    Richard E. Neustadt and Ernest R. May, "Thinking in Time" (1984)

    "We classify analogies according to allure.  In the
    Korean case, as the North Koreans stormed across the
    parallel at the outset of the war, the analogy was            SIMILARLY
    irresistible.  Everyone saw events of the 1930s
    being replayed, and everyone agreed about the
    central lesson of those events: that aggression had
    to be resisted.  Other analogies can be classified
    rather as captivating, not necessarily irresistible.
    Some are merely seductive.  Still others are like
    the girl (or boy) next door: so familiar that
    attachment develops unnoticed." (p. 48)
