While it remains stubbornly yoked by poverty, war and famine the continent of Africa's population is slowly but surely raising the quality of life to its general population. Experts say that Africa's population will double to more than 2.4 billion over the next few decades due to improved health care and medicines.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Sub-Saharan Africa, which remains the world's poorest region will record the largest amount of population growth of any area in the world between now and 2050.
This figure is courtesy of the Population Reference Bureau. The sudden baby boom could put an enormous strain on resources and fledgling economies in some of the world's most deprived areas, the bureau warns.
The projected growth in population assumes that family planning will become more widespread in regions where, for religious or cultural reasons, contraception has not been widely adopted. Due to these cultural and social norms in the region, countries worldwide with the highest fertility remain in sub-Saharan Africa. Women in sub-Saharan Africa average 5.2 children, a rate that can go as high as 7.6 in Niger.
The good news is that improved access to medicine and health care mean millions more of these children will now survive to adulthood.
"Nearly all of that growth will be in the 51 countries of sub-Saharan Africa, the region's poorest," Wendy Baldwin, the organization's president and CEO says. "Rapid population growth makes it difficult for economies to create enough jobs to lift large numbers of people out of poverty."
The region's population is also very young. Forty-three percent of the population is younger than 15 years of age.
"Given its youthful population, future population growth in Africa will depend upon the degree to which the parents of tomorrow use family planning," Carl Haub, senior demographer and co-author of the data sheet says.
"The projections that we cite assume that family planning will become more widespread. If not, Africa's population will grow more rapidly, further constraining efforts to address poverty, create jobs, and protect the environment."
Developing countries tend to have wide income gaps between rich and poor that are associated with dramatic differences in fertility and health.
Women in Uganda, from the poorest fifth of families have twice as many children as those from the wealthiest fifth. Children from the poorest families are much more likely to die before turning five years old than their counterparts in the wealthiest families.

In defense of Firefox , they cannot possibly check every addon or extension out there, and they dont exactly get the high six figure incomes of employees at commercial firms. It IS after all a community project. We, as users, are always going to be "beta testers" on some level. I didn't have to pay a great deal of money for my FF Browser, did you ?

I experience exactly the same problems described.. the memory useage of firefox reaches nearly a gig of memory in about an hour particularly if I have been downloading images. And it almost always consumes 90% + of working memory (and gobbles page filespace) . Waiting patiently for it to resolve its memory leak doesn't help. closing firefox and reopening it is only a very temporary fix. Eventually FF stops working (and the entire system reaches saturation and stops working). I will try the various extensions suggested.. and report back.

But this is clearly something the the FF Dev community needs to address.. perhaps a little looping routine that constantly checks FF mem usage and clears no-longer used space. For the time being I am using Opera and/or Chrome (neither of which I particularly like) and patiently working on fixes for my FF.

Press Release from Exist Digital:
The 16th Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) takes place this weekend and one of the highlights is a joint performance by two African musical legends, Zimbabwe's Oliver Mtukudzi and South Africa's Hugh Masekela. Tuku and Hugh have been working on this collaboration since 2014. It brings together their two brands of music, with new interpretations from each artist as they add new dimensions to well-known songs that have made them international stars. The two artists performed the first iteration of their collaboration at the Soweto Theatre in September last year. There is mutual respect by the two artists of each other's work. "Oliver is one of the guardians of African Heritage," Hugh Masekela said during one of their rehearsals. "I respect his hard work and commitment to his culture." Speaking about Hugh's contribution to African music, Tuku was just as effusive, "Bra Hugh is one of the best arrangers of music I know. I have admired his music for many years and it is an honour to be able work with him." Known as 'Africa's grandest gathering,' this year's CTIJF takes place on 27 and 28 March. Tuku and Hugh provide one of the highlights on the final day of the festival, performing on the main Kippies Stage at 9pm. There are plans to bring it to Zimbabwe as soon as their two calendars will allow. Other artists performing at this year's CTIJF include Yvonne Chaka Chaka (South Africa), Ringo Madlingozi (SA), Al Jarreau (USA), Dirty Loops (Sweden), Sons of Kemet (UK) and Banz Oester (Switzerland).
Apparently Saviour has taken a local conservationist in his sights over the export of baby elephants. But Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force Chairman Johnny Rodrigues has this to say in response:
By keeping the elephants in Zimbabwe where they belong, there are many advantages:
- It creates employment
- Keeps the hotels, safari parks, taxis etc running
- Enables the locals to sell their curios
- The locals can become shareholders of the wildlife areas and earn commissions from tourism
As a minister who is responsible for water, he can't even provide the people with water. Many people in Zimbabwe haven't had municipal water for several years. I live in a medium density suburb and I haven't had water for 6 years. As a minister responsible for the environment, 55 million hectares of trees have been deforested. All he can think about is selling Zimbabwe's animals, our future generation's heritage.
Last week the Vice President and Justice Minister of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa defended the issue of women wearing mini skirts. According to NewsDay the VP said that: "We went to war for freedom, fighting so that all people would be free. So the new Constitution speaks of freedom of choice and freedom of expression. What matters are her morals, not dressing, it is her right."
I got excited. Finally, the activism by women groups for women to have the right to express themselves in their dressing and move freely in public space was being recognized by people in high office.
I saw a few tweets from women celebrating, 'VaMnangagwa vati tipfeke mani-skirts' (Mnangagwa says we can wear mini-skirt!). First Lady Dr Grace Mugabe had made similar remarks at the celebration of International Women's Day and made particular reference to the young lady harassed at 4th Street Bus Terminus last year.
But this feeling did not last for long.
I began to give this whole issue some serious thought. I told my excited self, as a young Zimbabwean woman, am I really excited about having my right to freedom of choice, expression and movement reduced only to how I dress?
What of those who want to express outrage about the system and blow whistles in the streets of any city or town? What of an opposition supporter who burns a ruling party poster or t-shirt? Is the 'freedom of expression' purported by our VP ever going to protect these individuals or group of people? Wasn't this same 'freedom of expression' in existence when Itai Dzamara and friends were arrested for their sit in protest at Africa Unity Square?
Section 61 of the Zimbabwean Constitution guarantees everyone the right to freedom of expression, which includes the right to receive and communicate information and the freedom of the media. I know there exist many legal instruments that limit these rights like POSA and AIPPA but as Zimbabweans we ought to read the constitution and understand that it is the supreme law of the land.
And we have a constitutional court to demand our rights!
I watched Camilla Nielsson's documentary on the constitution making process in Zimbabwe. From the video I saw all the sweat and hard work that was put into the constitution making process. But still today, two years later the constitution is not being honored. Was this just a ploy or game? Guy Lodge, a film critic had this to say about the documentary, "Even the slyest political satire couldn't outdo this riveting documentary study of Zimbabwe's troubled coalition government."
So was our constitution making process just a comedy show, and the world is laughing at us? We need to see all laws realigned to the new constitution and have the Bill of Rights respected in totality. Including the right to safe, clean and potable water, the right to basic health care services, the right to make political choices freely, the right to education and so forth.

From the most recent Granta newsletter, a beautiful excerpt:
The weather
In the old days in India, the seasons were clear: there was summer, and there was winter. No such thing as spring or autumn. Winter took about three days to transform into summer, and then the heat blazed away for a few months, till it became a bit pleasant, and then cold. The only worry was the monsoon: would the rains come on time, would the crop (mostly dependent on rainfall) survive. Indeed, so crucial was the monsoon that elections have been known to be won and lost on the basis of a good or absent monsoon. But now, there's no accounting for how the weather will behave, it's gone crazy. We've had nearly winter, and some strange rain and even hailstorms, almost into the middle of March, and now, overnight, summer and the heat. The crop's destroyed in north India – wheat, mustard and many other things. Farmers are devastated, they're unable to pay back their loans because they have nothing to sell – and the suicides have already begun. If ever there was evidence of the consequences of climate change, it's right here, in our lives. – Urvashi Butalia is the co-founder of Kali for Women, India's first feminist press, and the author of 'Mona's Story.'
Press statement from Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) on the continued disappearance of Itai Dzamara, who has been missing for the last 16 days:
As the United Nations commemorated the International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims on 24 March 2015, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) remains gravely concerned about the continued disappearance of Itai Dzamara, a pro-democracy activist who has been missing for the last 16 days.
Dzamara was abducted by some unidentified men from a barber-shop near his home in Glen Norah at around 11:00 hours on 9 March 2015 for yet to be established motives. The unmarked vehicle used during his abduction has been identified as a white Nissan Hardbody. He has remained missing since then. ZLHR reiterates that those responsible for disappearing Dzamara have committed a very serious crime under international law.
There is currently a High Court order which obliges the Zimbabwe Republic Police to work closely and in conjunction with lawyers appointed by ZLHR to search for Itai Dzamara at all such places as may be within their jurisdiction in terms of the law and to report progress of such search to the Registrar of the High Court by 1600hours every Friday, fortnightly until his whereabouts have been determined.
As a member state to the United Nations, ZLHR calls on the government to take tangible measures to ensure that:
- The truth about the whereabouts of Dzamara is established and revealed as a matter of urgency;
- Those responsible for this serious human rights violations are held accountable;
- Once found, Dzamara is afforded his own right to truth – the full reasons of his abduction, the exact identities of his abductors, and any relevant details that will enable him to make informed decisions about his remedies.
The Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association has recently published a research paper on the introduction of pre-paid water meters in Bulawayo. In the Executive Summary, they argue:
The key findings of this study are that the decision of the City Council to introduce pre-paid water meters is inspired more by the need for cost recovery. The Council is anticipating improved revenue collection through the introduction of prepaid water meters. Thus prepaid water meters are expected to improve consumer metering and billing, improve water demand management, improve accountability and improve customer confidence and willingness to pay amongst other things. In spite of these perceived advantages the study revealed that the introduction of prepaid water meters infringes on poor people's right to access potable drinking water; the obtaining socio-economic environment in the country in general and the city in particular do not augur well for the introduction of punitive water demand management tools such as prepaid water meters; basing on precedents in other countries the introduction of prepaid water meters will have adverse social, economic and environmental implications; the capital expenditure levels linked to prepaid water meters do not justify their use as a cost recovery tool.

Remember Zanu PF saying that they'd create over 2 million jobs in the next 5 years if they were elected. Hmm. But then there's Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu who says "he plans to spend $100m to support 10,000 entrepreneurs over the next decade, and to create one million jobs through the initiative." Zanu PF was just yanking your chain to get your vote but if they were serious about stuff maybe they should give Tony a call.
Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu has decided to fund 1,000 budding African entrepreneurs as part of a $100m (£67m) initiative to boost the continent's private sector. Mr Elumelu said the entrepreneurs were Africa's "hope for the future". The 1,000 come from 52 African states and territories and were chosen from some 20,000 applicants. Forbes magazine listed Mr Elumelu last year as the 26th richest African, worth $1bn. The BBC's Lerato Mbele reports from South Africa's main city, Johannesburg, that his donation is the largest by a businessman towards the development of small businesses in Africa. "The selection of these 1,000 entrepreneurs brings us closer to our ultimate goal – to drive Africa's economic and social transformation from within and to radically intensify job creation in Africa," Mr Elumelu said in a statement. He plans to spend $100m to support 10,000 entrepreneurs over the next decade, and to create one million jobs through the initiative, the statement said. – BBC

Oregon State 40
(15-10, 6-9 Pac-12)

(22-3, 13-1 Pac-12)
9:00 PM ET, February 21, 2009
BERKELEY, Calif. -- It's almost a lock that California's Ashley Walker will be the Pac-10 player of the year this season.Golden Bears coach Joanne Boyle is touting her senior forward for national honors, too.Walker had 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to become Cal's career leader, helping the sixth-ranked Bears to a 62-40 win over Oregon State on Saturday night."She's put herself in position, and I know she'll give a lot of credit to her teammates but she's worked hard and she's always been the unsung hero on this team," Boyle said. "Great things have happened for her but she's gone and gotten them, too. Everything she gets this year she deserves."Walker has done pretty much everything since arriving at Cal nearly four years ago, the same time Boyle was hired to take over a program that hadn't had a winning record in 12 straight seasons.Boyle and Walker have led the Bears to the NCAA tournament each of the past three years and they have them on the verge of capturing at least a share of the Pac-10 title for the first time ever.Walker's 1,030 rebounds moved her past Colleen Galloway, who had 1,029 from 1978-81. The Pac-10's leading scorer also went 8-for-13 from the field and needs only 23 points to become the second Cal player to have 2,000 for her career."[Galloway] holds every record here so it's really cool that I got to do it at home," Walker said. "I didn't know I got the [record] rebound. I just thought I was coming out."Walker scored 12 points in the first half then spent the second half chasing down the Bears' rebounding record. She got it with 5:37 remaining on a miss by Oregon State's Kirsten Tilleman.When Boyle called a timeout soon after, an announcement of Walker's achievement was made and the crowd at Haas Pavilion gave the Bears' senior leader a standing ovation. She walked to the bench and waved to the crowd then sat out the final five minutes."She's just got so many things to her game that matter," Oregon State coach LaVonda Wagner said of Walker. "She can shoot the ball, get to the glass at ease ... she's a shot-blocker. She's just a total package."Walker moved into 13th place on the Pac-10's career scoring chart.Devanei Hampton and Alexis Gray-Lawson added 11 points apiece for the Bears (22-3, 13-1 Pac-10), who have won 14 of 15 and remain tied with Stanford atop the Pac-10 standings.Brittney Davis scored 16 points for Oregon State (15-10, 6-9), which was swept by Cal for the third straight year. The Beavers lost to Cal 77-72 on Jan. 22.Cal made nine of its first 10 shots and went on a 16-0 run early in the first half to take control, getting six points from Walker while Greif and Gray-Lawson each added 3-pointers. Walker did most of her damage in the paint while outrebounding the Beavers by herself through the first 13 minutes."We just really wanted to run, push in transition and get some easy buckets," Boyle said. "Even tired I thought we ran well tonight."The Beavers went more than seven minutes without a basket in the first half, fell behind by as much as 30 and failed to get anything going against Cal's defense.The Bears went into the game allowing a conference-low 50.3 points a game, the 12th best mark in the country among Division I teams. Cal did nothing to hurt that standing against Oregon State, holding the Beavers to 15 first-half points, their second-lowest half of the season. They had just 14 first-half points against Arizona State on Feb. 14.The Bears improved to 19-0 when holding teams under 55 points.Davis, who went into the night averaging 17.3 points over her previous nine games, did her part for Oregon State but got little help from her teammates. Leading-scorer Talisa Rhea missed her first eight shots and didn't score until 3:41 remained in the game. She finished 1-for-10 from the floor and had two points."They outrebounded us by 10 in the first half and we made 10 turnovers," Wagner said. "Right out of the game we're down 20 possessions to the No. 6 team in the country and that hurt us. We weren't able to recover."The game was so lopsided that with 16 minutes left in the second half, Walker had 16 points and Oregon State had 19.In the two games since losing to Stanford and dropping three spots in the AP poll, Cal has outscored its opponents 146-82 and forced 33 turnovers.

French Priest Says Holocaust Death Toll Likely to Rise Following Investigation
When Father Patrick Desbois heard that chilling Nazi maxim, he knew that he had to make a journey into one of the darkest corners of the Holocaust.
After a five-year investigation he had received a shocking insight into the mechanics of genocide — and strong indications that historians may have to raise their estimate of how many Jews were killed.
Working with a ballistics expert, the 53-year-old French priest dug up the mass graves of Ukraine.
"Every village was a crime scene," he says, "and each case was different because the heads of the killing squads had to take in all the different factors — the geography, the transport available, the proximity of partisans — before organising the most efficient massacre."
As his work in the Nazi killing fields continues, he is convinced that the figure for the number of Jewish dead will have to be revised upwards.

I am about to approach 3150 IP, and I would like to purchase a support hero. I already have Soraka, Kayle, and Morgana. (I know that the latter two have several build styles, but they can be played support effectively) I was debating whether to buy Taric or both Zilean and Janna with my IP.
I think Zil has a great passive and nuking ability up to level 9; he would be my go-to in TT. I have only one game logged as Janna, but had trouble using whirlwind in clutch situations. Will it get easier in this regard? She seems great on paper, though I am wondering how badly her nerfs affected her.
Taric seems extremely solid in terms of pushing and healing, especially with/against physical comps, which would fill in a nice gap; since Soraka and Morgana are better with/against more magical teams.
What would the community recommend? I'd especially value advice from owners of all 3.
Senior Member
They're all good heroes, and in my opinion are situational picks.
Do you have friends that you play with? If so what do they play? If you play solo pick one and slowly buy them all.
Taric is top tier right now, Janna is as well imo though people definitely are whining about her nerfs. I don't think Zil is a great champion, but he can be good in the right hands.
Personally would rather go Janna and Zilean, because Janna wins every game
A AP/aura support Taric can make one of the best healers and team pushers(a heal which heals for around 1k and a ult which heals you every second for around 200hp if built right), though you will get targeted quickly when they see you as an Aura Banner.
Janna...Is Janna, she specializes in generally being an annoying person that can knockup the entire enemy team in a battle with a single spell, has a natural ghost ability with her passive and air elemental passive while its active being like exhaust. Then an aoe pushback heal which makes the entire enemy teams hardwork at getting down you teams health worth nothing if they dont stun you. Seen a janna with Heal and clarity and whenever the teamfights got going and not looking good, she would pop her ult and two summoner spells at the same time(restart from fresh anyone?).
A good Zilean can cause hell for the enemy team if you got a really heavy melee dps'er with guardian angel, say Tyrn for example. He dies first time, comes back to life and you ult him, he dies again and comes back to life just to use his ult. Throw a bomb each time on Tyrn(rewind after you use your alt), and watch the enemy scatter.
I have a lot of friends who play, and they cover pretty much every range of champion. I could use some help with supporting physical carries, and I think Janna and Taric would be good for that. A pro for Taric is that after winning a team fight, his ult can really help the team capitalize on a victory. Zil's ult, as Zenthamos stated, would be extremely good as well for keeping carries alive in a committed team fight.
How badly was the hitbox to Howling Gale nerfed?
I love seeing a good Zilean on my team.
Grand Treason
Janna is absurd
Zilean is annoying
Taric is great but..fabulous..
Thanks for the advice. So far I have the following totals.
Taric 3
Janna 5
Zilean 4

NEW YORK (AP) — Nordstrom Inc. reported a 15 percent increase in third-quarter net income, fueled by strong demand of men's shoes, men's clothing and children's fashions.
But the upscale retailer's profit results missed Wall Street estimates, as the company invested more money in enhancing its rewards program for shoppers. Investors pushed down shares by 3 percent in after-hour trading, extending the decline in regular trading. The company released its results after regular trading closed Thursday.
Still, Nordstrom's solid quarter is encouraging news as the upscale retailer heads into the holiday season. Sales have rebounded since late 2009 for Nordstrom and other luxury retailers as the affluent have spent more. The question, however, is how Superstorm Sandy, which disrupted businesses and households in the Northeast, will affect consumers' future spending.
Nordstrom closed the books on the quarter two days before Sandy pummeled the densely packed Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region. Many shoppers are dealing with problems ranging from transportation to power outages to more serious issues like property losses.
Nordstrom is also grappling with new demands from shoppers armed with smartphones and tables. That's pushing the high-end merchant, long known for service, to come up with new ways to cater to shoppers.
"We aspire to continually improve the customer experience," Blake Nordstrom, president of Nordstrom, told investors during a conference call. "There's no finish line when it comes to this subject as our customers have access to a growing number of choices with expectations increasingly centered on speed and convenience."
Last year Nordstrom started offering free shipping on all online purchases with no minimum dollar amount. Previously customers had to spend at least $200 to qualify. Return shipping is free too. The company is also giving sales associates devices that let them check out shoppers anywhere in the store.

We stayed at 0 Canada House on a weekend in February. The host and staff were friendly and helpful, as well as appropriately unobtrusive. The breakfasts were excellent. We really liked that part of the kitchen was open 24/7 for guests and was stocked with a variety of teas and snacks, including fresh-baked goodies. It was nice to be able to make myself a cuppa tea and take it up to our room before retiring. The main salon was stocked with maps and other materials we found useful in planning our walking excursions. Our room was comfortable. Though most of the rooms were occupied during the weekend, we didn't hear other guests while we were in our room. Much quieter than we expected. Also, we heard very few street noises. The location is perfect for exploring Vancouver, including Stanley Park. We didn't use our car all weekend. Parking was convenient -- right behind the building. All in all, a very good choice for a Vancouver weekend.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at O Canada House. We loved our room --spacious and clean-- and the front room and dining area are beautiful as well. Breakfast was delicious and staff were kind and went out of their way to make recommendations for restaurants and entertainment. We also enjoyed O Canada House's location -- its only a few blocks from the big buildings/hotels of downtown, but is set within a more residential area with apartments, restaurants, and cafes nearby. Two very cute and friendly dogs are occasionally to be found on the first floor, and we had a blast playing with them!

The hosts at the O Canada were welcoming, and made our stay wonderful...particularly our 4 legged host Daisy! We loved having a quaint house to stay at while having downtown within walking distance. The food was amazing each morning, and snacks available all day! I would definitely come back to the O Canada house!

We stayed at O'Canada house for two days in early November. We were welcomed by one of the staff and were allowed to check in a bit early, which was nice after a flight from the east coast. Finding such a well-preserved and charming house within a busy high-rise filled area was a pleasant surprise. We stayed in the North Suite, and were amazed at the spaciousness and appointments of the bathroom. The room was very pleasant and quiet. Our first morning was wonderful - we were one of two couples boarding so we had plenty of time to enjoy Danny's breakfast, have a nice conversation with Susanne, and meet Daisy. Both Susanne and Danny provided us with suggestions for the rest of our stay. For the warmth of the hosts and the charm of the house, you can't go wrong with O' Canada house.

We did not expect to be allowed in to the B&B as we were earlier than the suggested time, but we were able to leave our luggage and sit on the lovely cool porch, while we waited for our room to be prepared.The Penthouse suite was huge,(almost wasted on just two of us) and air con kept it at a good temperature.The beds were enormous; so even for a tall man & average wife, comfortably spacious. Bathroom immaculate, well supplied with toiletries and a good shower. Breakfast was novel to us, varied and generous.All the staff, without exception,were helpful, welcoming and gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. In particular, Susanne was always on hand with supplies for the unexpected incident.(my glasses broke and I needed to put a screw in them) and she invited us to make ourselves a cup of tea when thirst hit us (we are English, of course!) A memorable stay, which we would happily repeat, given a chance.

CDC researchers examined 3.3 million births in the U.S. in 2002 and found that smoking during pregnancy could be linked to as many as 8% of premature births and 19% of full-term babies born with a low birth weight that year. If the mothers had quit smoking, the researchers estimate that up to 7% of the deaths among premature infants and 34% of deaths caused by SIDS could have been prevented.

In the summer of 1864, the Union cause rested with Generals Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman. They commanded the most formidable armies ever seen on the continent, yet neither had been in uniform four years earlier, when the war began. Both were West Point trained and had served, without distinction, in the regular army. One had left the army in disgrace; the other in frustration. The detractors of one said that he drank, and the other's enemies said he was "unbalanced." When the two were working in harness, during the long and difficult campaign against the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg, one newspaper had editorialized that the "army was being ruined in mud-turtle expeditions, under the leadership of a drunkard [Grant], whose confidential adviser [Sherman] was a lunatic."
The Vicksburg campaign had eventually succeeded. Grant was called east by President Lincoln to take command of all Union armies. He put Sherman in charge of the western armies positioned around Chattanooga. His plan, as Sherman described it: "He was to go for Lee, and I was to go for Joe Johnston. That was his plan."
Like all able generals, they understood that the enemy's armies were the ultimate objective. Destroy them, and the rest—cities, governments, whole populations—would follow. So the true objectives of the campaigns were the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Robert E. Lee and the Army of Tennessee under Joseph Johnston. The nominal objectives were Richmond and Atlanta, and these were the focus of attention in the press and in the political debate about the future of the war and President Abraham Lincoln.
The South could not afford to lose either city and certainly not both. The Confederates would be compelled to risk their armies to save them, and when they did, they would be crushed by the Union's superior weight in numbers, arms, and all things except, perhaps, generalship. On that matter, the jury was still out.
The plan was simplicity itself, and the generals who were to execute it were plainly brutal and determined enough to pull it off. And yet . . .
Grant found it hard going in Virginia. He began the campaign in early May, and in a month he had lost 60,000 men in a series of exceptionally bloody battles, none of which could be called a Union victory—the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Courthouse, Cold Harbor. By mid-June, his army was in Petersburg, outside of Richmond, locked down into something like what the world would eventually come to know as "trench warfare."
Washington—indeed, all the Union—was demoralized by the casualties and the stalemate. There was a sense of futility in the air that translated into a desire, simply, for an end, for some kind of political settlement that would require, first, a new president. With the election coming in November, President Lincoln told a confidant that he expected to lose and perhaps to lose badly.
With Grant stalemated, hopes against this possibility seemed to rest with Sherman, down in Georgia. Atlanta was about as far from his base in Chattanooga as Richmond was from Washington. But while he had the same distance to go as Grant, he faced a different kind of enemy attempting to keep him from getting there.
Someone had said earlier in the war that Robert E. Lee's name "might be Audacity." If that were so, Joe Johnston's could have been Prudence or Caution. Lee had taken over command of the armies defending Richmond in 1862 from Johnston, who had been seriously wounded in the Battle of Seven Pines. Prior to that battle, he had retreated for days ahead of Union armies commanded by his old friend George McClellan in the Peninsula Campaign. It was a contest between two equally cautious commanders. Lee had changed all that, saved Richmond, chased McClellan back to Washington, and been nemesis to Union commanders and armies ever since.
Johnston had recovered from his wound and been given new commands, ultimately taking over in the west from Braxton Bragg, who had won a victory at Chickamauga but was otherwise both unsuccessful and unpopular—so much so that even the support of Confederate president Jefferson Davis could not keep him in command.
Johnston was a prideful, prickly man, whom Davis disliked. He had a reputation as an able administrator and tactician. He could handle an army, and his troops liked him, but he was not inclined to take risks. A story told about him got to this aspect of his character. It seems that the patrician Johnston, who enjoyed quite a reputation as a wing shot, was invited on a hunt at some plantation. With each bird that flew over, he found a reason not to shoot—too high, too low, too far away, etc. He was a crack shot who never missed because he never fired a shot.

Good news for those of us – and our numbers are legion – who are abidingly and insatiably interested in the American Civil War and the large footprint it has left on our history: Mackubin Owens has published a splendid piece in the current National Review on the battles and maneuvers of 150 years ago that have come to be known as "The Virginia Overland Campaign." In his treatment of
A century and a half later, the battle of Gettysburg's place in the national consciousness is so secure that you think of it as inevitable: the great contest of arms toward which all the previous battles of the Civil War had been leading. Thus, all that came before the breaking of Pickett's Charge was rising action, and all that followed, conclusion and denouement.
Geoffrey Norman's lovely piece on the Seven Days Battles of June 1862 in this week's edition of the magazine needs no glossing, but the fights that brought Confederate General Robert E. Lee to the fore also marked the beginning of a period where the future of the United States was increasingly in doubt.
