...spurred non-violent protests throughout the South. But can anyone remember what was happening in the North at the same time? University of Pennsylvania professor Thomas J. Sugrue attempts to remedy this gap in our historical memory with his new book, “Sweet Land of Liberty: The Forgotten Struggle for Civil Rights in the North.”Sugrue’s book is something to be celebrated. We all know the injustice that pervaded the South and the struggles of Civil Rights movement to overcome it. But many of us don’t know that many...
...program has been flooded with emotional phone calls. "But after these recent attacks people are saying, 'Let's not pretend everything's all right.' We don't need to make a show of the Mumbai spirit when what we need now is to make sure this will not be forgotten. All will not be normal again." It's not just Mumbai. Among the 185 dead were visitors and expats from Israel, Singapore, the U.S. and Britain, and those who had come seeking work in India's most exciting place from all over the country: a software engineer from Bihar...

I haven’t heard Janie/Jamie/Jenny laugh through the fire door again. And for Piper, that might not be too much of a problem. Maybe he thought she was only interesting for the length...
...participants volley back and forth with verbal attacks, strategies and approaches, making for a surprisingly cerebral war book. That tight focus does, however, leave large gaps. Alexander scarcely discusses the theories behind his interrogation strategy, its derivation or whether the U.S. military continues to use it. Such things are forgotten as the book winds down into a tense one-on-one with the man who can potentially hand over al-Zarqawi, but a fuller epilogue could have broadened the story beyond this single set of circumstances...
