Trump Campaign Staff Involved in Altercation with Arlington Cemetery Official
According to campaign officials, the altercation was prompted by a photographer filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried, known as Section 60. The cemetery released a statement to NPR saying they had made it clear that political campaigning and “election-related activities” are prohibited in Army cemeteries by federal law and only cemetery staffers were authorized to photograph or film in the area. Several images and videos of Trump's visit to the cemetery, including what appears to be Section 60, were shared by the Trump campaign. When a cemetery official tried to block Trump’s campaign staff from entering the section, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official to the side, according to a source with knowledge on the incident.

PREHISTORIC VOCALISM
In the beginning was the voice. Voice is sounding breath, the audible sign of life. --Ibid. Men sang out their emotions long before they could say what they were thinking. But naturally, we shouldn't think that "singing" here means the same thing as it does in a modern concert hall. We simply mean that our relatively monotonous spoken language and highly developed vocal music are differentiations of primitive utterances that had more in common with the latter than with the former when we say that speech originated in song. At first, these utterances were exclamative rather than communicative, similar to the crooning of babies, the roaring of many animals, and the singing of birds. In other words, they came from the individual's own inner craving without considering any other creatures. Our distant ancestors had absolutely no idea that it was possible to share thoughts and feelings with another person. --Otto Jespersen, Language, Its Nature, Development and Origin
