Some marriage experts don’t agree that polyamory’s impact on children is neutral, though. "We know that kids thrive on stable routines with stable caregivers,” said W. Bradford Wilcox, a sociologist and the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. Polyamory can be like a “marriage-go-round,” Wilcox said. “When kids are exposed to a revolving carousel of spouses, that experience of instability and transition can be traumatic.”
What was also obvious in the report was the dissatisfaction marketers feel about their overall financial entitlements. Less than half of all those surveyed, in fact, believe they are fairly paid. “This high degree of dissatisfaction suggests that either CMOs are actually underpaid relative to key benchmarks identified in the report, or that CMOs just believe they are underpaid,” commented report author, Dr. Kimberly Whitler of the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.

The title of The Triumph of Improvisation reflects that Wilson is writing against the backdrop of studies in “Grand Strategy”, as typified by Yale’s popular programme. The author seems surprised that leaders do not operate according to a “master plan”. But he describes artfully the practitioner’s reality of how policy is devised, tried, questioned, reconsidered, adjusted – and continually reargued. Moreover, it is encouraging that Wilson – and his mentors at the University of Virginia – are reviving the discipline of diplomatic history and ...

But when she first heard it, she laughed hy...
