I recently went back to my old stomping grounds in Dallas to write about the brand new Bush Institute at Southern Methodist University. See the column here.

2 Winston February 5, 2010 at 10:56 am: – A place for everything, and everything in its place. –

A tidy maxim, but I don’t think it takes into account the power of the elbow.
3 Alexandra February 7, 2010 at 9:35 am: A great article, Ruth. At least the building will be environmentally-friendly ….
4 Anne Gibert February 7, 2010 at 10:32 am: A serious, sensible, informative article. Do we really need another conservative “think” tank?
5 g February 7, 2010 at 11:59 pm: Hi, Ruth,
I’ve been wanting to go to SMU for a while to research about my great-aunt, who earned her degree in music at Kidd-Key Conservatory in Sherman, TX in 1901 or thereabouts – Kidd-Key was absorbed by SMU in the 30s and the archives moved there.
Too bad I didn’t stop by your blog before you went!
