<p>Conflict</a> Over Tradition Ends A West Point Cadet's Dream - New York Times</p>
<p>Oops, nevermind. I found the article this morning when I was searching the NY Times to see what the WP football team was up to this weekend. </p>

Congratulations to all Firsties!</p>
<p>Yup, our Firstie gets her ring today---hopefully a call to mom and dad tonight! :)</p>
<p>I know a few plebes who are waiting to greet her....!</p>
