By Pierce O'Donnell and Dennis McDougal with an Introduc- tion by Art Buchwald. Doubleday 1992. 576 pages (including ap- pendixes and index). $25.00. This epic tome, written by Kaye, Scholer partner Pierce O'Donnell and Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter Dennis McDougal, is a complex and itemized account of how Pulitzer- prizewinning columnist Art Buchwald took on a major motion pic- ture studio and won. Fatal Subtraction is a forthright and uncommonly damning study of Hollywood and its hidden profits amidst a labyrinth of lucre, desire, and domination. Self-anointed super-lawyer O'Donnell deposes the likes of actor Eddie Murphy, director John Landis, talk-show host Arsenio Hall, and a series of other studio executives including Disney's whiz kid Jeffrey Katzenberg (who gets a spell of good old-fashioned Ronald Reagan forgetfulness).

    Disclaimer The views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the US Government. 2 The MQ-9 Reaper Remotely Piloted Aircraft: Humans and Machines in Action by Timothy M. Cullen Submitted to the Engineering Systems Division on August 12, 2011 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Systems: Technology, Management, and Policy Abstract Remotely piloted aircraft and the people that control them are changing how the US military operates aircraft and those who fly, yet few know what “drone” operators actually do, why they do what they do, or how they shape and reflect remote air warfare and human-machine relationships. What do the remote operators and intelligence personnel know during missions to “protect and avenge” coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and how do they go about knowing what they know? In an ethnographic and historical analysis of the Air Force’s preeminent weapon system for the counterinsurgencies in the two countries, this study describes how social, technical, and cognitive factors mutually constitute remote air operations in war. Armed with perspectives and methods developed in the fields of the history of technology, sociology of technology, and cognitive anthropology, the author, an Air Force fighter pilot, describes how distributed crews represent, transform, and propagate information to find and kill targets and traces the observed human and machine interactions to policy assumptions, professional identities, employment concepts, and technical tools. In doing so, he shows how the people, practices, and machines associated with remotely piloted aircraft have been oriented to and conditioned by trust in automation, experience, skill, and social interactions and how they have influenced and reflected the evolving operational environment, encompassing organizations, and communities of practice.
