Walking towards what is considered a second home hours before the championship game even begins yields nothing but complete silence. The freshly- cut‚ green grass in the outfield glistens from its daily dosage of morning dew. A bare‚ dirt-covered infield yearns to be lined with fresh‚ white chalk.

As a result‚ we may be killing innocent citizens‚ or Viet Cong members. Four days ago I was walking cautiously in the jungle. This is because the Viet Cong set

The central powers of Europe fought to obtain power‚ though in the end‚ their efforts were fruitless‚ and though much was lost‚ not much was gained.
