Interesting facts. The first session of the U.S. Supreme Court was held on Wall Street. Alexander Hamilton’s law office was on Wall Street as is his grave at the little Episcopal church, one of the oldest preserved buildings in Manhattan.

We South Carolinians have longed and hoped for a strong challenger to Lispey Graham in the next Republican Senate primary. Andre Bauer has announced his candidacy. This is not what we hoped for.

• Scatological words routinely used almost every minute in the media and everyday conversation
