Do you know who Nina Totenberg is?

Nina covers the U.S. Supreme Court news for NPR.  It is interesting to note that Nina Totenberg, the National Public Radio Legal Affairs Correspondent, does not have a degree.  She attended Boston University but never finished with a degree.

As an award winning journalist who is highly regarded in many circles, and who has broken several national stories, she has also been the subject of controversy - accused of plagiarism. 

If you don't already listen to Nina on NPR's Morning Edition, tune in, or visit the NPR website to get her coverage of legal affairs.  Whether you agree with her or not, you will learn from her knowledge and insight. 

Here is the latest from Nina:  http://www.npr.org/2011/01/19/133058835/Court-Rules-On-Privacy-Rights-Of-Federal-Contractors

Classes Have Started - Spring 2011

The group of students talking at the WPA meeting all agreed, the break was short, boring, and all were GLAD to be back in classes!  Why are you happy to be back in classes this Spring?  What are you taking and what are you looking forward to?
