On the eve of St. Patrick's Day last week, an estimated 5,000 people had gathered at Belfast's Catholic Milltown Cemetery to bury three members of the outlawed Irish Republican Army, the organization dedicated to uniting British-ruled Northern Ireland with the Irish Republic.

Not only is Hamilton a former active-duty pilot who bailed out in mid-career rather than fly a desk, he is also a computer expert. He trusts avionics software...
