Your correspondent has too-long trolled the fever swamps and now, through his shivering, chills and sweats has nevertheless detected one of those neo-con plots we’ve all been hearing so much about.

One member of “academe,” Elizabeth D. Samet, has written a book titled “Soldier’s Heart,” an account of her teaching literature to students at West Point. She quotes British General William Francis Butler, who said about the education of soldiers:
