I read some of his work and to consider even the circumstances under which he was forced to write-without full privileges even in places where he was doing research-it was sadly ironic that he continued to experience many of the conditions and events which he was writing about. The world is poorer for his loss. John Hope Franklin was a living legend in the field of history.

Mike Tomlin, Bettis, Ward, James Harrison, Polamalu. The 2008 election cycle through Pennsylvania. It's almost surreal. We talked before about the implications of race and the Nunn family in Pittsburgh, but this is becoming one of the more compelling stories in all of sports. Thanks for the link. I knew they were looking -- and it is great to see that John Stallworth was prepared for this opportunity. Aside from Swanny being a Republican, they seem to have mostly turned out alright. :) Mizzo:
