Much ado about nothing
Dear Editor,
On “Meet the Press” on Sunday, March 8, Lindsey Graham boasted that he has never sent an email. Really? In the 21st century, an educated U.S. senator has never sent an email? He said this in a segment where he blasted Hillary Clinton for a “lack of transparency.”

However, unlike traditional lecture-style lessons, this presentation was of a magical variety. Using magic tricks and comedy to hold the students’ attention, magician Scott Davis presented his “Making Accidents Disappear” program, sponsored by Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative, to students at Pickens Elementary and Hagood Elementary schools.
