  Refugees

  In memory of
  Kenneth H. Bacon, dead at 64
  on August 15th, 2009.

  Bacon was an advocate for refugees.
  

  “Even blue-blooded WASPs were refugees at one time; mine came over from England in 1630, fleeing debts for all I know,” he said.

  From a story in the November 21
   Chronicle of Higher Education
  on a recent St. Olaf College
  reading of Paradise Lost:

  “Of man’s first disobedience,      and the fruit Of that forbidden tree,      whose mortal taste Brought death into the World,      and all our woe…. A red apple made the rounds, each reader tempting the next.”
