...earned less than she would have made in the U.S. over the same period. If she didn't have Polish roots to start with, she's tried to grow them on the job. In 1994 Lundberg bought a home on the outskirts of Warsaw (relocating six families in the process) and characteristically took it down to bare bricks before renovating from scratch with the help of renowned local artisans. She can follow a conversation in Polish, and her two children now speak the language fluently. She says that Poles are even more "anarchist" than Americans and that she believes there...

And while the military may not have a viable alternative, it may be difficult for the top brass to accept orders from a 34-year-old with no military experience...

Kids ages two to five spend an average of 1 1/2 hours watching videos each day, yet children up to age five need adult help to process what they are seeing. Children use stories to explore the feelings they can't yet express. Fairy tales and legends give children important exposure to their darker anxieties: people roasting in the oven in Hansel and Gretel or being eaten by a giant in Jack and the Beanstalk. But without...
