I also drained the Quantico bookstore, which has a much larger selection then the stuff I bought three years ago. A capsule account follows, for those who might have missed my Twitter updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Biographer Robert Coram opened up at 0915 with a short and touching introduction regarding Boyd&#8217;s life, with acolyte Ray Leopold telling some more amusing anecdotes.

Paul van Riper gave the keynote speech. Riper gave a rather beautiful address about the philosophy of science, the military&#8217;s misunderstanding of complex systems, and the need for operational doctrine that fits better with human experience. As Shipman pointed out to me in an aside, van Riper&#8217;s points were very similar to those recently made by J.S.
