...interviews with a variety of Abu Ghraib personnel, "Pappas was so affected by this sudden horror [the mortar attack] that he never again took off his flak jacket. . . It was reported to me that he always wore his [flak] jacket and hard helmet, even when showering." Several Abu Ghraib veterans also told TIME that Pappas tried to avoid going outside the prison building, and even moved an exercise bicycle into his quarters to avoid having to move around unprotected areas. But another veteran of the prison, Major David Dinenna, said he did not believe Pappas was impaired, though quite...

"Falwell was always very respectful and low-key and humble and soft-spoken in these meetings," says one veteran of the first Bush White House. Unlike some others, he didn't walk in and hand over a "to do" list; Having been given perhaps more credit than he deserved for helping deliver Reagan into office, he was not one to break publicly with the popular President once he was there...
