ARTS AND HUMANITIES: Visiting the home of a national poet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have also added five photos. I took all of them except for the first one of Mack and Budd; that was taken by Jouko, our Finnish driver. 1. Dr Mack and Michael Budd near the entrance to the Runeberg House Museum. 2. Looking through the vestibule into the salon. 5/ The poet's bedroom with the bed facing the wall to thwart curious passersby. Please be sure to print my byline, author photo, and “Arts and Humanities” title. House museums have long fascinated me. I particularly like the ones dedicat
ARTS AND HUMANITIES: Aiken Symphony concert focuses on the Faustian bargain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So much happened in 1918. World War I was in its final stage. Because Russia had withdrawn from fighting, Germany could focus on the Western Front, launching a big offensive in March. The next month, with the United States entering the conflict, the Allies mounted a counteroffensive that led to an overall armistice in November. So many lives were lost and so many lives disrupted.

ARTS AND HUMANITIES: Going on a pilgrimage (opens the original)
Read excerpt

ARTS AND HUMANITIES: Exploring the Baltic Republics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In discussing my latest overseas trip with friends and acquaintances, I was not surprised to discover that over half of those with whom I interacted had no idea what I meant by the Baltic Republics. I think that it is safe to say that geography is a mystery to many of our fellow citizens. Thus, I decided in this first of a three-part series on my recent trip abroad that I would provide a brief overview of all three countries with special emphasis on their fascinating capitals. Nestled on the eas
ARTS AND HUMANITIES: Revolutionary war heroine had South Carolina connections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In keeping with this year's celebrations of the nation's founding 250 years ago, here is a lookback to a topic that I first covered a couple of decades ago. During the Revolutionary War, particularly in the rural areas of the American South, much of the violence could be attributed not to members of the military but to civilians. Frequently neighbors became mortal enemies depending upon whether or not they aligned themselves against or with the British Crown, and partisan bands of patriots and l
