...time I’d signed away my summer I was already playing the fond memories in my head: IceScapes would be all fun, friendship, and frozen treats.Unfortunately, what were originally sources of excitement soon turned sour. I learned that there were no qualifications because I was relegated to manual labor: whether I was churning the italian ice every fifteen minutes, tackling a never-ending pile of dishes, or furiously scrubbing all manner of surfaces, I was always occupied by a paranoid and micromanaging Ron, who seemed to be perennially watching me for the slightest mistake.

The Paralympics offers the hope that watching disabled athletes compete will...

U.S. troops there are "still in the 'clear' phase of 'clear, hold, build' counterinsurgency strategy," said Nagl, a West Point graduate and author of Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife: Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam who recently helped Petraeus rewrite the Army/Marine Corps' Counterinsurgency Field Manual. "There's still a fight going on up north, and we're going to have a fight there for awhile...
