Tracy's spunk and terp-ability appeal to Collins (Clarke Thorell), who has the radical notion that "It's time we put kids on the show who look like the kids who watch the show."

Moreover, the petition bluntly ignores the fact that divestment would bring further misery to the Palestinian people, given the strong dependency between their economy and Israel’s. Besides being thus shortsighted, the petition presumptuously claims that its signers...
...senior brass from the International Security Assistance Force that protects Kabul are frequent visitors to his busy headquarters. It suggests a level influence likely to cause jealousy in the internecine world of Afghan military affairs.
