  • Rules for the Heavens: the Coming Revolution in Space and the Laws of War
    RULES FOR THE HEAVENS: THE COMING REVOLUTION IN SPACE AND THE LAWS OF WAR John Yoo* Great powers are increasing their competition in space. Though Russia and the United States have long relied on satellites for surveillance of rival nations’ militaries and the detection of missile launches, the democratization of space through technological advancements has allowed other nations to assert greater control. This Article addresses whether the United States and other nations should develop the space-based weapons that these policies promise, or whether they should cooperate to develop new international agreements to ban them. In some areas of space, proposals for regulation have already come too late. The U.S.’s nuclear deterrent itself depends cru- cially on space: ballistic missiles leave and then re-enter the atmosphere, giving them a global reach without serious defense. As more nations develop nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) technology, outer space will become even more important as an arena for defense against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. North Korea’s progress on ICBM and nuclear technology, for example, will prompt even greater in- vestment in space-based missile defense systems. This Article makes two contributions. First, it argues against a grow- ing academic consensus in favor of a prohibition on military activities in space. It argues that these scholars over-read existing legal instruments and practice. While nations crafted international agreements to bar WMDs in outer space, they carefully left unregulated reconnaissance and commu- nications satellites, space-based conventional weapons, antisatellite sys- tems, and even WMDs that transit through space, such as ballistic missiles.

  • Herbie Hancock
    HERBIE HANCOCK The Warner Bros.-Years 1969-1972 3-CD-Set mit Bonustracks VÖ: 18. Juli 2014 „Herbie war die nächste Stufe nach Bud Powell und Thelonius Monk, und ich habe noch niemanden gehört, der sein Nachfolger sein könnte.“ Mit diesem großen, aber zweifellos gerechtfertigten Lob charakterisierte Miles Davis, der Gigant des Jazz, seinen Musikerkollegen HERBIE HANCOCK in seiner Autobiografie „Miles“. Und tatsächlich gehört HERBIE HANCOCK, dessen Debüt-Album Takin‘ Off im Jahre 1962 erschien, zu den großen Ikonen des Jazz. Wie kaum ein Zweiter eröffnete er dem Jazz die Türen in völlig neue Bereiche, während er einen charakteristischen, unverwechselbaren eigenen Klang entwickelte. Doch auch nach einer fünf Dekaden währenden Karriere, in denen HANCOCK 14(!) Grammys gewann, überrascht er sein Publikum auch heute noch. Es gibt nur sehr wenige Musiker, die einen so starken Einfluss auf akustischen oder elektrischen Jazz und sogar den R&B ausübten wie HERBIE HANCOCK. The Warner Bros.-Years 1969-1972 besteht aus drei legendären Alben die sich allesamt um die Entstehung seiner Mwandishi Band gruppieren, mit der HERBIE HANCOCK völlig neue Wege beschritt. Auf dem Mwandishi-Album von 1971 trennte sich HANCOCK von den üblichen Jazz-Idiomen und entwickelte einen vollkommen neuen Sound, der mit neuer Technologie und neuem Ansatz entstand, indem es Beat, Abstraktion und Afrikanische Einflüsse miteinander verband, Überdies zeichnet sich das Album durch eine kollektivistische Herangehensweise unter einem stabilen Band-Leader aus. Genau genommen führte HANCOCK auf dem Album seine Experimente weiter, die er auf Miles Davis‘ Album A Silent Way (1969) begonnen hatte. Diese vertiefte er zunächst auf seinem frühen Fusion- Album Fat Albert Rotunda (1969), das einen radikalen Schnitt setzte und als erstes Album eines Jazz-Musikers Jazz mit Soul verknüpfte.
