NYT reviews Greensboro’s International Civil Rights Museum, complete with slideshow. It looks impressive, although the review states toward the end that the museum’s focus is a bit too broad, which has the unintended effect of minimizing the sit-in movement.
I also read Joe Killian’s N&R front-pager on how the dispute over the proposed downtown hotel hangs [...]

Ralph McInernyThe Church and the world has lost an immense soul in the passing into eternity yesterday of Dr. Ralph McInerny, long time professor of philosophy at Notre Dame University. He was the modern epitome of the Renaissance Man: a towering intellectual, a Latinist, raconteur sublime, a writer of doggerel, a mystery writer (the Father Dowling series) and the list could go on. Of all this, I suspect the role in which he took most pride was in being a husband and a father.
He was also a good, dear and abiding friend who could stick with you in hard times and throw wisdom on your befuddlement. The joy and sense of hope he indefatigably exuded was tested over the years by his own beloved Notre Dame, especially of late, as I would often remind him (as a Trojan to a Domer). But if he did not have confidence in the administration of the university, he never for a moment lost confidence in the Lady in whose honor it was named.

Not gonna happen, Eastover.
Recall we’ve been tip-toeing into this territory for some months now, asking the impolite question, do Charlotte’s laid off bankers have any actual skill sets?
Now comes a sobering account confirming that — at least in some cases — skilled workers are hard to find locally.
We are just going to have to watch the total jobs [...]
