Members correspond here with each other, often moving to another topic, as do you. I prefer not to comment on the judge. I will clarify an opinion when asked, as above, with anticipation of not stirring politically partisan passions. It would be bullying while our neighbour is in torment. Keep cool, keith. All this will pass.

I commend members to look up Berea College in Kentucky, an old Athens in Appalachia. Nancy and I had dinner couple weeks ago with a board member and president and his wife. Berea is high in the US News and World Report rating but No.1 in the other. Luminous examples of intellect and integrity are all over America.
