Keepers of the Spirit
Given in memory of Gene Brossmann by George Richardson.
Not Your Father's Coast Guard
While the Coast Guard's many battles at sea in the War on Drugs are widely known, its participation in the ground offensive is not. Indeed, the Guard didn't just send its cutters to interdict narcotics-laden vessels attempting to bring their illicit cargo into Uncle Sam's territorial waters, it sent ground troops to foreign lands to train their forces and, when necessary, directly engage the enemy. But to create the type of force needed was no small task and would not be without tribulation, both from within and outside the organization. The road traveled to complete the mission was laden with obstacles. This is not a story about the Coast Guard you know, or think you know. Rather, this is a story about the other side, the side that history nearly forgot; not the standard, but the antithesis of standard. It is a story that will undoubtedly make even the most seasoned Coast Guardsmen question their understanding of the organization to which they belong. To be sure, "This is not your father's Coast Guard."

Adaptive Optics
Adaptive optics is a field which is coming into its own with new discoveries occurring almost daily both in astronomy and in applications of AO in applied fields. In an adaptive optics system, the output from a wavefront sensor is used to calculate corrections that actively remove distortions from an image. The applications of adaptive optics in vision science have received considerable impetus from the knowledge developed by astronomers about how to correct images using AO technology. It is expected that developments in adaptive optics will radically change the face of astronomy in the 21st century. These systems will largely overcome the main limitation of ground-based telescopes, namely t...
Liquidación por derribo
El acto de escribir un diario, la disciplina casi cotidiana de llevar al papel los mil rumores de la vida en torno, y los ruidos, y los estruendos, tiene, al mismo tiempo, algo de conjuro y algo de provocación. En efecto, el escritor exorciza, a través de la razionalización implícita en el propio acto de la escritura, los mil y un sucesos que atraviesan nuestras horas. Y provoca, en el mismo acto, nuevos actos, nuevos sucesos, nuevos rumores, y ruidos, y estruendos. Pero ni ese exorcismo ni esa provocación constituyen, en sí mismos, el objetivo último del autor. No. El escritor de diarios, y más claramente aún si se trata de un escritor con la potencia literaria de Sánchez-Ostiz, reflexiona sobre sí mismo y su peripecia vital, no tan alejada, a fin de cuentas, de la del lector, simultáneamente voyeur y cómplice de un soliloquio a veces amargo, a veces tierno, siempre enriquecedor.
