Attuned to balance
Christa Case Bryant
Editor
One of the things we consider as we compile these packages is balance – of topics, of regions, and of perspectives. We aim to keep you current on big news stories like the LA protests, but we suspect you might also enjoy a nod to the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and his legacy, including inspiring the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper” album. Meanwhile in the Beatles’ home country, we write about British millennials gathering by the hundreds to sing the hymns they sang in school. Sometimes a song – whether innovative or nostalgic – has a way of crossing barriers. Today, that’s news, too.
