  “That’s right…breathe nice and slow for me. Bask in the stench.” 
  It was an accident—I destroyed the soccer jock’s pair of collectible sneakers. Now he says I have to repay him. 
  I’m broke, so I’ll be working the debt off. I’m his “sneaker boy” now. I go to his house every day after class to clean and polish his collection. 
  But…he’s doing something to me. 
  He makes me sniff the shoes while watching him flex. He makes me kiss and lick his feet. 
  This is so strange…why does it feel good?

  The birth of the US Navy’s “Take Charge and Move Out” (TACAMO) mission which provides essential airborne communications to the US nuclear deterrence forces.The US Navy’s “Take Charge and Move Out” (TACAMO) mission provides essential airborne communications to the US nuclear deterrence forces. Today it is a thriving community, respected by the Navy and the US strategic defense forces. But it wasn’t always so. Despite the enormous importance of the mission, for the first decade of their existence, the TACAMO squadrons did not provide a viable career path for officers, instead being a “one and done” tour for the junior officers who found themselves unluckily so assigned. A second tour in the squadrons was considered to be professional suicide. But in 1975, inspired by a significant commanding officer, a handful of lieutenants put their faith in a community that did not yet exist, betting their careers on that second tour. From their faith and courage was born the TACAMO community. This is the story of the birth of TACAMO, in the words of those who built the community from scratch.

  Byzantium and Constantinople:...

  Editors Charles River

  Due to the importance of the Roman Empire and the offshoot Byzantine Empire, it’s often forgotten that Constantinople wasn’t chosen at random; in fact, the city already existed, and it lent its name to the empire that was subsequently centered there. Byzantium, known originally as Byzantion, was an ancient Greek city centuries before it became known as Constantinople, and the etymology of Byzantion/Byzantium is still unknown. It has been suggested that Byzantion is of Thracian origin and may be derived from the Thracian personal name Byzas, which means “he-goat.” Ancient Greek legend refers to King Byzas as the leader of the Megaran colonists and the founder of the city, but the earliest name for a city on the site is “Lygos,” which likely corresponds to an earlier Thracian settlement described by Pliny the Elder in his seminal work, Natural History: “On leaving the Dardanelles we come to the Bay of Casthenes, ...and the promontory of the Golden Horn, on which is the town of Byzantium, a free state, formerly called Lygos; it is 711 miles from Durazzo.” 
  Pliny went on to explain that Lygos was a Thracian settlement founded between the 13th and 11th centuries BCE. The site, however, was probably abandoned well before Megara founded Byzantion around 657 BCE across from Chalcedon on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. The city was briefly renamed Augusta Antonina in the early 3rd century CE by the Emperor Septimius Severus, who razed the city to the ground in 196 CE for supporting a rival contender in the civil war and had it rebuilt in honor of his son and successor, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, known as Caracalla. This new name appears to have been quickly forgotten and abandoned, with the city reverting to Byzantium after the assassination of Caracalla in 217 CE, and that’s how it would be known when Constantine fatefully moved the seat of power there over a century later.

  Crown Jewels: Royal Women and...

  Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. 
  Look closely at the narratives about contemporary royal women and you will see a repeating pattern, each characterised as the monarchy’s saviour or a destroyer, saint or sinner, or describing an arc between those poles. It is when royal women attempt to define themselves, carve out meaning for themselves, that things get really interesting. “She won’t go quietly. That’s the problem,” said Diana in her controversial Panorama interview. Nor did she. 
  The requirement that royal women give up their voice was already out of step with those earlier times and her instincts. Her sons’ wives have taken openly divergent paths, Kate dutiful, Meghan kicking against the restraints. Their sharply polarised supporters reject the idea of any commonalities, yet they are there. Both women have seen their lives instrumentalised and distorted. 
  To appreciate royal women and their significance more clearly, it is necessary to unpick the storylines written for them, the preconceptions projected on to them. They are globally famous and universally misunderstood. 
  Crown Jewels will unmask characters far more complex and interesting than standard portrayals suggest—and also spotlight the fragility of the monarchy. For more than a century apparently unsinkable, the House of Windsor is floundering. The most compelling and consequential players in this unfolding endgame are royal women. 
  For fans of Robert Hardman (Charles III), Angela Levin (Diana’s Babies), Robert Jobson (William at 40), and Tina Brown (The Diana Chronicles).
