...Mather resident allegedly found with 16 bags of psilocybin mushrooms. Last year, three of the four students allegedly caught smoking marijuana in a DeWolfe dorm room were slapped with the two-year charge. And later that same year, after a student admittedly struck police officers while under the influence of LSD, his roommate had the charge added to his rap sheet after police said they found 38 “hits” of the drug in his room...

After a Navy submarine struck the Japanese fishing boat Ehime Maru in 2001, killing nine aboard the vessel, Bush dispatched the admiral to Tokyo to deliver the U.S. apology to the government and an angry Japanese public. As Vice Chief of Naval Operations in 2002-2003 he impressed Rumsfeld, who was notorious for bullying his flag officers. When Fallon had to fill in for his boss at service chiefs meetings with Rumsfeld, he took...
