James Garner was wounded twice in Korea. He received his first Purple Heart there. The second took 32 years. Long before Maverick and The Rockford Files, Garner spent 14 months serving in Korea with the Army's 5th Regimental Combat Team. He had been there just two days when enemy shrapnel struck him in the face and hand. Garner survived the wound and received his first Purple Heart. Months later, in April 1951, he was wounded again—but this time, the fire came from his own side. U.S. Navy jets mistakenly attacked Garner and his fellow soldiers. His rifle was shattered, he suffered phosphorus burns to his neck, and he was hit in the backside as he dove for cover. The National Archives confirms both wounds in Garner's official military records. Years later, Garner could laugh about where that second wound landed. He joked that, considering the size of the target, how could they miss? But there was a problem. Garner had earned a second Purple Heart for that wound. He never received it. More than three decades passed. By then, the young soldier from Oklahoma had become one of television's most familiar faces—Bret Maverick in Maverick and Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files. Then, in November 1982, Good Morning America host David Hartman learned what had happened and began making inquiries. The Army went back through Garner's old records. On January 24, 1983, at Lorimar Studios in Los Angeles, Maj. Gen. Lyle Barker finally presented Garner with the recognition he'd earned for that second wound more than three decades earlier. The Army acknowledged that it was correcting an error. Garner was 54 years old. He joked that getting the medal 30 years late was still better than getting it posthumously. But then he explained why receiving it all those years earlier had mattered to him. There was someone he'd wanted to show his Purple Hearts to. His grandmother. By the time the Army finally corrected the mistake, she had already died.

Facial reconstruction of a 10,000-year-old woman from Alborz, Iran She was described by the anthropologist J. Lawrence Angel (1951) as follows: Hotu 2 and 3 were found partly supine, with their heads together and positioned lower than their footless legs, within the early 4th gravel layer above an underlying sandy deposit. This position suggests a casual backward fall from a higher level near the cave wall and does not rule out accidental death, possibly caused by falling rock disturbed by food-gatherers. The woman (Hotu 2) was about 167 cm tall, with a muscular yet slender build. Although she showed robust bony ridges, her femoral robusticity index (11.9) indicates a slender shaft. Deep gluteal fossae, pronounced crests, strong adductor tubercles, and enlarged muscle attachment areas on the tibiae suggest well-developed muscles adapted to rough-terrain travel. Her hands were long and narrow, shoulders likely not broad, and hips narrow. While some proportions approach those of lanky modern males and the skull may give a male first impression, the pelvis is clearly female, with a deep inlet and wide outlet. Pelvic features also suggest physical stress, possibly related to carrying children. The pubic symphysis corresponds to early Phase V. Overall, this woman, about 27 years old, was exceptionally strong, tall, and slender, surpassing the average build of ancient Greek, Medieval Norwegian, or modern American women. The skull vault is 75–100 cc larger than the modern average (1,325 cc). It is long and high, with a noticeable post-coronal depression and concave temporal planes, suggesting the parietal curve was not fully corrected during growth. The cerebellar area bulges downward, giving the brain cavity a vertically developed, somewhat empty appearance. These vault features resemble those seen in populations across the African and Near Eastern desert zones. However, the broad skull base, wide face, low rectangular orbits tilted downward, small nose, nearly horizontal chewing plane, square jaw angles, and protruding chin are Cro-Magnon-like. This differs from the later Iranian facial type, which is narrower and more sloping. Among the Hotu population, such features as the mouth and chin combination, the Cro-Magnon-like low orbits, the Iranian full cerebellum, and perhaps trends toward sacral hiatus and first molar abscess point to a certain genetic unity, and plausibly "inbreeding." She had a large cranial length of 186 mm, medium-large cranial width of 135 mm, medium-large cheek width 129 mm.

Why is Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal — chair of the Democratic Party's Progressive Caucus — peddling a false narrative about Cuban healthcare being better than the U.S.? From my research on my book PHARMA, I know what she says is WRONG. But she keeps repeating it and I am sure many progressives believe it. No legacy journalist is calling her out so let me do the job. Most recently, she stood at a Capitol Hill press conference on July 1 — flanked by Reps. Delia Ramírez, Jonathan Jackson, and Ro Khanna, under a banner reading "Demanding an End to the Blockade Against Cuba and International Medical Solidarity" — and told the crowd that Cuba, despite all its difficulties, had done admirable work preventing “maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, and cancer,”in her words, "areas in which we in the United States are still struggling to make progress." It wasn't an ad-lib. It was a return engagement. In an April interview after her own delegation trip to Havana, Jayapal said Cuba has "the lowest infant mortality, maternal mortality — sort of the opposite of what the United States has." When the reporter mentioned Cuba's higher life expectancy, she agreed with that too. The Washington Post's editorial board flagged it then as a flawed diagnosis. She said it again in front of National Nurses United two months later. So it's worth actually running the numbers, one at a time. Maternal mortality. The U.S. rate was 18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2023, and it fell further to 17.9 in 2024. Cuba's own Ministry of Public Health reported its maternal mortality rate at 40.6 per 100,000 in 2024 and rising to 44.1 in 2025 — better than two-and-a-half times the American rate, and climbing. There is no version of the current data where Cuba is "the opposite" of the U.S. on this metric. It's far worse. Neonatal/infant mortality. Cuba's official infant mortality rate did fall to a low of 4.0 per 1,000 live births in 2018 — a genuinely low number, and one Cuba has kept touting. But two things complicate that figure. First, a peer-reviewed study in Health Policy and Planning found evidence that Cuban physicians have been pressured to reclassify early neonatal deaths as late fetal deaths (effectively, miscarriages) to hit government mortality targets — a known method of statistical manipulation, flagged by demographers going back to the 1990s. Corrected for that, researchers put Cuba's real infant mortality rate somewhere between 7.45 and 11.16 per 1,000, not the sub-5 figure the government published. Second, and more damning for Jayapal's live claim: Cuba's own current numbers show infant mortality at 9.9 per 1,000 as of the end of 2025 — up 148% from that 2018 low, and now well above the U.S. rate. Havana's maternity wards are reporting sewage leaks in neonatal units and adolescent pregnancy rates spiking past 20% in some provinces. Whatever Cuba was doing right in 2018, it isn't doing now, and the 2018 number itself was likely inflated by data manipulation to begin with. Cancer. This is the claim with the least data behind it and the most against it. The most recent regional analysis of Latin America and the Caribbean, using 2022 GLOBOCAN figures, found Cuba has the highest age-standardized cancer mortality rate in the entire region — 136.6 per 100,000 for men, 91.6 per 100,000 for women — ahead of Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia. There is no dataset I could find, from PAHO, WHO, or IARC, showing Cuban cancer outcomes outperforming the United States. Cuba's president, Díaz-Canel, touring a Havana maternity hospital the same week Jayapal spoke, said the healthcare system currently can't get lifesaving treatment to more than 100,000 cancer patients, including 1,200 children, due to shortages. That's not a system beating American oncology. That's a system in collapse, by the Cuban government's own telling. The bigger problem with the claim. During my reporting for PHARMA I learned that Cuba's low mortality figures have functioned as propaganda for an authoritarian government for over 30 years — repeated uncritically by public health researchers, NGOs, and now members of Congress, because the story fits a preferred narrative about what a "resource-poor" country can accomplish with universal healthcare. But the country producing those numbers has no free press, no independent statistical audit, and a documented history of reclassifying deaths to hit targets. That's not a minor asterisk. It's the whole ballgame if you're going to hold a press conference built on the premise that Cuba is quietly outperforming America. Does Pramila Jayapal know she is selling a disproven story or does she not care so long as it fits her narrative that a communist universal healthcare system is better than the one in America?
