Ah, Charlie, the article is saying it was an obscure part of American history in the past, not now. Might want to read before you tell us what to read....
Charlie Wilson commented on Taliban blowback: Fiction tackles reality in debut novel
This isn't an obscure part of America history at all. There's a movie (Charlie Wilson's War) and countless book on the topic. Don't read fiction, read Manhunt by Peter Bergen or for a real example of heroism read Roberts Ridge by Malcolm MacPherson.

Kosmo commented on Closing chapter: VQR's Genoways resigns, Waldo celebrates
@Mary - It's a bit extreme to be so irritated by Dave McNair's reporting that you hope he leaves town. If it's that upsetting to you just don't read it. I found the Hook's reporting on the VQR story to be extremely warranted as there was no other outlet in Charlottesville that chose to follow the...
Waldo Jaquith commented on Closing chapter: VQR's Genoways resigns, Waldo celebrates
Is it because of his personal, close connection with the Jacquith family?
You completely made that up. To my knowledge, I've only met Dave McNair twice, ever (one of those times in passing, on the Downtown Mall). Nobody who is related to me has ever uttered his name in my presence and, as best as I...
