Neither do I. I liked the old, cold Martha--liked that she took her cartoonishly perfectionist self seriously and expected us to do so too. There's something sad about her trying to prove her softness, in a way that men on the comeback trail don't (and something sadder about a 64-year-old woman using Am I the Same Girl? as her theme song). If even Martha can't escape this tender trap, the need to convince us of her sweetness and girliness, what woman...

In Tall 'Afar, the U.S. and Iraqi troops awake on the morning of Sept. 6 to the sound of messages being broadcast over loudspeakers instructing civilians to leave. At mid-morning, families begin to emerge across Route Barracuda waving sad little white flags. As a family shuffles past, a Green Beret weapons sergeant bellows for them to be stopped. "Who's that red-headed guy?" he asks. The men are sifted out, five identified as suspicious. Flashes of defiance and anger raise suspicions. "Hey, flex-cuff 'em," orders a Green...
