On May 3 the New York Times posted online a commentary by James Horn of 
Colonial Williamsburg. He writes, "The discovery, announced this week, of 
the cannibalized remains of a young settler at Jamestown...reminds us that 
the first European settlements were no Eden, and that the initial contact of 
peoples in the New World—native people, Europeans and then, very soon, 
Africans—was fraught from the first."

(Please note that I have, until this sentence, crafted this entire report 
without once mentioning Fort Monroe. But that won't last. Things have gotten 
worse.)
