...voted "best looking" in his class. That Sergeant Jeannette Winters was the first servicewoman to die in this war. That Lance Corporal Bryan Bertrand had just re-enlisted for another tour because he didn't want to sit on the sidelines at a time like this. Last week Green Beret Nathan Ross Chapman was buried by his family: we met his widow Renae on the Today show, saw the broken-heart necklace that he had given her. And last week Lisa Beamer, widow of Todd, hero of Flight 93, had her baby, Morgan...
...things weren't already murky enough, they grew darker on Friday, when Green Beret Sergeant Nathan Ross Chapman became the first U.S. serviceman to die from enemy fire during the three-month campaign.

His taste for hats evolved into more sophisticated territory as he grew up. He is very specific and has a quota of one hat per style (one beret, one fedora, etc.). He sleeps under an expensive, plush blue wool cap. Different hats occupy his entire immaculately organized bookshelf. Telfeyan, whose favorite hat is a green beret, explains that all of his hats are from back home and that he probably single-handedly supported his local hat store, an opinion...
...Michael L. Stewart ’05 is shown here wearing a trench coat ($25), shirt ($2) and beret ($1) that evoke an artsier Harvard Square winter of decades past. A lesser known brand, Forecaster of Boston, makes the coat, which features a shockingly Burberry-esque tartan liner...
