When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in Iraq in 2003, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing.

Tea with a hedgehog and supper with a rabbit?

Beatrix was so well acquainted with the characters of her various animal friends that when she was older it seemed natural to write and illustrate small books about their delightful adventures.

As a small boy, Charles Dickens worked in a dark, musty London warehouse, pasting labels onto pots of boot polish. He tried not to listen to his grumbling stomach or the rats squeaking on the stairs. His dream was to escape that misery one day and become a fine, educated gentleman. Through his gift for writing, that day did come for Dickens. But he never forgot what it was like to be poor. He wrote stories about London's lower classes—tales that made people laugh, cry, and work to improve their social conditions.

My name is David Collins. I am a Radio DJ and Broadcaster from Manhattan, Kansas. I've been doing Radio since I was 18. First starting in college (shout out KSDB), I quickly realized this was something I was pretty good at. Since then, I've worked with a variety of radio stations, finally landing at K-Rock 101.5. There, I was able to meet and speak with many famous and/or interesting people. Although it was a great opportunity, at the time, fortunately for me, times change. I've been cut loose from the chains of day-time Radio, and have a new show. David Collins 30 Minute Half Hour Show is a ...

One American seldom receives the attention he rightly deserves. Noah Webster, Jr., does not often come immediately to mind when one considers those who helped the United States during its infancy. He should. His services were many and unique in the earliest stages of America. Even as a boy, Noah was fascinated with language and education. He was troubled by the lack of interest shown by others in formal schooling, and the lack of books and proper facilities bothered him even more. When the fires of the Revolution broke out in the early 1770s, Noah was a student at Yale.
