One hot topic

I've been gone a week -- a great vacation; stayed home for a week to watch heat radiate off my patio -- only to return and see one thing hasn't changed:

The Bill Meehan/plagiarism story remains just as heated as the weather.

When I returned to work this morning, what I found was a folder full of letters to the editor concerning the controversy of the Jacksonville State University president's column and the charges of plagiarism levied against the column's ghostwriter, former JSU employee Al Harris.

So we're gonna give 'em to you -- some letters pro, some letters con. Look for them as the week progresses.

By the way, it's good to be back.
