For all his gratitude toward Troop 52 for supporting him and Pascal, who are both gay, Lucien is frustrated by the official national policy excluding gays as both Scouts and adult leaders. Giving troop sponsors leeway to set their own policies would be a positive step, Lucien said, but he would prefer a nationwide nondiscrimination policy. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

Palestinian school girls pass a billboard covered by national and Iranian flags with Arabic reads "thanks and gratitude to Iran", in Gaza City, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012. Residents of the Gaza Strip have plastered large billboards in key locations thanking Iran for its help during a recent eight-day battle against Israel. The posters reflect the strong ties between Iran and the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups in Gaza. Israel considers Iran to be its most dangerous enemy, citing Iran's support for the militants and its suspect nuclear program. During the fighting, Gaza militants groups fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, including Iranian-made missiles reaching as far as Tel Aviv. (AP Photo/Adel Hana)

This undated image released by Simon and Schuster shows researcher Michael Hill. His gifts for assisting others helped place Hill's name on the cover of a book this fall. "Elihu Washburne" is a collection of private journals and correspondence by the 19th century politician and diplomat. The book was edited and annotated by Hill, and McCullough wrote a foreword, in part an expression of gratitude for what was an essential part of the historian's best-selling "The Greater Journey," which tells of American artists in Paris in the 19th century.
