...mourn the inexplicable, tragic murder of innocent people at Virginia Tech--the worst killing of its kind in the history of our country, we are told. Let's also take just a moment to reflect on what every day must be like for the citizens of Iraq, where senseless killings of this magnitude have become a regular occurrence in the four years since we invaded their country.

...graduates of Virginia Tech, my wife and I were very impressed with your cover honoring the victims of the horrible assault at our alma mater [April 30].

...glorify and revere" killers. But in response to his doubts about people recalling Ted Bundy's victims, those of us who were at Florida State University in the late '70s have not forgotten Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman. Likewise, I doubt that those who survived that day at Virginia Tech will forget their classmates and teachers. It is the media that keep the killers' names alive while those who were there and those who care remember the victims...
