Lucky son of a bitch


The New York Times website has a fine sequence of photos by Tom Hicks, showing a Marine patrol in the 'Stan, in the course of which Lance Corporal Ryan Mathison (left) stepped on a mine that didn't explode. 'Lucky son of a bitch,' said his corporal. Indeed. The story, by C J Chivers, is here, and in Saturday's paper. Blue skies, Ryan! -- Dan Ford
