They did so by covering the same stories and taking the same risks. Several experienced fierce fighting, one was wounded and one was captured. These young women–almost all were in their 20s–sought the same kind of release from the horrors of what they saw as did their male colleagues. “My own opiates were good Scotch whisky purchased cheaply from the PX, and sex,” notes Denby Fawcett, who reported for The Honolulu Advertiser....

Scotland held a commanding three-goal lead over Argentina in a match they had to win to have any hope of finishing as one of the best third-place sides. But Argentina hit back in the final 16 minutes in dramatic circumstances as Milagros Menendez reduced the deficit and goalkeeper Lee Alexander’s own goal made it 3-2.

Spelling does count, and there is a one minute timer on each set of words, meaning players will need to go quickly. RELATED: Alexa Adding Destiny 2 Skill and Ghost Speaker This concept is nothing new, as there are many mobile apps which ask players to unscramble or make words out of seemingly random letters, but it may be one of the first big name games to be a purely smart home device based game, and perhaps more will follow in the future....
