  • Jessica Duchen is taking a brief medical-related break from blogging: we wish her a speedy recovery! [Twitter]

  • Henri IV, king of France, was murdered 400 years ago this week (May 14, 1610). [Le Monde]

  • Speaking of Catholic University, Dr. Michael Cordovana, one of the most memorable members of the faculty of the school of music there, passed away this week.
