Before the war, US interrogators were desperately in need to question Curveball since they got intelligence that Curveball was making weapons of mass destructions.

German intelligence officer claimed Curveball was mentally ill so there was no need to see him. On my opinion, the people to blame for this Curveball debacle would be the German intelligence officer who could not allow an interrogation session with Curveball.

The mix of formats for the future IndyCar races should use oval tracks races as this form is centrally more popular among the fans within the United States.

A child could be great at performing and acting in plays, but they will never know because they were pushed into athletics before they got the chance to explore all of their options.

Children have strived for years to make their parents, teachers and coaches proud of them.
