30 Books Mattis Thinks Every Good Leader Needs To Read. James Mattis, the Marine Corps general-turned secretary of defense, is known for many things, including his prolific reading list.
We know everyone jokes that Marines can’t read, but Mattis has probably perused more books in a year than most people manage in a lifetime. He sat down with Foreign Policy and listed some of the books he believes that every military leader should read. “You need to have that broader reading as you grow and personally develop so you can actually do the job as a military officer,” he said. It’s a hefty list, but here are 30 of Mattis’ favorite books.
With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by E. ‘Being age-sensitive matters’: Mike Babcock a ‘great coach and communicator’ for Toronto Maple Leafs’ youngsters. WASHINGTON — For Mike Babcock, the fine line between coach and father is hard not to cross.
It comes from having three kids ages 20-24 and nine Maple Leafs born in 1993 or after. So when Babcock talks to Connor Carrick, who turned 23 on Thursday, he might as well be looking at his own son, Michael, a 22-year-old forward at Merrimack College in Massachusetts. “I’ve said to my son a number of times this year, what are the (players) thinking? ,” Babcock said.

A top House Republican wants to cut a deal with U.S. banks: Raise several hundred billions of dollars in additional capital and Washington will let you break free from a litany of burdensome rules.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling has made the idea a key provision of his long-shot proposal for scrapping the Dodd-Frank Act. The plan, which Hensarling outlined Tuesday, also would get rid of Volcker Rule limits on banks trading with their own capital and change the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s structure to make the agency’s director less powerful. Information asymmetry: Secrets and agents. IN 2007 the state of Washington introduced a new rule aimed at making the labour market fairer: firms were banned from checking job applicants’ credit scores.
Campaigners celebrated the new law as a step towards equality—an applicant with a low credit score is much more likely to be poor, black or young. Since then, ten other states have followed suit. But when Robert Clifford and Daniel Shoag, two economists, recently studied the bans, they found that the laws left blacks and the young with fewer jobs, not more. Before 1970, economists would not have found much in their discipline to help them mull this puzzle. World War Three, by Mistake. On June 3, 1980, at about two-thirty in the morning, computers at the National Military Command Center, beneath the Pentagon, at the headquarters of the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), deep within Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, and at Site R, the Pentagon’s alternate command post center hidden inside Raven Rock Mountain, Pennsylvania, issued an urgent warning: the Soviet Union had just launched a nuclear attack on the United States.
The Soviets had recently invaded Afghanistan, and the animosity between the two superpowers was greater than at any other time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. U.S. Air Force ballistic-missile crews removed their launch keys from the safes, bomber crews ran to their planes, fighter planes took off to search the skies, and the Federal Aviation Administration prepared to order every airborne commercial airliner to land.
