    "Harry McCawley looks and sounds like a small-town character, in the best tradition. "It billed itself as the world's fastest growing newspaper," he recalled of his employer, The Republic, when he was hired 49 years ago. McCawley, 71, now associate editor, with a head of white hair and wearing a blue button-down shirt open at the collar, tilted back in his seat, a touch of Mark Twain, Frank Capra and Thornton Wilder in his story. "I got there, and realized that they came by that because they'd only been in business a couple of days," he said."

  • Our maple has been a good friend to our family over the years, and perhaps especially to me. How many hours, weeks, seasons have I spent looking out my window at this tree? I don't know; I can't count that hig
  • My window maple is an unremarkable specimen. It's probably 60 feet tall, maybe 75 years old. I can estimate its age with some confidence from the size of its base, and also because it has been a part of the setting here for not that much longer than I have.

  • To be sure, the sugar maple has uses beyond furnishing matter for meditation to the easily distracted. No tree in New England works harder on man's behalf. It is by no means the biggest tree in our woods; the oldest pines and hemlocks regularly grow taller. It's not the longest-lived; those same pines and hemlocks, and some oaks, go back further. Nor is it our most celebrated, or storied, tree, an honor that must go to the American elm, decimated by disease in recent decades, but whose survivors recall the beloved elms, of which every New England village formerly seemed to have had one, under which George Washington must surely have stopped to refresh himself once upon a time.

    "Because rural New England is a well-watered and well-wooded region, people here live much with trees -- trees not only as a natural resource, but for other purposes, as well. Every country place has on it one or more trees that are more than large, unmoving elements of the landscape. They are familiar spirits -- proprietary trees, so to speak -- domesticated trees, trees that owing to their beauty, their history, their location, seem to have a special connection to the place and the people on it."

      Found this but I'm not sure if this is what we are looking for...
  • There were signs of movement toward a potential resolution of the federal government's debt ceiling crisis after both the House and Senate met in unusual Saturday sessions notable for partisan fireworks.
  • House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D) of California and Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada were called to the White House for a 3:30 p.m. meeting about debt-ceiling negotiations with President Obama.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Senator McConnell said that he had spoken to both Mr. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden "in the last hour," and that the White House was "now fully engaged" in conversations with the two Republican leaders about the debt-ceiling crisis.
  • On Saturday, House Republicans essentially showed the Senate that it could play the same game.
