Obama at Notre Dame and China at the Gates

The May 18 issue of Today's Papers give good coverage to President Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame. The local Taliban protested.

Also of interest, in light to the Daniel Gross column I posted earlier today, was an item (with links) about Chinese interest in acquiring some of the parts that are falling off of the U.S. auto industry. (The reference is to an old joke about British cars: "How can you identify a British automobile?" "You follow it until parts fall off.")

Finally, there is a story about the land in Alaska rising as the weight of the glaciers is removed by global warming. Years ago, I read an article which mentioned that Scotland was still rebounding, elevation-wise, from the weight of the glaciers of the last Ice Age. These are long, slow processes.
