Newspaper readership continues to decline in the USofA, with online readership not even beginning to make up the staggering losses in print. The most recent study I could find was by the Pew Research Center in 2006, which shows that from 1993-2006 the percent of people in the USofA who read a newspaper, in print or online, declined from 58% to 40%.

Letter to Sen. Clinton
Dear Senator Clinton:
Like most Democrats, I went into the Primary season assuming that you would be the nominee for President. I was eager to see how the dust and feathers would fly because I was interested in hearing what you had to say more than anything else. That’s just how we get the press interested in hearing the message, after all. Being Democrats, a little family fight is just the way we get ourselves worked up for the real thing.
Leading and Learning
It’s the day after President’s Day, the strange little wannabee holiday that fills in the space between Dr. King Day and Memorial Day. It’s a good time to reflect on leadership and what it means, and that’s the kind of mail I’ve been getting lately.
Dr. Carver
“Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.”
In February, it is customary to put up images of Dr. George Washington Carver in our schools as part of Black History Month. Most people see his earnest and humble stare coming from the cheerful posters and think, “Oh, the peanut guy.” But he was much more than that, perhaps even the greatest scientist who ever lived. Black or white.
Primary Reader
Many people have been asking very good questions about the Democratic Primaries. Sadly, I don’t have any good answers – but I can give a few really lousy ones.
