They disclosed that before a flight, some reconnaissance crewmen gather golf ball-size rocks, which they occasionally drop on rebels when they spot them.

For less than $400, Denning promises that ashes of the departed will be taken out to sea on an elegant yacht, then scattered across the Pacific under flags at half-mast while a crewman reads appropriate poetry like Tennyson's Crossing...

In the end the British captured 156 Argentine soldiers and sailors and 38 Argentine civilians in the operation. Only one man was wounded, a Santa Fe crewman whose leg was later amputated by a British navy surgeon. (Another Argentine was later reported to have died "in a serious incident." The British gave no further details but announced an investigation.) The British promised to return their Argentine prisoners to the mainland. In a gesture of civility uncommon in modern warfare...
