...Several in the class have incorporated the graveyard into their artworks. Kotch Voraakhon, a GSD student, uses the headstones to create rubbings, or places inverted versions of the text printed into clay on the graves themselves.

Marotta built a Plexiglass box, five feet tall and one foot wide, with a pyramidal top. He brought it to the cemetery over the weekend, during a snowstorm (flakes obscure the structure in many...

...World of Help Tim McGirk's story "Moscow's Graveyard," on how the Soviet Union's defeat in Afghanistan led to the global rise of Islamic militancy [Aug. 15-22], gave too much credit to the Afghan people in the struggle to liberate their country. The rest of the world helped: Americans, Saudis and Pakistanis all made outstanding contributions. Practically the whole world was against the Soviets. That's why they lost.
