Leavenworth and the Command and General Staff College (often called the “intellectual center of the Army”), he called fellow West Point alum Gen. Stanley McChrystal “a very close friend of mine.” Now, the two will likely be working side-by-side in Afghanistan, thanks to a nomination by President Barack Obama….
Anastasia Hope’s words are iced with sugary defiance. Smiling sweetly behind a desk heaped with used paperbacks and hard-cover books, she doesn’t need any provocation to emphasize that she isn’t in the business of irony. Within moments of walking into her cozy shop on my journey down 63rd Street, she hits me with a preemptive strike. “Everybody thinks people in…
