(A view across the Potomac River. Like the Yalu, it conceals all sorts of stuff on the other side of the water). It is difficult to look across a river and divine the truth. That is what the words say in what appears to be a fragment of a document written in a year long […]
(Rufus, Vic and Frags in person at Army-Navy Country Club in Arlington). A remarkable aggregation of the Old Salts gathered yesterday up in Arlington. It is a traditional meeting of a venerable veteran’s organization: The Naval Intelligence Professionals. It is a remarkable group of people, who celebrate service in the oldest member of the American […]

She hung by the elevator bank on the 4th Floor as “Sky Girl,” and helped us focus on the SARS-1 epidemic twenty years ago. The one where Dr. Tony Fauci told us that […]
