Caples said that she was as vocal as she ever had been at halftime...
...have neighbors in Livingston, Mont., who have geared up for every potential Armageddon since the Cuban missile crisis. From the cold war to the Gulf War to Y2K (how quaint it seems now, that odd abbreviation), a certain vocal minority hereabouts has been hoarding ammunition, boiling water and stockpiling gold coins in hopes of riding out some vast calamity that will devastate the unprepared while leaving savvy country folk untouched.

As Pakistan aids the U.S. in the coming weeks, its vocal hard-line minority?already urging a jihad against the U.S. and openly warning of civil war?will surely try to drown out the moderate majority. In doing so, it threatens to upset the delicate balance of the nation, and that of families like Attiya and Aslam...
