Searching for Lincoln

By: Mr. Wilson on May 20, 2008

Sometimes I like to search Google News for articles that contain "lincoln nebraska" or related queries. Here is a fairly random collection of my recent finds:

Ted Sorensen talks about his roots
Former Lincolnite John Moran is performing in Tel Aviv
I'll bet most of you didn't know that "the palm-down, extended-arm salute was the officially prescribed form at Prescott School in Lincoln, Nebraska" in 1941
UNL is getting many Paul Fell cartoons and illustrations

What the salute item refers to is, for some reason, not linked in the article; it’s called the Bellamy salute. As anyone who’s read The Great Gatsby knows, it’s not the only previously common ritual or symbol to fall out of use in the 1940s.
