WASHINGTON — The old men, soldiers once upon an awful time, stood as proud as age would allow.

They were former machine gunners, such as Frank Kageta. He's now 91. They were former intelligence agents, such as George Yoji Kiyomoto, who's 90, and James Iso, chipper at 87.
They were, and are, nisei, second-generation Japanese-Americans who in World War II fought tenaciously for the very country that had interned them and their family members.

"We had a duty to prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, our patriotism," Iso said.
Point proved.

Solo projects and bands formed from the remains of once popular acts often face a troubling dilemma. Does the new project keep the sound that got the act famous to begin with? or do they deviate and risk alienating old fans in favor of newer listeners. Former Distillers frontwoman Brody Dalle’s new project, Spinnerette, hits that long-sought-after perfect balance with their self-titled debut.

From Wikipedia:
Winston Churchill (November 10, 1871 - March 12, 1947) was an American novelist.

Churchill was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Edward Spalding and Emma Bell (Blaine) Churchill. He attended Smith Academy in Missouri and the United States Naval Academy, where he graduated in 1894. At the Naval Academy, he was conspicuous alike in scholarship and in general student activities. He became an expert fencer and he organized at Annapolis the first eight-oared crew, of which he was for two years captain. After his graduation, he became an editor of the Army and Navy Journal. He resigned from the navy to pursue a writing career. In 1895, he became managing editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, but in less than a year he retired that he might have more time for writing. While he would be most successful as a novelist, he was also a published poet and essayist.
