The eyes of Hans Wendt have seen much during his long career as a photographer. But nothing could prepare him for September 25, 1978. He was taking pictures for the county on University and Boundary. “We heard this explosion and this crash in the air and looked up. I saw the PSA airliner first. I never saw the little Cessna. I got two shots of the PSA airliner crashing,” said Wendt in...

Al Qaeda has traditionally issued a video or audiotape by either Osama bin Laden or Ayman al Zawahiri, the terror network’s two leaders, to mark their massive terrorist attack on the US. As-Sahab, Al Qaeda’s media unit, had indicated earlier this week that it would post such a videotape on September 11. As-Sahab had banner images on the internet showing a silhouetted head with a question mark and the words, “Wait 11 September”.

The days of the presence of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea are a history of blood and shocking crimes. Ever since they set foot in south Korea, the U.S. imperialists have inflicted all manner of immeasurable misfortunes and disasters upon the people there and killed innocent people at random. They brutally put down the struggle of the people in different parts of south Korea against the U.S. "military government" in October 1946 by setting in motion planes, tanks...

We have been living with this horror ever since. Democrats once embraced patriotism. Scoop Jackson, a true liberal on domestic issues, was as passionate a supporter of America against our enemies as any other politician in America. JFK, in his 1960 campaigned against Nixon in 1960, argued that the Eisenhower Administration had neglected national defense and he promised to defend freedom anywhere.

The devastation wrought at Hiroshima was not sufficient to convince the Japanese War Council to accept the Potsdam Conference's demand for unconditional surrender. The United States had already planned to drop their second atom bomb, nicknamed "Fat Man," on August 11 in the event of such recalcitrance, but bad weather expected for that day pushed the date up to August 9th.
