  1. History of black jockeys is long, if not recent

    Thanks for <a href="http://bio.tribune.com/MikeKlingaman">Mike Klingaman</a>'s article, which focused on Kevin Krigger and his aspirations to break the over 100-year absence of African American jockey winners at the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes ("With the weight of racing history," May 16). One quibble: The article gives the impression that African American jockeys emerged during Reconstruction, when as Mr. Klingaman writes "the sport was young, agrarian and accepting of former slaves and their kin who rode the animals they'd once cared for."

  3. 'Game of Thrones' recap: 'The Bear and the Maiden Fair'

    It really pains me to admit this, but I&rsquo;ll confess it anyway: I like Jaime Lannister.
    The Baltimore Sun
    It really pains me to admit this, but I’ll confess it anyway: I like Jaime Lannister. Yes, he pushed innocent 7-year-old Bran Stark from a window, paralyzing him. And, yes, he very-grossly has sex with his own sister. And, yes, he’s...

  5. Towson costumer passes on her passion for history to her students

    Nora Worthington, the resident costumer for the Baltimore School for the Arts, has long loved the idea of dressing up and living the past. As a sixth-grader, she starred in Hampton Elementary School's Bicentennial production, and she visited her two grandmothers who had houses overflowing with antiques.

  7. 'Game of Thrones' recap: 'Kissed by Fire'

    Poor Sansa Stark.
    The Baltimore Sun
    Poor Sansa Stark. First, she was pledged to marry the despicable, pathetic, cruel, spineless boy-king Joffrey. Now, the Lannisters are plotting to stick her with his even less-attractive uncle, Tyrion. Granted, to viewers of “Thrones,”...

  9. America is exceptional, and that includes the way we treat immigrants

    <em>Dear Scholar, </em>
    Dear Scholar, It was wholly a pleasure to get your thoughts about the current debate over illegal immigrants and how to approach the nettlesome challenge they represent to us -- and we to them. It was good of you to rehearse some classical history for...

  13. Thatcher and the Falklands

    Regarding the recent article, "Argentine leader not on list for Thatcher funeral" (April 12), it seems logical that to me Great Britain did not invite Cristina Fernandez, the president of Argentina to Margaret Thatcher's funeral. The news item, however, labels this "a snub likely to deepen a diplomatic dispute over the Falkland Islands." This is a perfect example of how the daily news media misleads the public.

  21. Colonial connection serves Players well in lively '1776'

    Congress' inability to agree on matters of import isn't exactly a new phenomenon, but the Colonial Players' current production of the musical "1776" reminds us that fiery debate has been a part of our nation from the outset.

  23. Honoring Harriet Tubman

    President Barack Obama's designation Monday of a new national monument to Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery on a Dorchester County plantation in 1849, then helped guide scores of other slaves to freedom in the North during the decade before the Civil War, honors a small and unprepossessing African-American woman who played an outsized role in American history.
