On The Sunday Edition

Wow, The Sunday Edition was on fire this morning. In the first two hours, they had stories on the impact of the Iraq War on the upcoming US elections, and a heart-wrenching piece on the killing of student protestors at Kent State University during the Vietnam War.

Later on, they had a story on women in science, which was especially interesting given the great play we just saw at Neptune last night, The Little Years (about a girl growing up in the 1950s whose life ends up rather blighted because her early talents in math and science aren't supported by her family or her school). Then the show finished with an interview of the wonderful Alberto Manguel, whose latest book, The Library at Night, is of course on my to-read list.

I love it when my Sunday gets off to such a great, thoughtful start.
