- On a beautiful day in San Francisco 16-year-old Laura Ruth Barry had no trouble defending her San Francisco Parkside tennis crown, beating fellow American Sam Barry (who is, in an extraordinary coincidence, her father) 6-1 and 6-2. The match was actually more lopsided than the score would indicate; basically, Barry kicked Barry’s ass. You might say that Barry, who has beaten Barry before, beat ...

- This episode 4 of season 2 of Lifetime's ARMY WIVES - titled "Leaving the Tribe" - is on an entirely different plane than the first three episodes of this season. I looked up on www.imdbpro.com the credited writer of the episode - Bruce Zimmerman - with story credit to Nick Thiel.
