Ordinarily I complain when the Herald-Whig runs a lot of wire service copy.....isn't providing local news what a local newspaper is for? But today the H-W made an excellent decision to fill two pages of the front section with AP stories about the 5-year anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center. It brought us all back home....and back to a genuine consideration of what is at stake in the world today.

Followed by an equally important story on the front of the City/County section.....26 column inches and a huge photo.....kids went to church camp this summer!! Wow!! How important!!

On the sports section, Don O'Brien departed from the typical root-for-the-home-team-at-all-costs mode of H-W sports to pose some rather veiled criticism of how the QU football program is being run. Interesting, if a bit cryptic.
