Why Charleston's Streets Floodnew
History teaches important lessons, not the least of which is the lesson of where not to drive downtown on a rainy day. The high ground of the peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper rivers that was first settled in the 17th century has been expanded by the filling of creeks and marshes.

A Deeply Melancholic Statenew
A couple of days ago I was in a deeply melancholic state because of various personal struggles, including health and financial issues and an ex-wife I still love, but it all is leavened with the sense that as one approaches the end of life, the world becomes a much more apocalyptical place.
Sitting here in Los Angeles, I gazed at recent photographs of Nelson Mandela in South Africa wearing a kind of a beatific smile. It left me wondering if he really felt that sanguine about the planet he is leaving soon. I pondered these matters in part because it evoked some powerful links in my own life.
Mandela, as we all know, was a compatriot of another great Apartheid leader--Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who I saw in 1999 at Westminster Abbey in London at a memorial for the violinist Yehudi Menuhin--who also is my uncle.

The Pilgrimage Issue: True Tales from the Roadnew
