@natsfert A wonderful reporter and world-class teammate!

@specialopsmag In 1987, PJ Lou Haak of the 129th was super helpful as liaison for a Modesto Bee feature I was writing. He got me aboard a helo to watch a night jump into Clear Lake ( I think) and a C-130 to watch a day jump into the Sierra Nevada mountains. What a kick!

Forget Iwo Jima. Consider Peleliu. Maj. Gen. William Rupertus told his First Marine Division men they could expect a four-day fight. He was way off, and his projected confidence intended to rally troops instead tainted his reputation.

@JessBravin Next time, don't check 'expedited processing.'

[Michael Doyle @MichaelDoyle10]

@MichaelMcGough3 I think reasonable forward-looking prognosticating adds analytical value to what otherwise would be a backward-looking 'he said/she said' summary. Just remember these phrases : "A closely divided Supreme Court..." and "Supreme Court justices sounded skeptical..."

@AndyStumpf77 Still as ambivalent as ever about what happened but am super-impressed by Andy's interview style; his humor, civility and the way he kept pressing for answers to toughquestions.

@rogerkimball Mr. Kimball: I am a reporter with E&E News/POLITICO and am preparing a story to preview Commission on Fine Arts review of the White House ballroom project. Mind if I email a few questions?

St. Peter: I don't know, man. The way you kept forgetting lyrics to Truckin'...

Bobby: It can happen to anyone.

St. Peter: Yeah, but then there's that stupid yellow dog story you kept repeating and...

The Big Guy: Let him in, for God's sake.

1915: U.S. Marines "run the country" as they start occupation of Haiti.
1934: U.S. Marines no longer "run the country" as they depart Haiti.

This is giving a whole new meaning to the term 'section hiker.'

@MichaelMcGough3 Use your GWU adjunct faculty affiliation and go through the Gelman Library's very large database collection; maybe Proquest?

Some news: McClatchy is shutting down their D.C. bureau and laying off some staffers, including a few reporters who cover Congress and the White House.

[Michael Doyle @MichaelDoyle10]

@jeremymbarr Then it sounds like us veterans of the McClatchy DC Bureau must assemble and salute what once was...
