By Chelsea Zhang | March 14, 2005, midnight | In Print »

At President Bush's second inauguration, he sat among congressmen in the first section of bleachers, close enough to see the wrinkles on Bush's face. He watched from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives when Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi addressed Congress in September. But he had no constituency, no personal office, not even the right to vote.

Senior Patrick Brice still remembers back to that day last month - he had stood silently in the woods for nearly four hours, occasionally radioing two of his friends who were further from him. His hand rested tiredly on his gun, a muzzleloader, as he waited for an animal to come. Finally, he heard the crunching of leaves as footsteps slowly approached. Raising his muzzleloader with his eye fixed intently on the target, Brice squeezed the trigger. The last shot rang out and then soundlessly, the body thumped to the ground. Brice's first deer lay dead.
