...these things -- and more -- are wrong and should be set right. But in a world of limits, some rights are more sacred than others, some wrongs more deserving of punishment.

Gently, he arranges the family's bags so that his wife Victoria and their son Maxim, 2, can nap on them. "But I want no constraints on how I bring up my children. If I move...

Under pressure from security-conscious Army officials, the Federal Government exiled more than 100,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans from their homes on the West Coast to internment camps in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Despite this humiliation, 30,000 Japanese Americans served in uniform, and the all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Battalion became the most decorated units in U.S. military history...
