Sylvia Rubin's San Francisco Chronicle article "Sass with class: In vampy revue, Ebony Fashion Fair funds scholarships with fantasy" made me smile.

Also: Maryann Reid's Christian Science Monitor commentary "First comes baby, then comes marriage? In the black community, the motivation from peers or families to get married is gone," John Nichols' "New Orleans in black and white" in the Nation's Online Beat blog and Kris Axtman's Christian Science Monitor article "Big Easy heads into a runoff race," Oscar Avila's "Blacks split on support for illegal immigrants" and Tracy Dell'Angela's "Teacher's biting blog stirs storm: Fenger High chaos target of postings" in the Chicago Tribune; and Lacy Banks' Chicago Sun-Times article "Black hole: Fewer African Americans in the majors" and Tom Hoffarth's Los Angeles Daily News article "Leagues of their own"
