JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska (AP) — The solemn task of sifting through rocks, twigs and ice to find human remains as small as a fingernail continued this month on a glacier north of Anchorage, nearly 69 years after all 52 members of a military transport flight were killed when the plane slammed into a mountain. Wreckage from the plane was spotted by the Alaska National Guard in 2012 during a training mission, setting up annual trips by military officials to recover remains of the crew and passengers of the C-124 Globemaster, which was en route from Fort McChord in Washington state to Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage when it crashed in bad weather on Nov. 22, 1952. Crews on Saturday finished the two-week search at Colony Glacier with the intent of providing closure to more families.
Donald Rumsfeld - the forceful U.S. Defense Secretary for two presidents and the main architect of the Iraq war under George W. Bush – has died at age 88, his family said on Wednesday. Rumsfeld, who ranks one of the most powerful men to hold the post, brought charisma and bombast to the Pentagon job, projecting the Bush administration's muscular approach to world affairs. With Rumsfeld in charge, U.S. forces swiftly toppled Iraqi President Saddam Hussein but failed to maintain law and order in the aftermath, and Iraq descended into chaos and violence "Stuff happens," he told reporters in April 2003 amid rampant lawlessness in Baghdad after U.S. troops captured the Iraqi capital. Rumsfeld played a leading role ahead of the war in making the case for the invasion. He warned of the dangers of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction but no such weapons were ever discovered. And U.S. troops remained in Iraq long after he left his post. Rumsfeld- who also served as defense secretary for president Gerald Ford - also oversaw the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 to oust the Taliban leaders who had harbored the al Qaeda leaders responsible for the Sept. 11 on the United States. 20 years later, the U.S. in the final process of pulling out of Afghanistan. But U.S. forces during Rumsfeld's tenure also were unable to track down Osama bin Laden. The al Qaeda chief slipped past a modest force of U.S. special operations troops and CIA officers along with allied Afghan fighters in the Afghan mountains of Tora Bora in December 2001. U.S. forces killed him in 2011.Rumsfeld became a lightning rod for criticism and, with the Iraq war largely at a stalemate and public support eroding, Bush replaced him in November 2006. In "Rumsfeld's Rules," his compilation of truisms dating to the 1970s: he wrote - "If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much." Another quote, equally apt, "It is easier to get into something than to get out of it."
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul complained bitterly Tuesday about the government's COVID-19 response but did not single out former President Donald Trump for blame, instead accusing Kentucky's governor and Dr. Anthony Fauci of encroaching on personal freedom. In a home state appearance in Greensburg, Kentucky, the libertarian-leaning Republican said Americans should make their own decisions on whether to be vaccinated. “We don’t really need people who believe in some sort of elitism to tell us what to do," said Paul, who is an eye surgeon, speaking before a luncheon audience.
BRASILIA (Reuters) -Cases of COVID-19 may be declining in North America but in most of Latin America and the Caribbean the end to the coronavirus pandemic "remains a distant future", the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said on Wednesday.

Only one in ten people have been fully vaccinated, which PAHO director Carissa Etienne called "an unacceptable situation."

America’s most iconic youth organizations – the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA – have been jolted by unprecedented one-year drops in membership, due partly to the pandemic, and partly to social trends that have been shrinking their ranks for decades. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000. The Girl Scouts say their youth membership fell by nearly 30%, from about 1.4 million in 2019- 2020 to just over 1 million this year.
