Compassionate Journalism

By Meg Heckman | February 2, 2001

Uncommonly Human

By Jim Zien | February 2, 2001

Seventeen summers after graduating from Dartmouth in 1969, I met Half and Susanne Zantop when by felicitous accident my wife Karen and I discovered a simple, virtually secret Maine cottage community beside a stunning cove on a remote down-east peninsula. At Hiram Blake Camp on Cape Rosier -- a place out of time and exquisitely hard to find -- down a looping road to nowhere except back where you came from, Susanne, Half, and their daughters spent a part of each July in a cedar-shingled cabin called Maples, with a wrap-around porch overlooking Penobscot Bay. Summer upon summer, Karen and I shared three weeks of communal life with Half, Susanne, their daughters and other Hiram Blake families from hometowns far and wide.

By Assorted Readers | February 2, 2001

To the Editor: As a Dartmouth alum stunned to hear of this week's tragedy, I want to thank you for rekindling my faith and hope for the special community that is Dartmouth and Hanover.

The Knowledge of Grief

By Linda Romano | January 31, 2001

I have spent the past six months studying grief and bereavement. I have read articles, books, gone to workshops, interviewed people, and the only thing I can say with assurance is that there are no answers. I almost cringed as I wrote that last catch phrase, because it seemed so condescendingly trite, so ridiculously unhelpful.
