The work part was challenging, but that made the all-too-short free time with the hubby that much more enjoyable.

Granted theirs might be a little more expensive than you would want to do for a garage sale, but it will give you a good idea. If you're going to frame them too don't forget to add in the cost of the frame.

As you know, primary sources are mandatory for research papers, but there's also the ability to interview "experts" who may add insight to various points you're making (or reiterate those you argue). Such interviews are also considered primary (and therefore) valid sources. There may not be a vast amount of written materials, but I bet you know people who know people (and so on) you could use for info. And since there appears to be a dearth of documented materials, turn your paper into a book and, as your mom said, become the expert.Junie Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561131734782279400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457788126983119870.post-5209978844589487622010-04-27T15:12:26.833-04:002010-04-27T15:12:26.833-04:00You mean aside from the fact that writing research...You mean aside from the fact that writing research papers would be a heck of a lot easier? ;)<br /><br />I tend to agree on the usage of "cyberwarfare" vs. the other options, but as I'm not yet an authority on the topic (though at this point, who's around to argue?)...

That's like never adding a new spice to your cooking. Why should you get your M.A. in cybersecurity policy instead of military history? Because you are unique and insightful and curious. But mostly, because YOU can become the "authority" upon whom others rely.... and how cool would THAT be?!
