A couple of interesting web sites

Lots of (frequently disrupted) ordering-work today, no desk time, so you get a couple of interesting sites I wandered across in Choice today.

For example, I never knew that the Modern Language Association (MLA-- c'mon, you've heard of them. You had to write at least half your papers according to their note and bibliography standards) had a weekly radio show. It's called What's the Word? and you can find out about it (and listen to archived programs) here.

And the Civil Rights Movement Veterans site is just... cool. I've mentioned before how oddly distant the civil rights movement feels to me, history-wise. To me, it's not a recent revolution-- it's the status quo. But to the people on the Veterans site... they lived through it. They were there, and they can still tell us about it. There it is, first-person history, where everyone with Internet access can read it. If you're here, you've got it. Go read.
