A German bomber that crashed off the coast of the UK is raised, and the story behind it.
Two of the crew actually survived to become POW's.

the reason the Supreme court ruled against Arizona's voter law was because the federal law for motor voter voting trumped the state law.
So this is a states rights issue, not an issue about immigrants or voter fraud per se.
I am ambivalent: We voted in Minnesota because I used my driver's license, but Lolo, who no longer drove, only had a Pennsylvania ID, but I vouched for him so they let him vote. When we moved to Oklahoma, I got him a senior citizen ID at the police station...
