Inside
- Birthday for a prince (A. J. Boyd Assistant Viewpoint Editor)
There are enough reasons to celebrate today that one might easily forget that it's Monday. For example, we celebrate the beginning of Drug Free Babies Week, World Communication Week, and even National Osteopathic Medicine Week and the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today is National Authors Day, National Family Literacy Day and the 9th anniversary of the McDonald's Restaurant decision to stop using styrofoam containers. More significantly it is the Feast of All Saints or El Dia de Los Muertos. But one cause of celebration is even a little more noteworthy because of its timeliness.
