To family and friends. She also penned among those letters about 100 letters to jacob bun, a springfield merchant and an old friend of her husband with whom she had left her personal finances in the states. On december 12th, 1876, she wrote a letter to him that i think is pretty typical of these businesstype letters, and i think it also demonstrates marys remarkably clear mind at a time when her son robert and many others believed she was severely mental unstable. I like this letter because it illustrates marys Mental Health and intellect and it reveals her care and concern for family members back home and it demonstrates that even in her Twilight Years in a location far removed from home, she retained her passion and interest in american politics. The pension paper accompanied by your note with instructions have been received. I return the paper to you signed by the proper au ....

It is my pleasure to introduce thomas carson, professor of philosophy at Loyola University in chicago. He is a graduate of Saint Olaf College and brown university. Professor carsons easting teaching and Research Focus on ethics, as his book titles suggest. The status of morality, value and the good life, and lying and deception. Professor carson has a lifelong interest in history, which led him to write his most recent book, lincolns ethics. I had the pleasure of reading it in manuscript. I commend it to your attention. I must admit, i was a bit skeptical when informed that i philosopher, not an historian or political scientist, was writing about lincoln. I have long shared the view expressed by henry adams, who said philosophers offer unintelligible answers to unsolvable problems. I assure you that lincolns ethic ....

When they got off the bus they were the mercy of this crowd who then proceeded to attack them even further. The deal that had been worked out with local Law Enforcement and the segregationists was evident 15 minutes they would have 15 minutes before Law Enforcement intervened. After about a 15 minute point a local Law Enforcement officer pulled his weapon and fired a shot. That is what stopped the attack. In the meantime the trailways bus arrived an hour later. They dont know until they arrived that the Greyhound Bus was already attacked. The interesting thing about the trailways bus, unlike the Greyhound Bus, several segregationists had gotten on the bus in atlanta. They were riding from atlanta. They had not ....

Television, on cspan, are real people. When we saw president obama, perhaps the thing that most stood out to me is he had bags under his eyes. Hes a real person dealing with real things. Sunday night on q a type High School Students from around the country talk with us about their experiences in the week long government and leadership program, plus their plans for the future.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the most inspirational people we have met this week. I want to be in the
