...airport the next morning to catch the 6:25 a.m. flight to the Bay.Before my return to the airport the next morning, I encountered: 1) A stranded freshman who had missed her own San Francisco flight, and accompanied me back and forth to campus; 2) The same sad and dejected Colorado friend who had missed her flight (and had a harrowing journey of her own); and 3) An eerily deserted Dunster dining hall, in which I proceeded to prance around with another friend who had stayed at school for an extra day.I thought those would be the most exciting parts...
...sad fact of military aviation that helicopters flying in combat are accidents waiting to happen. Unlike their fixed-wing brethren, helicopters tend to be slow, which on the battlefield is another word for vulnerable. Beyond that, they tend to fly low, hugging the contours of the terrain in what pilots called nap-of-the-earth flight (that's what upsets unpracticed bellies). The tactic certainly reduces the helicopter's exposure to enemy fire from below, but it doesn't eliminate it. Helicopter pilots speak warily of "golden BBs" that can bring down their bird. There are a fair number...
...Operation Reboot Re "The battle for control of the war" [Jan. 29]: How sad that President George W. Bush's strategy in Iraq is so clearly political rather than military. The surge in troops presents the appearance of action while gambling American and Iraqi lives on the outcome. If stability in Iraq is restored, even short-term, Bush can denounce his naysayers.

Damon Lindelof, a co-creator of Lost, says it was Fox's unexpected tears in his audition for that show that scored him a role. "Matthew has elevated crying to an art, where somehow it's a form of badassness. He never cries because he's sad. He cries because he wants to hit someone," Lindelof says. "I can't think of any other hero characters who have cried. If Patrick Dempsey cried on Grey's Anatomy, people would be like, 'Meredith, do not waste your time with that crybaby.'" When he's not crying, Fox is stone cold, silently...
