...original poems. Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Peter J. Gomes, one of the founders of the Foundation, said that it was a “wonderful thing,” particularly for students, to be able to be in the presence of a “legend.” Dee’s significance was not lost on students in attendance. Andrew C. Coles ’09 said after the event that he was “blown away” by Dee. “She’s a very powerful and moving speaker. You could...
...Infante releases, a cover sticker reads: "Por PRIMERA VEZ EN DVD EN EE. UU.!" (For the first time ever on DVD in the U.S.!) That's the first hint that this collection is aimed primarily at those Mexican-Americans who already know Infante as a legend or a loving memory -though it's available at amazon.com and, I'm assured, at Blockbuster and other large stores.

When Jacqueline Tobin and Raymond Dobard explored in their book Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad (Random House) a family legend that said messages encoded in quilts helped slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad, they had no idea that their hypothesis would inspire rancor from scholars who declared it false. They also couldn't have predicted how their story, published less than 10 years ago, would capture the popular imagination - being treated as fact on The Oprah Winfrey Show, in museum exhibits, in children's textbooks...
