Spring 2006 SLAM! - Congrats to the winners - see you all next time! |
"Invalid Item"  by A Guest Visitor Silence had decended upon the city like the first snowfall, the November air far colder than the temperature would suggest. Elementary school children were not told of the death of the President. I had to learn it from older boys whose greatest joy had been to tease naive little sisters. I did not believe, but banter did not follow. We walked in silence. At Main Street I could hear the newsboys calling out headlines like they did in the movies, not real life. Once home, I had to believe. Television and radio knew nothing else but "assassination," "President Kennedy dead" and the grief and sorrow of the nation. Camelot was lost to America that awful day and 'twas years before I found my way back to Neverland and Wonderland. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Everything hangs on words, including ourselves. Often we only learn what we think -- and who we are -- when we write. -- Roger Rosenblatt, Family University Professor in Writing |
