  1. Monument to a neighborhood's renewal

    Walking along Mount Royal Avenue from <a href=&quot;http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/mount-vernon/home/university/maryland-institute-college-of-art-baltimore-school-educational-facility">Maryland Institute College of Art</a> to the University of Baltimore, what struck me most was the corridor's abject seediness: The buildings had a thick coating of decades-old industrial grime, there were strip bars across the street from the University of Baltimore, mega-sized roaches and a restroom mockup peeked out from the broad windows of the Odorite Building, prostitutes brazenly plied their trade at the corners of Preston and Charles streets. In August 1982, I was a kid from the suburbs starting law school in the city, and this was my first view of student life in Baltimore. The then-new John and Frances Angelos Law School sat squat and brown at the corner of Mount Royal and Maryland avenues, fronted by a sea of mud where the plaza and Edgar Allan Poe statue now sit. It was depressing.

  8. A year after bankruptcy, lives unsettled still

    The closing of the steel mill at Sparrows Point overwhelmed Bob Jennings. Too young to retire at 59, he faced a gloomy job market for local manufacturing workers and a bureaucracy that couldn't get him timely training help. He felt like a failure.

  10. Affirmative action still needed

    Affirmative action in higher education raises difficult questions of access and fairness. Opponents argue that it discriminates against whites and certain other groups, while proponents emphasize that it increases opportunities for underrepresented minorities. Though concerns about fairness properly limit the scope and frequency of affirmative action, minority underrepresentation in highly selective colleges and universities continues to validate its use.
