Get a good education without massive debt, and enter a field that's
actually hiring In coming years, millions of great jobs will be
opening up in growth areas like advanced manufacturing,
biotechnology, health care, information technology, and sustainable
energy. These jobs can pay as well as, or much better than, the
average income for four-year college graduates. They generally
offer high levels of day-to-day satisfaction. And the path to all
of them begins in the community colleges. In The Community College
Career Track, Tom Snyder gives young people and their parents, as
well as mid-life career changers, a practical, inspiring guide to
taking that path and completing it successfully. The old model of a
bachelor's degree leading to a good job and career has broken down
for large numbers of young people, many of whom graduate college
only to work in a career that doesn't require a degree. Meanwhile,
millions of productive American white collar and blue-collar
workers have been laid off and need retraining for second careers.

Can we achieve justice during war? Should law substitute for
realpolitik? Can an international court act against the global
community that created it? Justice in a Time of War is a
translation from the French of the first complete,
behind-the-scenes story of the International Criminal Tribunal for
the Former Yugoslavia, from its proposal by Balkan journalist Mirko
Klarin through recent developments in the trial of Slobodan
Milosevic. It is also a meditation on the conflicting intersection
of law and politics in achieving justice and peace. Le Monde's
review (November 3, 2000) of the original edition recommended
Hazan's book as a nuanced account of the Tribunal that should be a
must-read for the new leaders of Yugoslavia. "" The story Pierre
Hazan tells is that of an institution which, over the course of the
years, has managed to escape in large measure from the initial
hidden motives and manipulations of those who created it (and not
only the Americans)."" With insider interviews filling out every
scene, Hazan tells a chaotic story of war that raged while the
Western powers cobbled together a tribunal in order to avoid actual
intervention. The international lawyers and judges for this rump
world court started with nothing - but they ultimately established
the tribunal as an unavoidable actor in the Balkans. The West had
created the Tribunal in 1993, hoping to threaten international
criminals with indictment and thereby force an untenable peace. In
1999, the Tribunal suddenly became useful to NATO countries as a
means by which to criminalize Milosevic's regime and to justify
military intervention in Kosovo and in Serbia. Ultimately, this
hastened the end of Milosevic's rule and led the way to history's
first war crimes trial of a former president by an international
tribunal. Hazan's account of the Tribunal's formation and evolution
questions the contradictory policies of the Western powers and
illuminates a cautionary tale for the reader: realizing ideals in a
world enamored of realpolitik is a difficult and often haphazard
activity.
