...that one of his pet ideas--expanding the national volunteer program known as AmeriCorps--was going to be appropriated by the President. In his address Bush would challenge each American to donate 4,000 hours of community service and would announce a new agency called U.S.A. Freedom Corps to marshal the effort. Freedom Corps builds on existing volunteer programs and creates new ones: the Citizen Corps, a kind of national Neighborhood Watch; and the Medical Reserve Corps, an army of first responders for terror attacks and other national emergencies...
Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2002 Stalin saw Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevski as the potential leader of a military coup. What's more, Tukhachevski publicly accused Stalin of losing the Polish campaign of 1920.

And how about the air marshals we keep hearing so much about? Again, we're asked to be patient: the presence of an air marshal on every flight, as per Congressional action, won't happen for months, perhaps even a year. In the meantime, we're assured, there are marshals sprinkled on both long- and short...
...Black Hawk Down Ridley Scott's harrowing replay of a 1993 Somalian debacle for U.S. troops is pure cinema in action. In nearly two hours of relentless warfare (think of Saving Private Ryan without the slow bits), it shows how a director can marshal images and sounds, biography and geography, to create emotion pictures. With Gladiator, Hannibal and now this ultimate war movie, Ridley's on a roll...
