...Leader's motto is "Unbowed and unafraid," and it's a good reflection of its editor's philosophy. Wickrematunge had worried over the past few days that he was being followed, but that had not diminished his enthusiasm for the next big story. I spoke to him less than an hour before the gunmen appeared, and he was full of ideas. It will be up to the staff at the Leader - including his wife, also a journalist with the paper - to continue that work. A staffer who was waiting at the hospital during his surgery told me a group...

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep your mail carrier from making the daily rounds, promises the U.S. Postal Service's unofficial motto - but the economy might. With 9.5 billion fewer letters and packages delivered in the 2008 fiscal year compared with 2007, the biggest mail volume decline in history has contributed to the agency's $2.8 billion loss for the year.

...most of the Ivy League campuses (or made an extracurricular activity) during the antiwar protests of the 1960s. The Yale Political Union concluded this fall that the university ought to bring ROTC back to campus, a move some students said would help the school live up to its motto: "For God, For Country, and For Yale." While many of the objections are based on the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays, op-eds and letters to the editor in the Yale Daily News - which endorsed the idea - argued that allowing ROTC back would encourage debate...

...organization was hardly a novel concept, following in the wake of both the defunct Hollywood Association of Foreign Correspondents and the Foreign Press Society. But after they dissolved, a group of journalists led by a correspondent for Britain's Daily Mail launched the HFPA in 1943. The founding motto: "Unity Without Discrimination of Religion or Race...
