...There was no shortage of material if Burns had chosen to include Latino subjects: A quick glance at the University of Texas web site U.S. Latinos and Latinas and World War II reveals the stories of numerous veterans, from farm-worker families in South Texas to famed members of the so-called Aztec Eagles, the 300-member Escuadron 201. The Eagles were an all-Mexican expeditionary force, organized after Mexico declared war on the Axis powers, which trained in the U.S. and then flew combat missions in the Philippines. Only five members of the squadron are still alive...
...just didn’t want the longball to beat us there.”After a sluggish start in the first game, Harvard jumped on Staehley early. Back-to-back RBI doubles from senior Andrew Casey and freshman Dan Zailskas in the second gave the Crimson a quick lead, and unearned runs in the fourth and six frames made it comfortable for Haviland.

The train begins moving on wheels; the levitation doesn't kick in until the cars reach 81 mph. After a bump and release, as you would feel aboard a plane leaving the runway, it's pure, even, rapid acceleration to 310 mph. The only clue to the sheer speed is the tunnel lights outside: Standing 40 feet apart, they seem to stretch and blend until they appear as a single white stripe...
