It seems anachronistic for the U.S. to insist on Cuba’s isolation because of its political system or its human rights record when we are establishing better relations with states that have similar ideologies and equally checkered pasts such as Burma.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

But above all, for the hunter, guns are about tradition – the tradition of fathers and sons sharing the outdoors together; the tradition of sportsmanship and respect for prey that keeps the single-shot long gun alive in an age of semi-automatics; and the tradition of checkered wood and polished steel that makes my gun much the same as my father's, and his father's, and so on back through the generations. Но для охотника оружие это прежде всего традиция. Традиция отцов и сыновей, которые вместе проводили время в лесу и на речке, традиция мужества, порядочности и уважения к добыче. Благодаря этой традиции однозарядное ружье с длинным стволом живет и в нашу эпоху полуавтоматического оружия. Благодаря этой традиции рифленая древесина приклада и полированная сталь на моем ружье точно такая же, как на отцовском ружье, как на ружье деда – и так далее, в глубины поколений.
