REPORTS & COMMENT:
NOTES:
MILITARY EFFICIENCY: There is much not to like about the U.S. military, but it has done many jobs well, and those jobs have not been confined to national defense. by JAMES FALLOWS.
SOUTH AFRICA:
ODIUM AFRICANUM "South Africa" means two things at once: one is the actual country, and the other is the way the country exists in the perceptions of people of various ideological persuasions. "Misunderstood," the author writes, "South Africa has been extraordinarily useful, to just about everyone." by GEOFFREY WHEATCROFT.
SPAIN:
THE BLACK LEGEND In the sixteenth century anti-Spanish propagandists in England, the Netherlands, and elsewhere--with considerable help from the enemy itself--set out to besmirch the reputation of Spain and Spaniards. Now a modern democracy, Spain is fighting back. by DAVID EWING DUNCAN.

WAITING FOR THE WEEKEND: In a wide-ranging essay a noted architect and social historian recounts how, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the fact of the weekend very gradually came into being--and eventually gave rise to the idea of the weekend. by WITOLD RYBCZYNSKI.

HEALTHY COMPETITION: In the debate over who will pay for health care in America, proposals usually fall into two categories: national health insurance, and an extension of the current system of employer-bought policies, with increased government protection for the poor uninsured. The most practical solution may be to create competition in the bloated health-insurance market by requiring Americans to shop for their own policies. by REGINA E. HERZLINGER.

THE UFO EXPERIENCE: The Rocky Mountain Conference on UFO Investigation is an annual get-together for people who believe that they have been abducted by aliens or have had other experiences involving UFOs.
