I'm pretty sure I dined in one when I was in grad school, out east. I just think it's funny that the above restaurant claimed that title out here.

I wanted to visit a Cracker Barrel to see what all the fuss is about. This was the only Bay Area location, according to Google Maps (it has since closed).
A restaurant named Cracker Barrel Deli & Thai Cuisine. Probably not affiliated with the chain!

Fantastic resource for historians: a spreadsheet of NARA's digitized microfilm, with links to the files in the Archives catalog. May it help you as much as it has helped me.

A fabulous @warontherocks.bsky.social piece by James Graham Wilson about the release of new FRUS volume National Security Policy, 1985–1988.

i have said before that the fracas at UVA is a product, in large part, of a set of alumni who believe that the university was at its greatest when it was a segregated finishing school for white men. i was not exaggerating, as you can see here in this letter from Scott Douglas Gerber
GERBER: A letter of suggestions for U.Va.’s interim president
What follows are a few respectfully proffered suggestions that I think can help you try to restore the University to the greatness it enjoyed when I was a student decades ago.
