...Tribune headlines ("At Last!" and "It's Here!") belie a state of unbridled enthusiasm tinged by a sense of relief that the magic moment has finally arrived. Olympic volunteers clustering around the press venues are very nearly hysterical with good-natured excitement. As the tow-headed teenager behind the counter of a downtown coffeehouse put it as he handed over a tray of coffees, "Dude, I'm so totally stoked this is actually happening! Dude...
Contrary to popular opinion, the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy did not result from the scheming of discriminatory military brass, and certainly did not intend to stymie Harvard cadets from seeking an education.

Take warlord Mohammed Younis, for example. "He was saying he was chief of this district, he was saying this district is mine. He wanted to take it by force," says Uruzgan shura chairman Haji Sofi Mohammed Halim. Days before the U.S. attack, Younis had lost out in acrimonious local power struggle. But it may have been his possible links to very senior Taliban leaders that help explain the events at Uruzgan...
