I don't have a particular tactic, really. I've only put this into place about half a year ago. Guess there's no better way than just to get them out and dust them off once in a while

RE: Today's Hospitals Can Learn From Florence Nightingale
Healthcare has become a mass-industry, and hospitals are often quite massive as well. It's all about efficiency, but sometimes the patients themselves get lost in the shuffle. Western medicine has made

RE: 'Earl Browder; the failure of American Communism' by James G. Ryan
Thanks for the kind words. The small summation I did of course leaves out many possible names/parties you could name. Also within that list, Huey Long would not really be considered a leftist in any capacity

RE: 'Unity and Separation' by L.J. Rogier
It's good to know people enjoy the reviews. I bought the book on Bukharin for 15 Euros on Amazon.nl, but I see that it's 30 dollars on the .com website, more than half again as much. Remarkable that there's

RE: 'Anglicanism' by Stephen Neill
Interesting. My background is Dutch Reformed, i.e. Calvinist, so it's somewhat similar to yours. All Dutch Protestants are Presbyterians; the term Episcopalian I only learned several years ago. It's got

RE: Book Review: The Travels of Reverend Ólafur Egilsson The Story of the Barbary Corsair Raid on Iceland of 1627
A GREAT subject. I'd heard about these raids before; didn't know there was a specific book dedicated to it. All too often talk of 'slavery' only is about the trans-atlantic trade of Africans, which was

RE: Hyperion Cantos
Nice. I recently read Simmons' Ilium and Olympos, another series of his. Will probably be writing a review of them as well. I was looking to pick up this series too; it's good to seet that there's more

Interesting, I've never heard of this one. It seems like Campbell is one of those few literary voices in the early 20th century who wasn't all that optimistic about the rise of modern technology. Many

Interesting subject, thanks for your input. I have my 2 cents about it though. Nietzsche was indeed often mentioned in German circles at the time, particularly through the word Ubermensch; but this took
