...clear: Debate a flag-burning amendment if you wish. But don't create the perception among our young men and women in combat that there are more important issues than their welfare at the moment. Wait a while. At least for their sake, wait until the last flag-draped coffin comes home. Scales, who commanded two units in Vietnam an was awarded a Silver Star, served 34 years in the Army
...complicated enough, Europe woke up last week to find a brand-new baby on its doorstep: the tiny republic of Montenegro, tucked between Albania and Croatia on the eastern Adriatic coast. By a slight majority, Montenegrins voted to break away from Serbia, driving the last nail in the coffin of what was once called Yugoslavia. It was a great victory for the leading advocate of independence, Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, whose supporters were out on the streets of Podgorica, Cetinje and Budva celebrating, dressed in the bright red of their newly minted nation and waving flags, before the votes were...
...Green. Calvert and Cohen, with 23 and 19 goals, respectively, lead the Crimson in scoring. The duo combined for four of the six goals scored against Hofstra.

...wearing some clothes. Instead of popping into a Dinosaurs lecture where they could see all these idiots looking terrible for free, they decided to pay to see them looking slightly better and grinding with each other in some sort of massive orgy of chachery. The real nail in the coffin (if only it were a real coffin!) is that by coinciding with pre-frosh weekend, Eleganza inculcates the next generation with the notion that people will like them if they dress like they’re going clubbing in Berlin. Truth be told, we’ve never even bothered...
