2. Congratulations to Arjun Puri, Akbar Latif, and Matthew
Phillips for receiving recognition for their work in the Bernice Fox Classics
Writing Contest, an annual competition sponsored by Monmouth College (IL). Each
year, this contest selects just one overall cash prize winner but also
recognizes a small number of runners-up with the “Honorable Mention”
designation. The theme of this year's contest: "Hindsight in 2020."
