A pilgrim's slow progress

Article Abstract:

Pilgrims from all over Europe visit Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where the body of St James was discovered. They have a particular status in that part of Spain, and are frequently greeted by local people. Pilgrims travelling on foot must be prepared to walk long distances between villages, and the terrain can sometimes be very hilly. However, there are many attractive places to stay, and reaching Santiago de Compostela gives a great sense of achievement.

How we've legalized discrimination

Article Abstract:

Affirmative action, intended to remedy discrimination against blacks, turned out to be a violation of the colorblind law. It discriminated against whites and lowered the esteem of minorities who wanted to be judged on their merits.
