Chapter one (The First Day) Armin He stood in front of the closet mirror with a slight frown. Armin wore a gray hoodie, and dark jeans, along with a pair of old tennis shoes. With hesitation he pinched his cheek between his index finger and thumb, followed by an agitated sigh. They were far too feminine, too soft, too round. His nose was small, his skin was pale. Armin didn’t want that. He didn't want this tiny, frail body. It was useless, completely useless. He was convinced that masculinity…

agreement, taking in seminars at AEI—that’s not good enough. Here’s how the Los Angeles Times recently described Doug Feith, undersecretary of defense and leading neo-imperialist, in his home: “sitting in his library surrounded by stacks of Commentary magazines and books on the British empire and the Middle East.” In other words, an armchair warrior—literally. Is it any wonder Feith has been Ineffective? By contrast, the Highly Effective Imperialist gets off his fanny and “goes native.” We…

James Watson and Francis Crick. They used the x-ray data provided by Rosalind Franklin which helped them to make an accurate model of the DNA. The model presented the structure of DNA showing a double helix with little rungs connecting the two strands and identified that the rungs were the bases of nucleotide. The structures they identified have had minor changes implying that they were a bit perfect despite the challenges faced while bonding the bases together. What followed was to establish…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake my neighbours up.
