Book Review: ‘Go Set A Watchman’

Reading Harper Lee's "Go Set A Watchman" is like walking down an old familiar trail. You see the same trees, but they look a little bit older; the familiar tread somewhat more worn than you remember.

Your walking companion Jean Louise Finch, better known as "Scout," guides you and points out the changes she sees just as you do. In many ways Jean Louise has changed and stayed the same, but then ...

Cedarville Makes Changes to Campus, Names Faculty to New Positions

This means you can look nice for that job interview or presentation and not bring the smell of Cedar Lake with you. Hooray! Bye-bye dorm vacuums. If you’re prone to eating crackers in bed, leaving a trail of crumbs or bringing mud in on your shoes, you ...
