...publicity in the past few days over sexual harassment allegations by the Army's top woman officer, must have been thinking things couldn't get much worse. But they did, with the deaths Saturday of 19 Marines in the crash and explosion of an experimental helicopter-airplane hybrid, the MV-22 Osprey, in Arizona. The aircraft, remaining examples of which have been grounded pending an inquiry, is manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron and Boeing and was in a final test phase before its anticipated introduction into Marine fleets. This is hardly the first time the Osprey has been...
...back and smiled, bemused at 46 down, a four-letter word for "meal for the humble?" "Well," he said, "here's one that's appropriate for today." (Answer: crow.) When the plane touched down, the crowds were waiting, eager and therapeutic, waving handmade signs that called WELCOME BACK and MV LOVES BILL. At the bottom of the steps to greet him with a bear hug when Air Force One touched down in Edgartown, Mass., was Vernon Jordan...
...last month in a futile effort to get the French to halt resumption of nuclear-test blasts in the Pacific.

Pushing a tow of six barges strapped together, the ship had taken a wrong turn on the Mobile river and strayed into the bayou.

Someone on the tugboat radioed the Coast Guard for help. By then, however, the Sunset Limited roared into sight -- and plunged straight into disaster. The bridge gave...

The liberal press may serve up a few "atrocity" stories (Mv Lai), but quarantines the facts which might connect the atrocities with . . . liberals. A step above this is Goulden's Nation article, which tells of Arana's U.S. support, but blames this on that dark power "the Pentagon." What about the Alliance for Progress, AID, the U.S. Ambassador, United Fruit, the coffee...
