Reinhard Hardegen, Who Led U-Boats to America’s Shore, Dies at 105

“We were the first to be here, and for the first time in this war a German soldier looked upon the coast of the U.S.A.”

"As Captain Hardegen told it, he responded to Hitler’s accolades by scolding him for failing to develop a wartime naval air arm, leaving Hitler red-faced with anger. Afterward, a mortified General Alfred Jodl, who was at that gathering, sharply reprimanded Captain Hardegen for “impertinence.” He retorted: “Herr General, the Führer has the right to hear the truth, and I have the duty to speak it.”"

“There was a report that the mood inside the venue had been changing,” Angelo J. Onofri, the Mercer County prosecutor, said at a news conference on Sunday.""

Dancing Tango With Trump Voters

When you dance, you take a stranger in your arms. There’s a lesson there for America.

The current political situation viewed by Trump supporters as a "zero sum game".
Every compromise is an absolute loss. 
There is no dance.
The contest is to the death.

The golfer insisted he hadn’t acted in haste or irritation at the U.S. Open when he chased a moving ball and swatted it back toward the cup. Actually, he said, it was an astute use of the rules.

Phil Mickelson was not thinking.

All after the act statements are spin.
