...move on. The shark that bit into Martin - probably a 15- to 16-foot great white, according to a marine scientist quoted in Sunday's San Diego Union-Tribune, was probably a bit dim. The animal likely mistook Martin, who was clad in a black wetsuit, for a seal. Some here are even wondering if, in a way, the seals are actually responsible for Martin's death: in the last few years, seals have overtaken a local coastal area known as Children's Pool. San Diego County residents are in the midst of a heated debate over whether that beach...

...Show me a hero," F. Scott Fitzgerald dared us, "and I will write you a tragedy." For Navy seal Michael Monsoor, heroism and tragedy arrived together, when the grenade thrown onto the Ramadi rooftop he patrolled bounced off his chest; he could escape--and let it kill his two comrades--or throw himself on top of it and trade his life for theirs...
