ACTA's Must-Reads

Kudos
Paladins of academic excellence -- and, not coincidentally, ACTA friends! -- were front and center this week as they received well-deserved presidential medals in the arts and humanities. Acclaimed historian Richard Brookhiser (who led ACTA Fellows on a memorable tour at the New-York Historical Society some years ago) received the National Medal of Arts, Chicago radio host Milt Rosenberg (who often hosts ACTA president Anne D. Neal on his provocative program Extension 720) won the National Humanities Medal, and the Philadelphia-based John Templeton Foundation (a longtime ACTA supporter) received a Humanities Medal as well. National Endowment for the Humanities chairman Bruce Cole won the Presidential Citizens Medal. Cole is praised in the ACTA-coordinated report E Pluribus Unum for his pioneering work in support of historical literacy. For more details, please see Tuesday's Washington Post.
