    ISRAEL AND THE WMD THREAT: LESSONS FOR EUROPE By Cameron S. Brown* Having faced a growing threat from the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) for the past several decades, Israel has been forced to make counter-proliferation a top national defense priority.(1) It has invested billions of dollars in developing a multi-layered national defense strategy that is arguably the most highly developed of any country on earth. As such, Israel's experience in this field can offer several important lessons (from its mistakes and successes) for European countries that are only now coming under the range of several rogue countries' long-range missile systems, not to mention the growing threat of WMD terrorism (This article was originally written for a project and conference on "Countering Threats in the Era of Mass Destruction: Accounts from the Middle East and Europe," co-sponsored by the GLORIA Center and The Military Centre for Strategic Studies (CeMiSS) of Italy.)

  • Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management
    Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management Academic year 2004 was marked by curriculum and program changes that attest to our continued commitment to innovation. In addition, this year marked a large step forward in the assessment of the MIT Sloan brand and the creation of tools to evaluate and strengthen that brand across the global business community. As competition for the best students continues to grow, our investment in showing the world that we are the leader in innovative management theory and practice (our legacy of mens et manus) continues to be critical. Academic Program Updates MBA Program. The new MBA curriculum, launched in fall 2003, met with great success. While we retained the academic rigor, focus on teamwork, and some core courses, the new curriculum streamlines the core requirements, increases flexibility (so that students can design their program to suit their personal interests and needs), provides an integrated, cross‐functional perspective early in the program, and gives students access to cutting‐edge faculty research early and often throughout their time on campus. We are also pleased to announce that the MIT Sloan MBA Program had the highest or second‐highest student employment rate among top business schools for the third year in a row. MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. With the strategic integration of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program and the MIT Management of Technology Program, the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership was launched in June 2004, with a strong and diverse class that reflects the strengths of both parent programs.
