Real Patriots Will Respect Dissenters

After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the nation united in grief. Images of multi-faith prayer services and candlelight vigils with a swath of Americans from every background were splashed across the media. It made for wonderful "United We Stand" headlines.

We have a paper to produce." For The Daily Tar Heel staff, that recognition must have come a little more grudgingly than for most journalists.

Committee Takes Up Lottery

RALEIGH -- After being in session for nine months, the N.C. General Assembly took up what is expected to be one of the most contentious bills of the session. The House Rules Committee held a public hearing Monday to discuss the possibility of adopting a state lottery. Gov.
