Thanks for keeping my uncle's stories alive, Ray. I've been thinking of him today especially as we honored labor's history, present and future in North Carolina at the Labor Spring event on UNC's campus. Hard to believe he's been gone sixteen years.

For those believing their votes don't count, here's a lesson from Indiana history. It involves a 1974 race in the 20th District pitting incumbent Republican John M. “Jack” Guy, Indiana House majority leader, against a novice politician, Democrat Jim Jontz, who died OTD in 2007.

@UNC_Press is a premier publisher the pride of @UNC . Given its record of excellence, why would the Board of Governors interfere with it in any way?
