I read the article, as well as the couple comments below it and one really

Should we panic that our libaries lack scrolls? Can you imagine a good

Rachel has voiced an epiphany I had many years ago when my oldest was in high
school - When we relied on print or broadcast media for our information it was
a much more level playing field. Whether you were in a rich school district or

Dear Colleagues,
My friend Racelle Rosett has written a wonderful book of short stories
called *Moving Waters*. It has received quite a number of excellent

book club list. She has asked me to tell you she has five copies

My mom and I are processing the last vestiges of the (erstwhile) Cornell
