| Summary/Abstract |
THE EFFECTS ON ELECTORAL OUTCOMES attributable to specific events that take place during an election campaign have been difficult to observe using conventional survey methods. Campaign events such as television interviews, poll releases, and newspaper endorsements have generally been seen as negligible when compared with ostensible determinants of vote choice such as partisanship.1 However, there is limited empirical evidence to support or refute the effects of campaign events, given that efforts to infer their size and direction are thwarted by sample limitations that inhibit the measurement of public opinion directly prior to and in the immediate aftermath of a particular event.

| Summary/Abstract |
THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE CHANCE that the Democrats will win the presidential election in November and whether one approves of this outcome or not, it is worth thinking about what a new administration’s foreign policy would look like. Although in politics nothing is certain, as the sole remaining Democratic candidate Joe Biden is very likely to be the nominee and I will use the male pronoun when referring to the new president. He probably will bring with him many officials who had previously served him and President Barack Obama, and while the knowledge and experience of this cohort will be a major asset, the counterpart hazard is the impulse to urge policies that mimic or vindicate Obama’s. It is not necessary to deny the considerable achievements of that administration to note that the world now presents the country with new dangers and new opportunities.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE EMERGENCE OF GLOBAL HYPERCONNECTIVITY through computer networks has occasioned much marvel, reflection, and commentary on its implications for everything from “just‐in‐time” supply chain management to the Internet of Things. These developments are also consequential in national security and intelligence. What must objectively be seen as technological progress has also sparked debates that would have been unimaginable half a century ago, and in fields far beyond computer and political sciences. The desire to protect informational assets from theft, subversion, and degradation and questions about how to exploit networked computing for strategic gain have spurred remarkable developments in intelligence collection, policy, doctrine, law, strategy, and even ethical norms. There are active debates about how cyber considerations affect each field touched by them, and it seems that there remain more unsettled than settled questions about cyber power as a lever of statecraft in the twenty‐first century.

| Summary/Abstract |
ST. AIDAN’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, built in 1911, sat in the middle of a relatively dense and highly desirable residential area in Brookline, Massachusetts. It was, among other things, President John F. Kennedy’s childhood church and the site of his baptism. In 1999, the Archdiocese of Boston merged the shrinking parish with one across town and sought to redevelop the land to create new housing. About one year after closing the church, the diocese was working on a plan to raze the structure and build a six story, 140‐unit residential building with 92 affordable units and 48 market‐rate units.

BIG DATA ARE A SALIENT FEATURE of the information tsunami that characterized the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty‐first century. As a result of the incessant rise in computational power, communication velocity, and storage capacity, new knowledge is accumulating at an exponential rate. Between 2006 and 2011, the amount of data in the world increased almost ninefold. Today, it is expected to double every two years.
