I am currently sitting at the circulation desk of Dickinson College Library in Carlisle, PA, and watching the rescue of 33 Chilean miners between perusing the battles of Henry V and overseeing the check out of materials to weary Dickinsonians in the midst of midterms. Watching live, that is - wee hours both here and south of the border, and miner #3 has just surfaced and hugged everyone in sight. Amazing..... Louis Armstrong did say "they'll learn much more than I'll ever know," did he not? As I watch live the rescue taking place in the Southern Hemisphere, from far far away, he might have to say it once again- what a wonderful world. ...And one that seems smaller by the day, doesn't it?
