Carolina Views in the News "We embrace access and equality rhetorically without making serious attempts to give them practical content. `Equal justice under the law' doesn't approximate the way the system operates in practice. Ordinary citizens are priced out of the justice system. ... "I don't think this is the way we meant it to be. ... The system we have is powerfully, dramatically and fundamentally at odds with who we say we are. ... In the crucible of this time, in this period of self-examination, it is vital to become fully engaged -- as lawyers, as citizens, as activists. Citizens who believe that our virtue as a people is still in the making -- that we are charged, literally, to make the promises of democracy real. That, as Dr. [Martin Luther] King said, `the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.' And that it is up to us to do the bending. And that, for us, these aren't just matters of right and left, they're matters of right and wrong. ... We can't escape responsibility for the system of justice we create." Excerpts from a speech by Gene Nichol, dean of the School of Law, to lawyers and others at a Law Day on May 1 in Charlotte that were published May 3 in The Charlotte Observer.
"By having a larger database with patient information over a longer period of time, it will help us develop better drugs." Rosemary McKaig, an assistant professor and epidemiologist, in a May 2 story in InformationWeek.com about the project between the University's Center for AIDS Research and SAS Institute. Thanks to a $600,000 grant from SAS, the center has developed a better way to organize clinical and research data for HIV patients. "If in Means of Ascent the climactic event is Johnson's theft of an election, in Master of the Senate the transfiguring moment is LBJ's triumph in driving through the first civil rights law of the 20th century. Johnson, Caro maintains, was nothing less than `the greatest Senate leader in America's history...' "Caro's most acerbic critics will welcome this assessment of a long-overdue recognition that Johnson was not always a monster." William E. Leuchtenburg, professor of history, in an April 21 review in The Washington Post of Robert A. Caro's Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Vol. 3. "On the personal side, you'll probably find more evidence of his illness, his various illnesses, much earlier than we expect him to be acknowledging. I think it's going to be very important to subsequent biographers."
Linda Wagner-Martin, professor of English and a past president
of the Hemingway Foundation, commenting in a May 5 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
story entitled "In search of the man behind the words," which describes
a Penn State University-based project to collect, edit and annotate
thousands of Ernest Hemingway's letters, including many that he never
sent.
