The sun is out today, but the temperatures are still in the teens. Here's what things looked like earlier this week after one and-half inches of snow fell. Jason Diller is the Icon's snow-blowing poster boy.
Bluffton native David Beer, a member of faculty of Malone University, Canton, recently edited a book on the essays and lectures of Charles Norris Cochrane.
Title: Augustine and the Problem of Power
Subtitle: The Essays and Lectures of Charles Norris Cochrane
Beer describes Cochrane, who died in 1945, as an under-appreciated thinker of the last century responding to the political and spiritual crises that confronted Western civilization.
