It’s the St. Nicodemus Day (more or less; the Orthodox figure that was yesterday) edition of the Friday Files, SEA’s weekly reminder that five years ago, we also had some really good stuff on the website.
The views expressed both in K.W. Leslie’s summaries and in the articles are not necessarily those of SEA. Even so, SEA members might find them interesting, informative, or at least entertaining. SEA members are highlighted in blue.
