I'd love to hear a decent, historically-informed discussion on Iraq by people who are well-versed in the facts. Reading online discussions and blog comments is a very inefficient way of understanding the issues. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/iraqwar.html&quot;&gt;This list of links&lt;/a&gt; is good, but there's no audio." created="Tue, 18 Apr 2006 21:49:13 GMT"/>		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://peterwall.blogdns.net/archives/2006/04/the_joy_of_blog.html&quot;&gt;Peter&lt;/a&gt; has got cranks!

Well, unlike creationist evidence, there's evidence of the 'silly' proposition in spades.

The OS X instructions on the wiki are good, especially now that the whole setup is Univseralised. I'm turning out JuraBib. Now, JuraBib is a good system. It has about three default styles, and they're all good. The problem with BibTex is that there are hundreds of variations for obscure journals but very few really good general purpose humanities styles." created="Tue, 18 Apr 2006 16:27:11 GMT"/>			<outline text="The &lt;i&gt;jureco&lt;/i&gt; theme is exactly what I've been looking for. The thing which JuraBib does nicely is that it actually lets you put in 'text before', which is so useful if you are doing lots of &quot;Smith in Jones, 1970&quot; style references, as you can keep a consistent style throughout your document. They all come out like {(Smith in Jones, 1970, p. 4)} rather than before where you had to do (Smith in {Jones, 1970, p.4}). Small difference, but when you're writing lots, it's important." created="Tue, 18 Apr 2006 16:28:53 GMT"/>			<outline text="Next pet peeve: there aren't enough music podcasts without talking.
