No. Jonathan Quick has squeezed a career out of two great months in 21 playing behind a dominant 23-on-20 team in the postseason and now because of that and a fluky showing in a 24-20 loss to Canada in Sochi, Americans have deluded themselves into thinking Quick can steal a gold medal.

However, for those in any state of belief that they are supporting independent music through buying records one day a year, they are about as deluded as someone who thinks they are in a happy and healthy relationship because they go out and buy chocolates and flowers for their partner once a year on Valentine's Day.

The commonly expressed notion before the inauguration, that Trump would herald an outpouring of fabulously angry protest music, was a deluded fantasy — musicians thrive when the culture thrives and retreat into bubbles when the culture nosedives, as demonstrated by the general lameness of the national indie-rock scene under George W. (to choose a random example).

Average course grades, in other words, rose from B+ to A-. To test an obvious alternative hypothesis to that of self-deluded grade inflation—namely that the lecturers' abilities were improving with practice, and that this was increasing their students' grades—the two researchers then looked at grade improvements during the first three years that lecturers taught their courses.

The Democratic National Committee deluded the party's faithful into believing that this was "her time" to break the glass ceiling and that because Trump's rhetoric was so divisive, violent and traumatizing, Clinton could simply leap over the significant hurdles of gender, her own personal image and all of the baggage that accompanies her and her husband.

Complete with an ironically deluded metaphor about a 15th century court dissolved over its tendency to politically oppress its subjects, Cruz, a prolific homophobe in his own right, portrayed YouTube's decision as an attempt at "playing God," while further casting the incident (to be largely forgotten a week from now) as a foretoken of something deeply sinister.

Louise, the protagonist, is a neurotic and self-deluded mess, a people pleaser who so craves the approval of those around her — and the seeming security of their lifestyles — that she resorts to desperate measures to keep the affection of her peers, lying to herself all the while that what she does, she does by necessity.

This is also the main challenge when it comes to building an inclusive culture: When your typical boss is unaware of his limitations, unjustifiably pleased with himself, and deluded about his talents, there is virtually no chance he will take into account other people's views, unless they validate his own narcissism and massage his own egos.

Editorial Before the White House responds to the Pentagon's latest request for a troop surge in Afghanistan to counter insurgent forces that now control substantial parts of the country, it would serve administration officials well to examine the long history of deluded thinking about what could be accomplished if the United States committed more troops to the effort.

It's essentially The Thick of It if one of the characters was a world-famous popstar-turned-deluded fashion icon, and while that's a funny concept as it is, VB takes it by the horns, doing her best David Brent, showing no vanity whatsoever, and self-parodying in a luxurious dressing-gown with the aplomb of me tweeting about eating pizza in bed.

Eager to learn more, Fightland reached out to Trev, the singularly-named head of Bodytonic (described, with McGregor-esque humbleness, in his official bio as "Bodytonic boss, visionary, very good looking, modest and not deluded, whatsoever"), to ask about the genesis of 13 Seconds, what makes the porter so Notorious, and what other fighters the company might like immortalize in hops.

Not only are they designed to provoke and intimidate, but they're supposedly defending a movie in which the protagonist (and one for whom we're at least meant to feel sorry, if not sympathize) fits the profile of many mass shooters: lonely and deluded men who feel as though they've been rejected by society and pick up a gun to make a very public point.

Woodrow Wilson, among others, was not so successful in creating a postwar peace because he forced conditions to preconceived realities that bore little resemblance to emerging ironies at Versailles — and was without a sellable idea of an American role after World War I. Gaddis concludes with an invaluable warning that true morality embraces neither messianic interventionism nor the quest for utopianism — indeed that is how millions become deluded, endangered or doomed.

But it must be acknowledged that if you were scripting a path to the nomination for a populist candidate who only has a third of the party in his corner, this is almost exactly the script that you would write — with a strong but still-limited hard-right candidate like Cruz, and then a logjam of weak and deluded mainstream politicians competing deep into the primary season for the rest of the vote.

As they travel from con to con, the story of Val and Alex butts up against a whole plethora of other stories: the story of Gail and her career aspirations; the story of a struggling indie comic artist, Brett; the story of the women paid to cosplay in skimpy outfits along the con circuit; the story of Anomaly's showrunner turned agoraphobic idea man; and the story of a deluded and murderous fan.

" That's Robert B. Semple Jr. in the Book Review, taking stock of Wills's extraordinary portrait of Richard Nixon, published in 1970, in the context of "a nation whose faith has been corrupted, whose youth knows it has been had, whose president is president only because he has been able to sell a sufficient number of equally deluded souls on the proposition that he can bring us together today 'because he can find the ground where we last stood together years ago.

His other books include "A Dirty Distant War" (1987), a sequel of sorts to "The Dirty Dozen" set in Asia, in which the same Office of Strategic Services officer who organized the criminal company finds himself in French Indochina fighting with local guerrillas against the Japanese; "The Latecomers" (1970), about a psychologically deluded actor with a Christ obsession; "It Gave Everybody Something to Do" (with Louise Thoresen), a seeming memoir about a grotesque marriage that ends in murder (1974); "Knight's Cross" (with Aaron Bank), about German P.O.W.s who turn traitor (1993); and "Lovers and Schemers" (2003), a fictionalized social history of coastal Southern California from the 1960s through the 1990s.

For example, here's Paul Bowles — in 1003 and under the deluded impression that he's European — describing the way that Moroccan folk music, like the material collected in this box set, is best enjoyed: It's not required that you slice yourself while listening to this majestically packaged four-CD set of recordings, but as you launch these digital treasures from your hard drive or cloud or compact disc machine, keep in mind that the folk music performances captured by Paul Bowles in 1959 — and collected here by Dust-to-Digital as Music of Morocco — were recorded on ¼-inch reel-to-reel tape, on an Ampex 601.
