WRITER'S CHOICE IS taking the day off.

Writer's Choice will return to it's regularly scheduled programming next weekend...

That's because everyone is probably going to spend today in the Canteen at the 'letting off some steam' party. Everyone is invited! The Glitter ball is up, (Mr. Waverly has given a warning regarding that after last year's Christmas party)  The cooler is stocked, food is arriving and the music has already started.

Napoleon and Illya will no longer be waiting tables... instead they are now dressed as Chippendale dancers....hmmm one of their best disguises to date.

Since there are so many cousins coming in for this party from all over the world...it sounds like it will be an 'all day' affair.

Lots of food, drink, dancing, fun and games!  (and whatever mischief Solo and Kuryakin can get into...they were the instigators at the Christmas party as I recall.

Hold your head up high, for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
And promise me, they will never see, the tears within our eyes
Although we are men, with mortal sins
Angels never cry.

-from the song ‘Winterborn’ by The Cruxshadows.



The whole mission had been doomed from the start and had culminated in a rare failure for U.N.C.L.E. THRUSH had succeeded in wiping out an entire village in Argentina in order to take control of the land. Gold deposits had recently been discovered there, and they wanted it. The intelligence on their plans had gotten to U.N.C.L.E. very late. Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin had been the nearest agents, so they had been sent immediately. By the time they’d arrived, the village was beyond help.
