The 1967 attack on the United States Navy intelligence ship Liberty off the coast of Israel during the Six Day War has never been fully explained. Even today, in the 50th year of the anniversary of the event, remaining survivors still dispute the official version of events.

The East Broad Top Railroad, a narrow gauge railway, is a unique piece of Americana and railroading. Located in south central Pennsylvania, it is a time capsule of structures and machinery from a past era. My good college friend and fellow photographer W.
