Over 100 years ago, Columbus Day was known as Discovery Day. President Benjamin Harrison's Discovery Day proclamation in October 1892 asked the people of the country to "cease from toil and devote themselves to such exercises as may best express honor to the discoverer, and their appreciation of the great achievements of the four completed centuries of American life." The holiday honored the spirit of the occasion more than the man who made it happen. The holiday did not glorify Christopher Columbus, but all he made possible and what generations of free Americans had made of it. The laudatory speeches and commemorative events of those times lack sophistication by contemporary standards, but the country was much younger then, and with youth came enthusiasm. The holiday spoke to the value...

While the caption of last week's assassination of a Pakistani Cabinet minister may already be passing into the archives of world affairs, it deserves our reflection for more than the mere minutes it took to execute one human being in broad daylight. The terrorized streams of Shahbaz Bhatti's blood running off a soaked console in the back seat of a black sedan cry out to proclaim the frightful vista of a world that will forever change should Pakistan succumb to extremism ideology. The murder of this human rights activist, who became a Cabinet minister in the halls of the very Islamic country that censures his identity as a Christian minority is of no small magnitude. Mr. Bhatti was not part of the wealthy glitterati who make up Pakistan's elite, nor among the 95 percent majority Muslims ...

If you've continued to follow the news about the ongoing nuclear crisis in Japan, you're acquainted with the "Fukushima 50," the group of selfless workers who have struggled valiantly to fix the problems at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex. There are now several hundred workers trying to bring the reactors under control. We don't know who these "modern-day Samurai" (as the Los Angeles Times termed them) are; there have been stories of the emails the workers have sent to their families, of children praying that their fathers return home alive.

Modern popularist teaching presents ethics as situational and relativistic. Rather than using this current approach a more classical and reactionary methodology that calls for the reevaluation of some of the elder philosophies that regarded right and wrong in the context of absolutism is required. Confusion between the concepts of beliefs, values, morals, laws, and ethics has increased to the point where many people today consider these related ideas as synonymous. It is essential to discuss these related concepts outside of any single religious or ethnically based belief system. To do otherwise would inject individualistic religious or ethnic beliefs and values into the discussion, thereby negating the universality of the argument. Both modern and traditional approaches to ethics have ...

If you have always had a soft spot for the intrigue and romance of the nobility and their court alliances and rivalries, then the following fiction and nonfiction titles will provide you with many new reading adventures. In "To Defy a King," author Elizabeth Chadwick creates a medieval romance based on historical figures living a generation after William the Conqueror's English victory in 1066.

The new owners of the Ferguson Tea Room in Hurricane could not have selected a better month for their grand re-opening celebration. November is British Appreciation Month. Tea-drinking is a daily ritual in England and the owners of the tearoom are hoping customers will take time to relax and enjoy a cup of tea like their British counterparts, especially during the hectic holiday season. Teatime became the national obsession during Queen Victorias reign. Legend has it that Anna Maria Stanhope, the queens lady-in-waiting, came up with the idea of a small afternoon meal to tide her over until dinner was served at 9 p.m. She had tea and small cakes delivered to her boudoir and often asked other ladies to join her. Queen Victoria liked and adopted the idea. This afternoon tea was called low ...
