Players in Blackface on Social Media Are Suspended
A private Christian university in Spokane, Wash., suspended five members of its women’s soccer team after a social media post surfaced showing them dressed in blackface and Afro wigs.The comment is raw.
It reads like there was no further investigation.
Do not jump to conclusions.

The Architecture of Segregation
The fight against the interlinked scourges of housing discrimination and racial segregation in America is far from finished.Racial discrimination is not necessarily at the bottom of the problem.
Try income discrimination.

Glacier National Park, Through Foreign Eyes
Hiking (and camping) in Glacier with a Brazilian environmentalist brings its iceberg-pocked turquoise lakes, bighorn sheep and melting glaciers into ever sharper focus.People tend to expect a zoo experience with the animals.
Seth Kugel had a good time in Glacier Park and Cris learned a good deal.
I might try a different project. Getting a boat or canoe up the Kintla Lakes looks interesting after a quick tour. by car.

A Colonial-Style Home in the Catskills, Built to Look Old
Julian Peploe and David Ryan are no longer a couple. They still produce a line of lamps together, and share a house in East Meredith, N.Y.The thought of construction is good.
