...proper coverage of war’s realities. We acknowledge, however, the necessity of controls on photographs of dead or wounded U.S. troops. Such photography threatens anonymity considerations and could also cause intelligence breaches that would bring more harm to American soldiers.

They couldn’t attend classes with Harvard students until 1943. They couldn’t study regularly in Lamont until 1967.

In the towering period that spanned The Joshua Tree to Zooropa, U2 made stadium-size art rock with huge melodies that allowed Bono to throw his arms around the world while bending its ear about social justice...
...think of 25 reasons for the economic mess we are in, but none of them relate to specific people. The culture into which we have evolved includes no moral compass and is based on greed; instant gratification; selfish disregard for others, present and future; an expectation that the government will handle all our needs--you get the idea. We can all take blame. Joe Gordon, DALLAS...
