...Veterans, particularly those who voluntarily joined the military, are the least likely opponents of any military policy they have been a part of. Troops who have seen combat have a strong psychological incentive to support the policy that sent them to war. Nobody wants to believe that they risked death and, in some cases, killed for an unjustified cause. The Iraq war veterans who have spoken out against Bush deserve credit for doing something that is incredibly difficult. But even if every veteran supported the Iraq war, that would not be compelling evidence of its merit. We cannot rely only...
...bipartisan credentials have long been burnished by her relationship with Keith Sebelius, a veteran Kansas Republican Congressman; she is married to his son Gary, a federal magistrate judge. Her father John Gilligan was Governor of Ohio in the 1970s, making the pair the first ever father-daughter combination of Governors.

India in particular is a high priority for Zander, who has made that country his personal project. His partner on the India team is Warrior, a 21-year veteran of Motorola who was born and educated in India. (Zander tried twice to recruit her to Sun when he was chief operating officer there, and a running joke at Motorola is that he took the CEO job just to work with her.) Instead of flooding India with cheap products, Warrior says, the company is introducing pared-down phones that share a design language with more expensive ones. They use the same...
...taken some time for what was expected to be the most experienced duo of cornerbacks in the Ivy League to take the field at once. But this weekend, the Harvard football team will finally get a glimpse of the veteran foundation of its defensive secondary.Senior cornerback Gary Sonkur will likely see his first substantive action of the season on Saturday against Penn. He dressed last week against Columbia for the first time this year. Entering the fall season, observers predicted that Sonkur and fellow senior corner Keith Howell would create the best cornerback tandem in the league. But Sonkur battled...
