The Weekly Round-Up for July 7, 2012

A most interesting week with the July Fourth celebrations dominating the national dialogue. The Episcopal Church has gathered in Indianapolis to discern the next three years of ministry and perhaps beyond. One of the great television personalities of all time passed from this life to the next. The "God" Particle has caused a world wide discussion and fueled interest in the sciences once again. I end with one of my favorite pieces written by Leroy Anderson. Enjoy the Round-Up.
