited from community and church groups. Findings of this study were compared with those of Kalish and Reynolds in specific areas, including experience with death, attitudes toward one’s own death, dying, and afterlife, and attitudes toward the dying, death, or grief of someone else. Data was analyzed employing the same statistical tools as those used by Kalish and Reynolds, i.e., chi square calculations, frequencies, percentages, averages, and analyses of variance. As compared with the earlier study, results indicated that this study’s participants were less likely to have known as many persons who had died recently or to state they would try very hard to control grief emotions in public.

  • Salmonella Enterica Genomes from Victims of a Major Sixteenth-Century Epidemic in Mexico
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-017-0446-6 Salmonella enterica genomes from victims of a major sixteenth-century epidemic in Mexico Åshild J. Vågene1,2, Alexander Herbig 1,2*, Michael G. Campana 3,4,7, Nelly M. Robles García5, Christina Warinner1, Susanna Sabin1, Maria A. Spyrou1,2, Aida Andrades Valtueña1, Daniel Huson6, Noreen Tuross3*, Kirsten I. Bos1,2* and Johannes Krause 1,2* Indigenous populations of the Americas experienced high mortality rates during the early contact period as a result of infec- tious diseases, many of which were introduced by Europeans. Most of the pathogenic agents that caused these outbreaks remain unknown. Through the introduction of a new metagenomic analysis tool called MALT, applied here to search for traces of ancient pathogen DNA, we were able to identify Salmonella enterica in individuals buried in an early contact era epidemic cemetery at Teposcolula-Yucundaa, Oaxaca in southern Mexico. This cemetery is linked, based on historical and archaeological evidence, to the 1545–1550 CE epidemic that affected large parts of Mexico. Locally, this epidemic was known as ‘cocoliztli’, the pathogenic cause of which has been debated for more than a century. Here, we present genome-wide data from ten individuals for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi C, a bacterial cause of enteric fever. We propose that S. Paratyphi C be considered a strong candidate for the epidemic population decline during the 1545 cocoliztli outbreak at Teposcolula-Yucundaa. nfectious diseases introduced to the New World following a foundation in germ theory and describe historical forms of a con- European contact led to successive outbreaks in many regions dition that may differ from modern manifestations8,11.
