...representing military units, Vincent took the role of Russian Supreme Commander in 1945. Chris was his American equivalent. The object was to bash away at Nazi forces-and then grab as much territory as they could. "It's an intellectual thing," explained Chris, a high school junior from Morristown, N.Y. "I've always had an interest in military history." He supports his interest, immoderately, with more than 100 similar board games; spends an average of 30 hours a month playing with them; and hopes to go to West Point after graduating from high school...
Only my friend's mother was cheerful at dinner that night. She showed us pictures of St. Thomas, and encouraged us to sleep late the next morning. But instead we repacked and tried Morristown Airport and Caldwell Airport and, it seemed, every other airfield in New Jersey. We never found the tanned young man. We had bad luck: the wrong weather, the wrong days of the week, the wrong time of year.

In some perplexity, Wittig demands, "How come, if the church proclaims we are all God's children, I am considered less?" Among the others ordained, one is a part-time prison minister in Rochester; two are professors...
...midst of its new notoriety, New Jersey's Morris County Courthouse remains a quiet, old-fashioned sort of place. George Washington wintered his troops in Morristown in 1777, and handsome 19th century houses still stand near the village green. The courthouse is a three-story Georgian building shaded by yellowing oaks, and the pew-like benches in Courtroom No. 1 have room for only about 110 spectators, with space for another 30 in the white-paneled balcony. The seats are packed every day, mostly with reporters from as far away as Tokyo and London; there are a few students...
