Inspiring Stories

A list of inspiring stories:

Two North Korean women and their heart-wrenching stories of how they came to the United States:

The New Underground Railroad
Columbia redeems itself somewhat after (after the Qadaffi disaster) by offering a Cuban dissident an honorary degree:
An Honorable Honor
An oddly inspiring analysis of how we are more capable of absorbing immigrants now than at any point in our history. Some might find it dry, but for me, it just seemed like a sudden blast of Emma Lazarus:
Absorption Nation
Two extremely different heroes from the sinking of the Titanic, told on the occasion of the passing of Lilian Asplund at the age of 99:>
Never Forgetting a Night to Remember
Government, freedom and Alan Duncan:
Duncan's Three-Pointer

Peruse each article at your leisure. Each is worth reading, but pick and choose what interests you...or be like me, and read them all (and get nothing done except internet opinion reading).

Emma Lazarus was a Bolshevik, you know. True story.
