...there comes a point when Greg's death begins making too much sense, when her grief loses its novelty and becomes scarily routine. This happened when her toddler Nicholas stopped reflexively asking for his father and started hugging people other than her. At first Nicole thought this was a sign he was adjusting, but then the worry set in. Would Nicholas' two-year-old mind begin to lose scant recollections of his father? "So now I just keep saying to him, 'Remember when Daddy used to do this or that,'" she says. And when they talk about Greg, Nicholas...
American espionage was a clumsy toddler at first. (Some think it has not improved much with age and astronomical budgets.) F.D.R., magician and dissembler, improvised spy systems formal and informal.

He enjoyed playing with American soldiers, including my father, and eagerly showed off the pet chickens he constantly chased around the yard. Whenever he stood with my mother in the mile-long lines for rice rations, women cooed about how cute he was, about how he would be Saigon’s next...
...Galina Kukharskiy, and two young cousins, Tatyana, 9, and Dimitriy, 10. He apparently took money from that house. But he was not done. He drove his 1995 Nissan Altima to his mother's house to pick up his three-year-old son Sergay. Late on Tuesday, police found the toddler's body in a cardboard box. They said the boy may have been lured into the box with toys. The child's body was bruised on the back and the buttocks, and authorities initially said Sergay had been "violated." His throat was violently slashed. Soltys left behind a list, apparently...
