James Eudy hasn’t seen Saving Private Ryan, nor does he plan to.
“I don’t need to see someone else’s interpretation of combat,” said the 85-year-old World War II veteran. “I’ve seen enough of that.”

'Old Town' at center of Edinburgh's celebration of city's culture
How can you not love a city that dedicates a museum to writers and builds a monument to a dog? I didn’t travel to Edinburgh because of the Writer’s Museum or the statue of Greyfriars Bobby, but these two “discoveries,” I learned, were completely in keeping with the character of a city that celebrates its culture and cultivates a sense of the sublime.
Rome endures, entices: Walk through history in Italy's Eternal City
You know you’re in the middle of a memorable vacation when your afternoon includes an accidental audience with the Pope.
St. Andrews: Many have fallen in love with 'cradle of golf'
From private club members with thousand-dollar drivers and personal caddies to bargain-bin hackers who sneak onto public courses with hand-me-down clubs, the game’s aficionados defy any stereotype save a passion that to outsiders appears akin to an obsession.
But from the most austere clubhouse to the shabbiest publinks parking lot, there are two words that are guaranteed to put a lump in the throat of any serious golfer: St. Andrews.

Jeffrey Hallauer spent two and a half days without reaching the top of the 2005 Army Europe Golf Championship leaderboard. But he got there when it counted, and now he gets to stay there for another whole year.

Back on top: PHS soccer squad reclaims DoDDS Division II title
During a conversation with members of Patch High School’s championship girls’ soccer team, one wouldn’t be all that surprised if violin music began wafting in from a nearby rooftop. Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock most likely didn’t have high school soccer in mind 40 years ago when they wrote the score for the award-winning “Fiddler on the Roof,” but their hit song “Tradition” could serve as the soundtrack for the Panthers’ 2005 highlight reel.

Golf great's most lasting legacy: the grace with which he lost
Over the course of Jack Nicklaus’s 44-year professional career - and especially in the run-up to his July 14 retirement - hundreds of writers scribbled thousands of words in an attempt to capture the essence of what made “The Golden Bear” one of the all-time greats. I think I can do it in two: loser and quitter.
Life lessons from a four-legged philosopher
My dog, Guinness, reminds me that not only do we need to stop and smell the flowers, we occasionally need to lick the good ones, eat a few of the great ones, and drop down and roll around in the truly outstanding ones. He reminds me that long walks do more for the soul than they do for the heart and lungs, that no day is a bad day if it contains at least two meals and one nap, and that you can never go wrong by showing your love.
