Unchecked, the tourist will climb over the fence and come right into your house to take pictures of you in your habitat. Cities mi...ndful of tourists have built elaborate "tourist traps" which, luckily, work. Tourists are kept confined to these, and few escape. There is, of course, the type known as the "intrepid tourist." This one has to be watched carefully or he can become most annoying. Little wonder these are so often the target of terrorists. If there is an aspect of benign terror about the tourist, there is also a great deal of tourist in the terrorist. Terrorists travel with only one thing in mind, just like the tourist, and the specifics of places escape them both. Terrorists travel for the purpose of shooting unsuspecting foreigners, just as tourists travel for the purpose of shooting them with a camera.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All of women's aspirations--whether for education, work, or any form of self-determination--ultimately rest on their ability to de...cide whether and when to bear children. For this reason, reproductive freedom has always been the most popular item in each of the successive feminist agendas--and the most heavily assaulted target of each backlash.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

In America, you can segregate the people, but the problems will travel. From slavery to equal rights, from state suppression of di...ssent to crime, drugs and unemployment, I can't think of a supposedly Black issue that hasn't wasted the original Black target group and then spread like measles to outlying white experience.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Major sex differences in intellectual function seem to lie in patterns of ability rather than in overall level of intelligence (IQ...).... Men, on average, perform better than women on certain spatial tasks. In particular, men have an advantage in tests that require the subject to imagine rotating an object or manipulating it in some other way. They outperform women in mathematical reasoning tests and in navigating their way through a route. Further, men are more accurate in tests of target-directed motor skills--that is, in guiding or intercepting projectiles. Women tend to be better than men at rapidly identifying matching items, a skill called perceptual speed. They have greater verbal fluency, including the ability to find words that begin with a specific letter or fulfill some other constraint. Women also outperform men in arithmetic calculation and in recalling landmarks from a route. Moreover, women are faster at certain precision manual tasks, such as placing pegs in designated holes on a board.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Men nearly always follow the tracks made by others and proceed in their affairs by imitation, even though they cannot entirely kee...p to the tracks of others or emulate the prowess of their models. So a prudent man should always follow in the footsteps of great men and imitate those who have been outstanding. If his own prowess fails to compare with theirs, at least it has an air of greatness about it. He should behave like those archers who, if they are skilful, when the target seems too distant, know the capabilities of their bow and aim a good deal higher than their objective, not in order to shoot so high but so that by aiming high they can reach the target.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we've been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you're gonna play 'em the Star ...Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you've got to do is to remember what you've learned and follow your squadron leaders. They'll get you in, and they'll get you out. Any questions? All right that's all. Good luck to you. Give 'em hell.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Mothers often take children's negative feelings so personally that the moment they come back from work to a moody child, a whole c...hecklist appears before their eyes. "Was I rushed this morning? Did I forget to pack lunch right? Am I away too much?" This personalization of children's day to day moods (which I've found practically nonexistent in fathers) makes moms an easy target.... Within seconds, children pick up on your guilt and use it to gain special attention.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with symp...athy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
