“We make out of the quarrel with others rhetoric, but out of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.” Mr. Frohnmayer made poetry out of his leaving. I am afraid that our politicians have made rhetoric out of our poetry. For that we are all cursed and with little hope.
Hope does come, though. It comes from the knowledge of this small place—Rappahannock County. Here it seems possible to participate in a community that respects the land and values the arts and education. In our small way, we can work to build a rich artistic community locally no matter what the plague of ignorance that rages around us. Perhaps Mr. Frohnmayer might care to join us.

'Dead as
a mackeral'
^Wthe Editorr* f • • f
Concerning the charges that Dr. William Lynn’s academic qualifications are questionable, it is hard to see what purpose is served by this sort of character assassination. The fact remains, Dr. Lynn ran an exemplary school, probably the equivalent of the well known British “public” schools, and many scores of young people were abundantly prepared for later life in the process. We have heard this over and over again. Clearly, the Rappahannock News article on this sordid controversy demonstrates that the age of “chivalry,” i.e., sportsmanship, is dead as a mackeral. When a fellow is dead and gone, some people think that it is time, if not to respect his memory, at least to leave it alone.
