...Teammate Samantha Peszek, who turned her ankle in the warmup just before the team competition began, had less time to process her injury and how it would impact her Olympic experience.

...Meet or Not to Meet Re Samantha Power's "Talking to Evil": It is one thing to sit down with other superpowers like China and Russia to help maintain the precarious balance of peace in the world [June 23]. It is quite another to sit down with those whose only goal is to destroy democracy across the globe and replace it with Islamic fundamentalism. Iran and Syria are not superpowers. Talking with them will only aid in giving our Muslim terrorist enemies the recognition and credibility they so desperately want. Jack Treese, SIMI VALLEY, CALIF...
