Correspondence And Universities Also Lead Learners To Democracy, Or Did I Miss Something?
I hope someone can help this woman get books to Iraq. The story underscores the hidden costs of war and insurgency.

It's too much like the old forked tongue analogy.

We've been enjoying the sight of these little beauties for several days. At times there have been batches of a dozen or more winging their way through the neighborhood.
