...sight of the purpose of a college soccer program. A college soccer program is not set up to develop American, British or any other nationality of soccer players. That's good, too because realistically it could not do that. A soccer player's career lasts 27 years from the age of 10 until about the age of 37.

While some insurgents fought government troops with Kalashnikov rifles, many others went into battle bare chested and armed with nothing more than sticks and rocks. These warriors were following the orders of a 27-year-old self-styled "priestess" known as Mama Alice, who was trying to overthrow the government of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni with an odd mixture of Christian theology and African witchcraft. Believers in her Holy Spirit Movement...
