...Dawn in Fallujah, and the men of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines' Easy Company, part of the 1st U.S. Marine Expeditionary Force, are withdrawing under fire. At 4:30 that morning, 150 Marines had moved into the southern edge of the city to destroy two bunkers that insurgents were using to fire on their positions. Easy's Third Platoon moved in to inspect one of the buildings, which had been hit the day before by a 500-lb. bomb. Platoon Commander 2nd Lieut. Ilario Pantano reported back that they had found gun emplacements and binoculars and that the building...
...Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun became the first play by a black woman--amazing to think now--ever to open on Broadway.

Greece shrugged, but the rest of the world shuddered. The three bombs that went off just before dawn in the Athens district of Kallithea last Wednesday gutted one side of a police station, shattered windows up and down a leafy suburban street and jarred residents from their predawn slumber - but they did not faze Maria Moirani. The Athenian housewife calmly dropped off her 8-year-old son at a nearby school that same morning. "I could have made more elaborate bombs than these guys," she scoffed. Athens sees scores of such attacks a year; Mary Bossi, a terrorism expert...
...weeknight, and there were very few cars parked for the double feature of Dawn of the Dead and Club Dread. We arrived early and staked out a spot near the center. We listened to Simon and Garfunkel on my car stereo—I had no 50s music, but they’re close enough—while we ate packaged sushi from the supermarket for dinner. One of the most curious benefits of the drive-in experience is that the range of concessions one can legally smuggle in is virtually limitless. As the cars filtered in, I learned...
