On Chartres Street in New Orleans's French Quarter, you can find the best muffuletta sandwich and the best Pimm's Cup cocktail at a place called Napoleon House—so named because it was meant to be the residence of L'Empereur, just as soon as the pirates could rescue him from his exile in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Hal Moore was a remarkable Korean and Vietnam war veteran with unmatched courage and love for his fellow soldiers. Moore’s famous mantra was “Hate war, love the American soldier.” This strong dedication to his brothers in arms came through not only during his time in the military, but long after his active service came to an end. Best remembered by civilians for his retelling of the Battle of Ia Drang, Moore was and is beloved by veterans across the country.

July 20, 1787, a clear and pleasant Friday afternoon. Delegates to the Federal Convention, known now as the Constitutional Convention, are addressing a clause in the working draft of what will become the Constitution of the United States. The “National Executive,” the draft says, will be “removeable on impeachment and conviction of malpractices or neglect of duty.” Gouverneur Morris of New York and Charles Pinckney of South Carolina “moved to strike out” the provision.[1] Debate is vigorous, and the consequences enormous. At stake is the critical balance of powers among three branches of a new governmental edifice, which could potentially tumble down if that balance is irrevocably disrupted.

Opinion: It is past time for anthropologists to set the record straight and acknowledge B.C.'s James Teit as a grounded scholar decades ahead of his time. For Canadians, it is time to expand their collective memory and rescue a human legacy long missing in history.
