Greetings
Students, Parents, Friends, & Readers:
Here
is September’s edition of “Articles of Interest” for your perusal, contemplation,
and consideration.

a generous stipend.
Continuing
the spirit of Fred Rogers’ Neighborhood,
Daniel Tiger returns as an animated series on PBS, red cardigan sweater and all!
The
NYTimes provides a detailed account of the recent campus wranglings at
University of Virginia in the article aptly titled, “How Not to Fire a President.”
Superman,Grab a Book: Two dwindling cultural icons (payphones & paperback books)
unite in as could only happen in New York City.
al Jezeera reports exciting
news about recently announced new visa agreements between India and Pakistan.
On
a lighter note, from my visit to the renowned “lowering of the flags ceremony” at
the Wagah Border in February, it is quite
clear that the two countries have more familiarity than enmity. Enjoy the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_PzMSw6jZo
As
always, I welcome your comments, feedback, and commentary.
With
sincere regards,
