A Cedar Rapids retiree and companions spent hours gathering belongings, with one traveler never recovering her suitcase. The piece connects these mishaps to Dante and ends noting the Surf Ballroom closure and Buddy Holly's 1959 crash.

Priest Fights to Close Army School on Capitol Steps
Four weeks into a hunger strike on the Capitol steps Father Roy Bourgeois leads about a dozen activists in a fast aimed at ending funding for the Army School of the Americas at Fort Benning Georgia. They accuse the school of training Latin American soldiers for repressive regimes and cite human rights abuses while urging a House measure to cut taxpayer support.
