We introduced you to David Foster Wallace, boyhood poet and Constance McMillen, who fought the good fight, and won. Also, Morning Joe's town hall devoted to education reform that featured lots of politicians and talking heads but no actual teachers.

Arthur Ashtern wrote about his City Year experience.

Samuel Steinberg Seidel wrote about transforming guns into roses.
