...Seoul, are hazy and conflicting. But taken together, they paint a picture of panic, fear, vague military orders and, finally, individual G.I.s struggling with the dictates of conscience. The Koreans under the bridge were part of a wave fleeing the North Korean army as it plunged southward in a month-old invasion of the South. North Korean infiltrators in civilian garb had been slipping through U.S. lines, guiding in artillery strikes and sniping at the retreating Americans.

The solution was a CD-R disc, which can hold up to 74 minutes of audio and worked just fine on my portable player, my PC and my Mac. You'll have to go to the Net to find conversion software that allows you to burn MP3s onto CDs and play them in your Discman, however. None was included. Why? Why? Why? I never got a good answer...
When Beth Steele's 18-month-old daughter Megan got expelled from day care for ignoring teachers and fighting with other kids, Steele knew it was time to see a professional. But while Megan soon got help from a child psychiatrist, Steele, a single mom and owner of a dog-grooming business in Houston, found the therapists she saw to deal with her own stress either insincere or judgmental. When a friend suggested online therapy, Steele decided to give it a try. Now, each Tuesday night, she logs on to the website concernedcounseling.com for a 50-min. session...
