Competitive forensics is an intellectual exercise, not a way of addressing or solving social problems. It's like translating Cæsar's Commentaries — you're not likely or expected to have any new and valuable insights that previous translators missed, but it builds and demonstrates certain kinds of abilities and readiness.

Seeing it any other way, using it any other way, is a conceptual error with the usual outcomes.

I think there is great potential in using the Treaty of Tlatelolco as a mechanism for pooling national resources to advance nuclear energy in Latin America.

It would be if anybody cared. But California government is intensely dysfunctional. If anything, it's worse than Texas (where I'm from), which is really difficult.

The monument to PRR men who died in the two World Wars, inside, has to be seen to be believed. Photos don't do it justice.

There's also that fascinating relief of "the progress of Transportation" just off the main hall.
