...maintenance of a free and democratic society requires a certain cultural ecology,” wrote Glendon. The President honored Martin and Glendon, along with an eclectic assembly of historians, writers, teachers, lawyers, and investors. The NEH also awarded a medal to a project headed by the University of Virginia that compiled all correspondence to and from America’s first president called The Papers of George Washington.

...loss since the 2003-2004 season—which occurred during its last dual meet, against Columbia—and several individuals provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships.

The three were only part of a larger group of eight men who, over the course of a two-year investigation and three trials, were charged with the 1997 murder of Navy wife Michelle Moore...
...they could have had one more minute and a little more momentum. The Harvard women’s basketball team came up two possessions short in a huge non-conference road test on Saturday, falling 54-48 to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The Crimson rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit to tie the game at 46 with 4:55 remaining before the Cavaliers finished the game on an 8-2 tear. “It was a learning experience to lose that game,” sophomore forward Adrian Budischak said. “We made some...
