A terrier mix named Nora rescued from a dumpster in Kansas made herself at home at the Wichita Police Department’s Patrol East. Captain Kevin Kochenderfer said when a woman came into the station on South Edgemoor not long ago, she told officers she heard what sounded like screaming or crying coming from a dumpster outside, KWCH reported on Friday. Kochenderfer investigated and was surprised to find little Nora, who was three to four months old, inside a crate covered in garbage. Officers quickly brought her inside the building and cleaned her up. “Probably for a month and a half, staff and I rotated who was going to take care of the dog for the evening, and eventually after about a month, she ended up at my house permanently,” the captain explained. Now, the fiesty pup accompanies him to work every day and serves as a member of the squad. She also goes on calls. “I take her to QuikTrip.

Bay of Pigs has lessons for our time
It was 60 years ago this week that an uncertain new president launched an ill-conceived military venture of astonishing naivety. The scheme was straightforward and audacious: 1,400 U.S.-trained Cuban exiles would land at the Bay of Pigs and ignite a populist uprising that would topple a Soviet-backed communist revolutionary by the name of Fidel Castro . It was an unmitigated disaster. With an army of 25,000, Castro quickly quashed hopes of an uprising as his forces killed more than a hundred exiles and imprisoned most of the others, and President John F. Kennedy suffered an embarrassing global setback just three months into his presidency. ADVERTISEMENT Worse, the disaster came just weeks after JFK had launched his Alliance for Progress , which was supposed to set a new tone in U.S.-Latin American relations. Rather than continue to back right-wing regimes that supported U.S. interests in the region, the United States would provide billions in aid in exchange for … [Read more...] about Bay of Pigs has lessons for our time
