Seattle Post Intelliger, 4-2-06
- John Hope Franklin on why the post-Katrina dialogue on poverty fizzled:"It's not so much Katrina as a phenomenon as it's Katrina as a metaphor for what
our society has become. It reflects; it's a mirror of what we've become -
super-extraordinarily complacent." -
Chippewa Herald, 4-1-06
- J. L. Granatstein on from Vimy to Afghanistan:"I think it comes from our desire to be different from the U.S. We've always said
that the Americans fight wars and we keep the peace. And I think it goes back to 1956

good to do in the world and that we could change the world." -
