...Americans wondered what "national interest" they had in a war that many thought we should let the Europeans take care of themselves, William Allen White wrote, "Whoever is fighting for liberty is defending America." These words are now inscribed on the wall of a corridor in the U.S. Capitol. Yet, for too much of two administrations, the U.S. has stood by as its defenders were slaughtered in the streets of Sarajevo.

Ironically, outside of one of the small, windowless editing rooms, a sign is posted which reads, "Students should not live...
...radical wing of the antiabortion movement, spoke against the attack and later confronted Hill. "For the cause of Christ, for the sake of the children and the sake of your own family, cease and desist from spewing this misrepresentation of the Scripture," Benham recalls telling Hill in a corridor. Hill refused, but he promised others that he would never pull the trigger...
