...What the Jesuits Taught Me I graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit High School, the prep school you profiled, one month before the apocalyptic riots of 1967 [Nov. 16]. I am most proud of the fact that U of D chose to stay in Detroit and not abandon it as the other Catholic schools did. My class continues to contribute to our namesake city in many ways. We have purchased two bricks on the world-class Detroit River-Walk promenade, the only school that has done so. A few years ago, I moved back to downtown Detroit after retiring...

...Salvador's civil war officially ended with a peace accord in 1992. But this month marks the 20th anniversary of the conflict's last major battle, a 1989 FMLN attack on the capital San Salvador. As part of its counterattack, the Army murdered six Jesuit priests and two of their housekeepers; but the rebels' actions during that urban offensive, which killed scores of civilians and injured hundreds more, weren't particularly admirable, either. If the Route of Peace can help to keep Salvadorans, and foreign governments like the U.S., from repeating the mistakes of that dark decade, then it seems...
