Running for president in 1948 as what the press called a Dixiecrat, he said that ''on the question of social intermingling of the races, our people draw the line.'' And, he went on, ''all the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, into our schools, our churches and our places of recreation and amusement.''

In those three weeks, both the Disinformation Governance Board and its leader, Nina Jankowicz, came under relentless and sometimes vicious attack from right-wing media and Republican lawmakers. [emphasis added]

What was the purpose of the Disinformation Governance Board?
Basically, everything you may have heard about the Disinformation Governance Board is wrong or is just a flat out lie. The board was quite simple and anodyne. What it wanted to do was to coordinate among the Department of Homeland Security's components — agencies like FEMA or the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency or Customs and Border Patrol — and make sure that Americans had trustworthy information about issues connected to homeland security.
But we weren't going to be doing anything related to policing speech. It was an internal coordinating mechanism to make sure that we were doing that work efficiently, we were doing it to the best of our ability, and we were doing it in a way that respected privacy, civil rights, civil liberties and, most importantly, the First Amendment.
For a decade Mr. Woiwode had been teetering on the edge of literary stardom. His mentor was William Maxwell, the gentle New Yorker fiction editor who had nurtured literary lions of postwar America like John Cheever, J.D. Salinger, Shirley Hazzard and John Updike, and who, like Mr. Woiwode, had grown up in a small town in Illinois and gone to the state university’s Urbana-Champaign campus.
Mr. Maxwell was both lodestar and protector when, at 24, Mr. Woiwode moved to New York, where he lived on beer and candy bars in an East Village room on St. Marks Place that rented for $9 a week. Mr. Maxwell would bring him sandwiches for lunches they shared on benches in Central Park. Editors’ Picks Your Dog Is Not Ready for You to Return to the Office In Court, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Dress to Suggest A Second Bedroom on the Upper West Side for Under $800,000? These Were Their Options.
Mr. Woiwode’s first novel, “What I’m Going to Do, I Think,” was a meditation on love — the story of a young couple’s moral and emotional quest set in a lodge on a Michigan lake, where they have gone for their honeymoon.

The gradual nature of sea-level rise means that for many coastal communities, it can feel like a distant threat. That is not the case on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the delicate chain of barrier islands fronting the Atlantic. Federal officials say that sea levels in the area have risen roughly one inch every five years, with climate change being one key reason. State officials say that some Outer Banks beaches are shrinking more than 14 feet per year in some areas. [emphasis added]
