...North Koreans moved Jenkins to a one-room house that was home to three other U.S. Army deserters: Private First Class James Joseph Dresnok, Private Larry Allan Abshier and Corporal Jerry Wayne Parrish. Life in that initial period, Jenkins says, was an unrelenting hell of hunger, cold and abuse, both physical and psychological. There were no beds or running water; electricity and heat were unreliable. The men were assigned a "leader" who watched their every move, listened to their conversations and constantly threatened them. They were forced to study propaganda 10 hours a day, six days a week, and memorize...
...where hunger, cold, and physical and psychological abuse were constant companions. For the first seven years, he shared a one-room house with no running water and unreliable electricity with three other U.S. Army deserters-Private First Class James Joseph Dresnok, Private Larry Allan Abshier and Corporal Jerry Wayne Parrish. They were all forced to study North Korean propaganda for 10 hours a day. (Jenkins says Parrish and Abshier died in 1996 and 1983, respectively, and that Dresnok is still living in North Korea.

Jack Parrish, the senior NOAA scientist in charge, thinks some of these may be half-digested remnants of an earlier eyewall around which Ivan has regrouped. Big hurricanes sometimes form concentric eyewalls, he says, and that makes flying through them all the more unnerving...
...long last a loud whoosh announces the fall of the last dropwindsonde. Over the radio, Parrish's voice signals the end of the mission. By now, even Parrish is getting weary of the nine-hour flights that have been taking off daily for eight days running, ever since Ivan blew up into a hurricane, not far from St. Croix. Attacked by fierce winds and savage rains, NOAA's fleet of hurricane hunters (two WP-3Ds and a Gulfstream IV) is showing signs of stress as well. The protective coating on the stabilizer of the plane I'm riding...
Junior Jonathan Chu also lost in the first round of singles, falling 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 to Florida’s Hamid Mirzadeh despite playing “really strong tennis at times,” according to Parrish...
