A few things on the web that caught my eye this week:

James A.K. Smith on the fate of the religious college.

Robert Darnton delivers a “jeremianic- utopian” reflection on Google books.

Jill Lepore on the day the newspaper died.

John Schmalzbauer reflects on the inauguration.

Another review of Ira Stoll’s Samuel Adams. This one is by David Waldstreicher. (See my review here).

The “Inspiration Awards” are spreading: here and here and here and here, to name only a few.

Nice piece on Benjamin Carp‘s work on the Boston Tea Party. (HT: Boston 1775).

Walker Percy and Bruce Springsteen

Ronald White on Obama’s use of Lincoln’s Bible.

Ulysses S. Grant papers move from Southern Illinois University to Mississippi State.

Can Barack Obama end the culture wars? Os Guinness hopes he can.
