Great picture selection, Matt! What an excellent way to kick off summer. Today's Washington Post has a story and slideshow about this year's climb. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/teamwork-discipline-help-plebes-get-to-the-top/2012/05/22/gIQASDZRjU_gallery.html?hpid=z4#photo=1 I hope the Naval Academy inspires every college in the world to stage similar events.

“But A&F might open a store there…” The A&F Savile Row store opened months ago. There's enough room in the world for both fine British tailoring and cute shirtless twinks. Some of us are fond of both.

When I started to look at this post, I was prepared to giggle at the changes in hair and clothing styles, but there's a certain sweetness to these pictures. Nicely done! This was really touching.

How could you possibly overlook the Saved by the Bell episode when Jessie overdoses on caffeine? I can never watch it w/o breaking into big salty tears.

You emphasized the wrong part of the citation. Should read: “While the term propaganda has acquired a strongly negative connotation by association with its most manipulative and jingoistic examples, propaganda in its original sense was neutral, and could refer to uses that were generally benign or innocuous…” via Wikipedia
