The story of the search for the men known to American spies and
soldiers as high-value targets one and two (HVT 1 and HVT 2)—Osama bin

frustrating, at times agonizing, tale of missed opportunities,
damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't choices, and outright blunders.

Our economic problems may appear unrelated, but they all have something in common.

contemporary crises.

Many people have looked at the
depredations of the Bush era--the bizarre cult of personality, the
anti-intellectual demagoguery, the incessant flouting of norms, the

cult-like fringe taking control of a political party and using it to
wage class warfare on behalf of a tiny minority.

families, especially since most have not yet recovered from the last
one.
