...greeted with their recent athletic conquests upon a first introduction, I find myself always on high alert, pretending not to recognize those who are secretly my game-day best friends.A quick personal anecdote to illustrate this danger can be seen in my interactions only a few weekends ago. Through mutual contacts, I found myself in the room of a blocking group of teammates from one of the sports for which I cheer. I made my way around the little shindig, becoming “introduced” to each of the inhabitants, one of whom I recognized instantly...
...square-mile site was originally used as a coaling station for U.S. Navy ships, under a lease drawn up in 1903. U.S. possession of Guantánamo was reaffirmed under former Cuban president Batista in 1934 with a provision that the lease could not be terminated without mutual consent - a provision that was challenged to no avail by Fidel Castro following the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

The U.S. military transferred control of the SOIs to the central government in October. The government has been slow to fulfill its pledge to incorporate 20% of Baghdad's 54,000 SOIs into the armed forces, further frustrating anti-insurgent leaders who want more of their men given security jobs. At the same time, domestic politicking is set to intensify ahead of provincial polls slated...
