America’s fixation on a wall between the U.S. and Mexico recalls America’s determination to build a wall to solve a deadly conflict half a century ago.

'Go Hawks!' Living with the defeat

For “Hawk” fans, Feb. 1st didn’t turn out like we wanted. The next morning, Groundhog Day, was worse. It was like the movie. The game and that last play kept playing over and over and over again — but with no hope of a happy ending whenever we awoke.
