Critically acclaimed Georgia author Terry Kay, during WUGA’s Once in a Blue Moon live variety show on Aug. 28, reading his short story about his son titled “The Baseball Player”:
“He was called out at homeplate on a steal. He was incensed. . . . He bulled into the dugout . . . kicking at his helmet . . . . I was angry. . . . And I thought, ‘Oh my God, what am I doing? He’s eight years old. Eight. It’s a game, for God’s sake.’ ”

Pulitzer Prize-winning professor Ed Larson, on the Aug. 25 premiere of a new series on CourtTV called The Greatest Trials of All Time:
“It was clear from the very get-go that the defense [in the Scopes trial] was going to focus on the twin issues of academic freedom: that teachers should be free to teach what they believe is solid science, solid education, and--the other issue--that evolution is a valid scientific theory that Americans should know and that students should be acquainted with.”
