This article traces elements of the learning of a doctoral student. It concerns attempts to bridge a number of gaps between supervisor and student in the process of studying for a PhD. In particular, it portrays differences in culture, gender, family, age, and experience and how those differences influenced the thinking of the student. A layered discourse of readings, misreadings, and rereadings is developed, drawing on the substantive literature on 'lone motherhood', on studies of doctoral supervision, and on anthropological insights into the nature of cultural differences. It is a case study in finding the 'missing' (or not yet known) person who is the lone mother and the lone researcher who 'reveals' herself to herself through interaction with her supervisors. The supervisors are also 'rewritten' in their situated self-understandings during this process.

This essay examines strategies to counter the threat of lone wolf terrorism. Lone wolves implement a tactical approach dubbed 'leaderless resistance,' which has become popular in several extremist subcultures. Although most episodes of lone wolf terrorism have not been highly destructive, there are notable exceptions that have claimed a substantial number of victims. The lone wolf trend should be contextualized in the evolution of conflict and strategy in which smaller and smaller entities figure prominently. Elements of the counterinsurgency doctrine can be applied to lone wolf terrorism. A comprehensive counterterrorism strategy must prepare for the prospect of lone wolf terrorism because of the increasing number of small-scale attacks, the large number of soft targets in contemporary society, and the potential damage that individuals can cause with the use of weapons of mass destruction.
