Mandeville, LA - "Arnold Toynbee has devoted much of his A Study of History to analyzing the kinds of challenge faced by a variety of cultures during many centuries.

Veritas et Sapientia – Just War Always Has Peace As Its Goal

Mandeville, LA - "The tone in which we speak of our enemies determines our success in turning them into allies.

Veritas et Sapientia: Where Did All The MEN Go!?

Mandeville, LA - "For too long, our society has allowed men to slip into narcissism, pornography and hurriedness, afflictions which Mr. Braudrick wisely treats as intoxicants.
