    The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    I did not live until this time
    Crown’d my felicity,
    When I could say without a crime,
    I am not thine, but Thee.

    This carcase breath’d, and walkt, and slept,
    So that the World believ’d
    There was a soul the motions kept;
    But they were all deceiv’d.
    Katherine Philips (1631–1664)

    There’s no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn’t invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II½. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it’s possible.
