    <p>The story of one of the most effective and brutal spymasters in U.S. history & beginning of an infamous love affair with napalm.</p><p>It was long past time for Donald Nichols to go home. He had been spying in Korea for five years, rarely taking a day off, never returning stateside to see his family. His bosses in the U.S. Air Force had not seen an agent work so hard for so long. They called him a “one man war” & the “best intelligence operator” in the Far East. He “performed the impossible,” his commanding general said. Still, air force rules were clear: He must rotate back to United States.</p>

    When New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the pro-abortion “Reproductive Health Act” into law early this year, a band of pregnancy help centers decided to respond. They’d already been in conversations about the possibility of consolidating their resources for some time. But with the sweeping change, the centers moved quickly to come together and open a brand new location in the city of Buffalo just three months later. The miracle in Rochester Under the umbrella of CompassCare, the new Buffalo pregnancy help center has made its mission to reduce the city’s abortions by 50 percent in the next five years—a...

    From GPS location services to communications, the United States' dependence on space capabilities is well documented, the vice commander of Air Force Space Command said. The command is focused now on finding ways to ensure the nation's continued access to space and to prevent adversaries from disrupting it. Chief among those efforts is recognizing threats posed by adversaries to current capabilities and finding ways to prevent them from being exploited, in particular, by hardening existing systems against threats, Air Force Lt. Gen. David D. Thompson said. "We are building in capabilities to protect and defend the space systems that we...

    House conservatives harden backing for Social Security plan By Stephen Dinan THE WASHINGTON TIMES BALTIMORE — House conservatives said yesterday they will fight for a Social Security plan that goes into effect immediately and includes larger private accounts than the president is calling for, and they will not accept an overall increase in Social Security entitlement spending. "Conservatives want to see personal retirement accounts that have immediate relevance to younger Americans, that they can see the value, and that will require that they be big and that they be implemented in the final bill without delay," said Rep. Mike Pence,...

    Time to praise a new crop of bad titles in country music Sunday, March 07, 2004 MIKE HARDEN Last week, while perusing compact discs for my annual list of the Worst Country Music Song Titles of All Time (Until the Next Time), I happened upon a LeAnn Rimes recording titled The Early Years. One can only assume that the ‘‘early years" for the 21-yearold former child phenom must mean the prenatal period. Then again, in an industry where bad-hat acts and bare navels are over the hill at 40, age 21 might be considered middle-aged. I won’t complain, however, as...
