Better late than never

The Daily Emerald has a pretty good story on Obama's visit to Eugene - including the entire speech in downloadable .mov format.

Also check out the multimedia show. It's pretty good... maybe someone at the managerial level for the local "professional" newspapers could take notice and start joining college papers in the 21st century?

[Eugene] Remember Margaret B. Jones?

Turns out she was embellishing a little.

I posted on her here.

As bitchphd says:

Of course, in cases like this--where part of the interest in the book is based on its claim to represent a particular point of view--people can feel betrayed when they find out that the pov being represented is fictional (or fictionalized). But. I would be very interested in reading the book anyway, and I hope it doesn't disappear completely. The problem of authors writing fictionalized (or partly fictionalized) memoirs/history is as old as literature itself, and runs the range from pure fabrication to metaphor to generic embellishment to the inevitable fact that narrative shapes experience.

I concur.

[Eugene] Margaret B. Jones
