Playing the political game

Fakir Syed Aijazuddin
Millions of Pakistanis pay to watch their elected favourites compete in games played in our political national stadium.
Politics here has been likened to cricket, especially after a professional cricketer was fielded as captain of the country’s team. That comparison does not hold: too many players on the pitch, too little respect for MCC rules of gentlemanly conduct, too frequent run-outs. No one is interested in keeping score, only in settling scores.
Is it like football? Not really. Football requires dexterity, speed, and control of the ball. Our political fixtures are nothing more than painful tackles, deliberate fouls, and own goals – overseen by a partisan referee who wields a truncheon shaped like a whistle. ....

Corruption Disruption: How Profiteers Harmed the Union's War Machine

The illegal theft and resale of goods made it more difficult to wage total war.
Key point: All militaries have had to contend with supply issues and war profiteering. Here is how the Union dealt with these issues.
“For sugar the government often got sand; for coffee, rye; for leather, something no better than brown paper; for sound horses and mules, spavined beasts and dying donkeys; and for serviceable muskets and pistols, the experimental failures of sanguine inventors, or the refuse of shops and foreign armories.” So wrote Harper’s Monthly journalist Robert Tomes in July 1864. What Tomes was describing was far from uncommon during the American Civil War, a war that many have put on high moral ground beneath the umbrella of righteousness. But in that war, as with most wars throughout history, thievery and corruption ran rampant.

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Countless revolver variations found their way into the hands of soldiers, both North and South, during the Civil War. From the diminutive Smith & Wesson Model 1 to the heavy-handed LeMat and everything in between, they all looked very similar to one another.
That’s what makes the revolvers designed by Charles S. Pettengill so unique.
In an era dominated by single-action revolvers with external hammers, the New Haven-based inventor created a double-action revolver with an internal hammer.
