...troops, is higher than at the school's founding. Indeed, until the opponents can convince strong U.S. allies like Colombia, which alone sends around 250 troops a year, its impact will be diminished. Still, SOA Watch contends the country withdrawals have hit harder than the school wants to admit and claims there are no more than 670 currently training at Fort Benning...
...tabloidesque story is straight out of Hollywood: a politician's son is wheeled into the hospital after a night of partying, only a month after his father, a leading politician, was gunned down by his brother. The doctors admit that the prodigal son's blood is swimming with traces of cocaine, opiates, barbiturates and cannabis, among other substances.

It seems to me that she, alone of the cast, has the true Keillorian spirit, which is simply to use a kind of perpetual perkiness to elbow aside the surrounding dread (or at least darkness). I'm guessing, of course, but I suspect that's a spirit that she found in herself, that it's not something Altman coaxed out of her. There's no evidence...
