…T he Saline School District was recently dealt a blow when racist incidents within the community made local and national headlines.

…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts Tuesday, February 18, 2020 — 5 One of the many pleasures of Andrea Lawlor’s 2017 novel “Paul Takes The Form Of A Mortal Girl” is the realization I came to that this novel is more or less unreadable by a straight person. It’s saturated with vivid, unsparing depictions of not only gay sex but also the ecosystem that surrounds it — glances and recognitions and guesswork, a whole network o...…

… What started as an average loose ball became anything but. Jon Teske might’ve just missed a point-blank layup attempt, but he wasn’t going to give up on the play. As the rebound evaded the grasp of the Hoosiers, the senior center dove on it and had the wherewithal to find Franz Wagner alone under the basket for two. Teske’s effort, apart from send- ing the Crisler Center crowd into an uproar, capped off an offensive onslaught th...…

The eighth deadly sin, more insidious than its seven predecessors, is the non sequitur (a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement), the tangent, the digression.
