Though just a week old, Mike says the blog has already drawn more than 800,000 hits, in large part because a friend of his plugged it on his radio show at 94HJY in Providence, R.I. Since then, photos have been flooding in "like crazy," though, perhaps thankfully, not all of them have made the cut. "We got a submission of a photo of a mother giving a water birth. She thought it was awkward. We thought it was disturbing...

...Feeling apart, alien, inferior, Terry was drawn to "Jimmy Preston, who was a real boy, and whom I envied; Jimmy Preston, who once put his hand on my shoulder, and I didn't want him to remove it."

...says Army Spokesman Harvey Perritt, the NATO rapid reaction force coupled with humanitarian assistance was able to decrease the violence along the border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The Korean problem, however, remained largely unresolved. "With the Korean Peninsula," says Perritt, "the problem is bigger than just military." The conclusions drawn from the exercise, he said, were more "informational and cultural." The response to a North Korean attack, he says, would have to require diplomatic, humanitarian and other solutions, including the involvment of many other allies. That does not bode well for the world beyond the games, where Pyongyang remains...
