In The March of Folly, historian Barbara Tuchman
expresses how she feels that wooden-headedness,
the source of self-deception, holds a large role
in political affairs. Wooden-headedness consists

argued that wooden-headedness is present in not

The writer agree with this, from reading the book

Chain Of Events One Month

Upon my first reading of Jorge Luis Borges Death
and the Compass I found myself reacting to the
chain of events not unlike the bland but efficient
Inspector Treviranus. The Hotel du Nord with its
hateful whiteness, numbered divisibility, and
general appearance of a bordello seemed a natural
place for a crime of greed and betrayal to have

more than enough to recreate the crime that had
taken place. Insp...
